A survey of job seekers finds that many include address or location details on their CV in ways that could be used to filter them out during early hiring checks. Intelligent People questioned about 70,000 potential candidates on what address information they think should be included, and results focus on a common “simple address mistake” that appears frequently.
The outlets frame the issue as a practical CV-screening problem, emphasizing that address accuracy and presentation can affect whether applications pass initial review. The reporting is largely based on the company’s database and survey findings, rather than on guidance from employers or regulators, and does not provide specific examples of job listings or hiring decisions. The emphasis varies in tone, but both accounts point to the same underlying theme: address-related details are a frequent point of error for applicants.
Overall, the coverage directs job seekers to pay attention to how they list address or location information, suggesting that even minor errors may be enough to reduce the chances of progressing to interviews.
