Maybe put contact info on it though?

If you want me badly enough, you'll reverse image search me.

HR doesn’t like to be put in situations where they might be accused of discrimination. If you put a headshot on your resume you are going to get it thrown out. The only exception is something like modeling.

Not hr but I screen a lot of applications. It's very common to see photos and we don't throw these out. If someone wants to see what you look like it's a 10s search unless you've really gone out of your way to keep a low profile.

If you are looking up what people look like before deciding on an interview then you have a legal problem.

You also have an ethical problem, but if someone wants to put their picture on their CV in most cases it's up to them. It's a common practice, and I think very few places would "throw them out" without prior explicit instruction to not include a photo.

Your use of ‘CV’ indicates you may not be from the US. These things are pretty cut and dry here.

Where is "HR" a scientific field?

My favorite tactic is to create a Privacy (.com) burner card that is 1-time use and only allows $1 max. Running the card fails, which reminds me to go cancel the service, and the 1-time use means if it does somehow get charged, I’m only out $1.
