Article: Should Job Seekers Disclose Their Vaccination Status Upfront?
s more companies consider establishing a vaccine mandate, a trend is taking shape: Job seekers are promoting themselves as "Fully Vaccinated" on applications, resumes and LinkedIn profiles to stand out.
Some experts are beginning to say that vaccination status is a must-have line item on resumes and LinkedIn profiles as employers prepare for regulations that limit hiring to people who have been vaccinated.
The Biden administration in September issued a mandate for federal workers and government contractors to be vaccinated by later this year, and a forthcoming Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule will require employers with over 100 employees to get their workforce vaccinated or undergo at least weekly COVID-19 testing.
In addition, data from jobs sites shows an uptick in job postings that seek fully vaccinated candidates as a condition of employment. As of Aug. 30, the share of job listings requiring vaccinations has soared on Indeed, with job postings per million requiring vaccination up 242 percent from a month earlier. More than 50,000 new job postings on jobs site Adzuna require COVID-19 vaccination, up from 35,000 in July and 2,300 in January, with positions in health care, hospitality and information technology the most likely to require vaccine disclosures.
Thus, for job seekers, letting potential employers know upfront that they are vaccinated could mean the difference between getting a recruiter's attention or not.
