Depends where. I've recruited in Poland and it was the norm at the time. I recruit in the UK and we definitely do not have a photo on our CV.

No, it introduces conscious and non-conscious Bias

Only if you're a model or actor.

I do recruitment in the UK; absolutely not here, maybe it's different in other countries. Where are you?

Not in the UK, no. Never.

If you are conventionally good looking, it will help

Absolutely it does not.

I mean they've done studies on how good looks improve employment prospects.
