Linkedin Vs Cv Which To Use
LinkedIn vs CV — which should you use first
hivi gives you more than one way to build your profile. The choice depends on what you already maintain and how much detail you need for forms.
Start from a CV when
- Your resume file is already the document you send to employers (PDF or DOCX).
- You want long-form bullets: projects, metrics, and role descriptions that often live only on a CV.
- You are applying through ATS systems that mirror your CV closely.
Use Upload CV and review extracted fields, then fix anything the extractor misread.
Start from LinkedIn when
- Your LinkedIn profile is more current than your last saved CV file.
- You mainly need headline, roles, education, and skills for shorter web forms.
- You prefer updating LinkedIn once, then pulling changes into hivi periodically.
Follow the LinkedIn path on Import Your Profile and the extension flow in LinkedIn and your career.
Use both over time
Many people import LinkedIn after a title change, then upload a new CV before a heavy application season. After each import, review mapped fields so autofill stays aligned with your current employers and addresses.
