I actually always made the name part big if I could - not to remember it but for the visual sort of like a face.

Note: I've also seen that for minority / female hiring, a face can really jump your resume up as it makes clear you may help add some diversity to a team.

But you handed them in, in person, and had an in person interview.

If anything, a picture is a loss of historically available visual data on a hire.

I have done that exactly once, at a college recruiting event in 2002, and the person who took it and gave me the pre-screen interview never saw me again until after I was hired.

For the privileged of this board, yes.

Tech jobs are all remote, all the time now.

You would mail in your CV, and the HM wouldn't be the one receiving them if you did hand them in.
