> US HR used to throw away any photos that people attached to resumes. (Usually someone attaching a photo was a recent immigrant, who didn't know the US convention.)

Don't they recommend having LinkedIn profile picture for better chances of getting shortlisted? Also assuming you are talking about physical resumes. Wouldn't having a photo attached to resume make more sense in terms of identifying the candidate correctly at any given stage of recruitment, before or after the in person interview?

The recommendation I've seen is to include a LinkedIn profile URL on your resume. This was with the intent that those reviewing said resume would be able to verify that a real person was behind it. I suppose that's reasonable, no?
