02What a recruit-grade staff wall has to do
Hiring research published through the Society for Human Resource Management repeatedly returns to the careers page as the highest-traffic recruitment surface. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reinforces that consistent imagery should not vary by demographic. Federal privacy guidance from the Federal Trade Commission further nudges firms toward minimised image collection and individual consent, both of which are easier when each employee runs their own upload.
