Academics, particularly in Europe: please PLEASE tell your advisees to check with someone before they submit a CV for an academic position with a photo on it. I know Europass has a photo place, but in some countries (or some institutions) CVs with photos must be automatically rejected to reduce bias in hiring. If the advert says "no photo", tell them not to submit a photo anyway! It could lead to an automatic reject.
Also, consider having a "no photo" rule in your hiring.
