According to a survey conducted by Superjob among HR professionals, 34% of HR managers believe that applicants should include any hobbies and interests in their resumes, while 27% of recruiters prefer to see only those hobbies that match the specifics of the job and professional skills of the candidate. Only 25% of respondents consider this information unnecessary.

Interestingly, 5% of recruiters talked about cases where applicants’ hobbies actually became the reason for denial of employment.
