Other people might be able to confirm it but I have never received an Europass while working in London. I was told I should never send a cv made with the Europass template as the relation between British people and European things is not always the best. I understand this might be incorrect but it was enough for me to avoid using it. Then I also spoke with some HR people from other European countries who told me they didn't really like Europass so in the end I created my own template using Bootstrap. Europass is also largely unknown. Printable spelling list template. Politics aside, it is a good format and I would much prefer to get standardized CVs like this, especially for the skill assessment in languages.The problem here is: some European countries use very particular formats for their CVs.

Germany has the 'tabular CV', which expects all these things to be organized by time and date, it even includes where and when you went to Kindergarten. Europass doesn't fit many of those particularities (which is kind of the point). I had a brief look at HR-XML back when I was in love with XML - it's a very old standard, early-2000s, and yet it's never mentioned by any recruiting website, even 'geek-oriented' ones that should know better.At one point I even added an explicit line to my Word/PDF versions: 'this document is also available in HR-XML format on request'. Nobody ever asked, so eventually I just took the line out. I've never heard of Europass CV, but I live in England, where EU is a dirty word.TBH, this is the sort of stuff most recruiters don't bother with anyway, in my experience the (European) recruiting industry runs on MS Office. Some industry vendors might do some munging and conversion behind the scenes, but they'll likely never allow people to submit their own data outside of tightly-checked web forms.
