Google Voice phone number on resume?

I decided to sign up for a Google Voice phone number in an attempt to limit the amount of personal information in random databases all over the internet. I'd rather have a "disposable" Google Voice phone number in a database than the one tied to my cellphone.

With that said, if a hiring company calls and gets a voicemail that mentions it's powered by Google Voice will that reflect badly on me?

I don't see why they would, I used one too. I'm fairly sure you can set it to go straight to voice mail without announcing it's a GV setup if that's a concern.

No bc google voice allows you to record your own message.

I have Google Voice set up on my actual cell phone. And that's the number I give out. Recruiters almost always end up in my voicemail. Hasn't been too much of a problem.

I setup a Google Voice number to use when applying for out of state jobs.

I've used Google voice for my resume number for years now. No issues yet.
