INSIGHT

Recruiters Do A Fast Qualification Scan

  • Recruiters perform a quick "qualification scan" of resumes to find specific skills, experience, keywords, and outcomes.
  • Passing that quick scan determines whether your resume gets a deeper read or is rejected immediately.
ADVICE

Maximize The Top Of Your Resume

  • Put the most relevant experience, skills, and keywords at the very top of your resume to pass the qualification scan.
  • Recruiters read from the top down, so prioritize content that matches the job immediately.
ADVICE

Drop Objectives And Fluffy Summaries

  • Remove objective statements and fluffy summaries because they focus on what you want or use jargon with no proof of value.
  • Replace them with concrete, relevant evidence of what you deliver to employers.
