It’s time to make your Resume Visible

Job seekers face a whole lot of challenges during their job hunt. The most common is: “I am applying to ‘recently posted’ positions on job portals but it’s been a long time that no one is calling me for an interview”. Have you given a thought, what’s wrong at the recruiting side? 

Scenario #1: Recruiters get 100+ resumes for each requirement which they post on job portals. The first thing they do is: Search for required keywords and consider 10% of the total resumes received for the next screening round. Then they RANDOMLLY call these considered candidates and assess their communication and interpersonal skills along with domain knowledge. They trash other resumes once they get the perfect match. 

Note: Candidates with exceptional technical skills, who are certain that they can be considered for next round, have competition with the top 10% of the crowd and should make sure that their resume STANDS OUT and they get the very first call. 

Scenario #2: The second most important parameter that companies look for in a candidate is excellent communication skill. Hence most of the time recruiters look for a balance of technical and communication skills in a candidate. They love to present a candidate to their hiring authority who is confident, professional and speaks well even if candidate is not technically a rock-star. However there is NO tool in the market to help recruiters find a candidate who is a confident communicator and at least technically average. 

Note: As discussed above, 90% of the resumes that can be a potential match are INVISIBLE to the recruiters. There is a need to make them visible.
