90% of my time spent to applying a job is procrastinating to craft the perfect resume 🗒 ! How many of you would agree? Time I put in perfecting the resume = Months Time spent by a recruiter or hiring manager reviewing that resume = 20 Seconds And if you are not from a premier institute or have big brand names in your experience, where do you stand a chance to get a second glance? Traditional ATS are not robust enough for suggesting synonymous keywords. How the the Recruiter understand whom to shortlist? No! I am not calling anyone out here. Previously, I would simply blame the recruiter whenever I didn’t get shortlisted. But, I recently sat with our TA Prakash Selvakumar, and the struggle is damn real! We have 1k+ resumes for each job listing. What does he do? Where does he start? Let me admit this out in the open ”A Day in TA’s life is overwhelming” Now there are 3 parties in a job listing. And to each, the problem is different 1️⃣ The Applicant 👩💼 - How does one cut through the noise to get an interview? 2️⃣ The Recruiter 👨💼 - How does the recruiter shortlist good profiles for a on open role? 3️⃣ The Company/Hiring Manager 🏤 - How the company ensure they have access to the top talent pool & hire the right candidate? Now I wonder, Are resumes still the way ahead? 🤔 P.s. On a completely different note, We are hiring multiple positions at Rocketlane.

Thanks Dhirajkumar Chettiar for saying it out loud which only a recruiter can empathise and most applicants/people tend to neglect.
