Hiring is not just about resumes. A perfect resume does not equate to success on the job. A candidate may NOT check every box on your checklist, but very well could bring tremendous value to an organization. Resumes do not perform jobs. People do. If you want to HIRE people and not resumes, you need to spend a moment speaking with them. 🤝 This is where the magic of staff augmentation happens. By sharing your requirements with staffing companies, you simplify your hiring process. Let the experts spend that crucial moment speaking with the candidate who can truly be a stellar fit for your company. Remember, great hires are more than just a piece of paper. They are individuals with skills, personalities, and potentials waiting to elevate your team to new heights. Make your next hire count by focusing on the person, not just the resume. 🚀 #StaffAugmentation #HirePeopleNotResumes

How I’ve Reviewed Resumes for 14+ Years – Avoid These Common Mistakes! After over 14 years in recruitment, I’ve seen thousands of resumes—some great, but many that miss the mark. One of the biggest mistakes I see? Candidates not highlighting the experience that’s specific to the job they’re applying for. Bold opinion: A resume that doesn’t tailor itself to the job is as good as a missed opportunity. You have valuable experience—make it stand out! Every role you apply for should have a version of your resume that highlights the skills and accomplishments relevant to that specific job. Generic resumes don’t grab attention, but targeted ones do. How to fix it: 1. Tailor your experience. Focus on the skills that match the job description. 2. Use quantifiable results. Numbers are proof of your success. 3. Avoid clutter. Only keep what's relevant—less is more. I've been on the other side of this process for years, and believe me, the resumes that stand out are the ones that directly answer the job’s needs.

Today, while going to work, I noticed a nearby company trash filled with resumes. It hurts so much that you took candidate resumes and threw them in the trash. It doesn't matter if the candidate is chosen or rejected; it's terrible practice to put resumes in the trash. If at all feasible, please take soft copies rather than hard copies. Please file any physical copies you take; do not discard them... #recruiterlife #recruitment
