Resume Roast for Recruiters

Recruiter resumes get the same treatment recruiters give candidates: seven seconds, numbers first. Fills per year, time-to-fill, offer-accept rate, and the seniority of the roles. Talent acquisition professional with a passion for people describes every recruiter and no recruiter. Forty-five fills a year at a 38-day average, 92 percent offer acceptance, engineering roles: the reviewer stopped scanning right there, in a good way.

What Gabe checks first on a Recruiter resume

Lead with volume and speed, like 50 fills a year at 35 days average against a 45-day company baseline. Those two numbers are your quota story.
State role types and levels, like backend engineers through directors, or high-volume retail at 200 hires a quarter. Recruiting engineers and cashiers are different trades.
Show sourcing skill with a ratio, like 60 percent of hires from self-sourced pipeline, not applications. Recruiters who generate candidates outrank ones who process them.

Worth knowing

The claim that ATS systems auto-reject 75 percent of resumes traces to a 2012 marketing claim, not research. (traced to a 2012 vendor marketing claim)
