How To Effectively Screen Resumes
Screening resumes effectively is crucial for us to identify the most qualified candidates for a placement. Here are some practices that our consultants use for screening resumes:
- Define Clear Criteria
Clearly outline the qualifications, skills, and experience necessary for the position. Generally we will create a criteria system to score multiple resumes.
- Review Key Sections
Focus on key sections such as the candidate’s summary, work experience, education, and relevant skills. Our consultants look for a match between the candidate’s qualifications and the job requirements.
- Check for Relevant Experience
We prioritise candidates with relevant work experience and look for candidates who have experience in a similar industry or role.
- Consider Cultural Fit
A crucial component for us is whether the candidate’s values and work style align with the host company’s culture. We look for indicators of teamwork, adaptability, and communication skills.
- Conduct Initial Phone Screens
The final step of our process is, scheduling a brief phone interview to further assess the candidate’s communication skills and initial fit for the role. We like to use this opportunity to clarify any questions about the resume.
