If you are a Recruiter, You should be very quick at CV Screening. CV Screening depends on your Basic knowledge. You should aware about the points what to read in a CV or not.
Although we may never know why we didn't get chosen for a job interview, According
to TheLadders research, recruiters spend an
average of "six seconds before they make the initial 'fit or no fit'
decision" on candidates.
The study
used a scientific technique called "eye tracking" on 30professional
recruiters and
examined their eye movements during
a 10-week period to "record
and analyze where and how long someone focuses when digesting a piece of
information or completing a task."
In the
short time that they spend with your resume, the study showed recruiters will
look at your name, current title and company, current position start and end dates,
previous title and company, previous position start and end dates, and
education.
There are some
points through which you can increase your resume sourcing speed.
1. Location. If the client is in
Chenai, India and you aren’t – goodbye. Few if any clients want to relocate
anyone in this economy, and I believe most shouldn’t have to. If they do have
to consider relocation the position has to require some very unique experience
that few jobs do. I can do this in about 1 second.
2. Industry. If my client is in banking and your
background is primarily manufacturing – goodbye. These two often are so
different that the client isn’t open to considering such different industries.
This works both ways, if you have a manufacturing background I’m not going to
consider someone with banking. 2-3 seconds to determine this.
3. Function. If I’m doing a sales search and your
background isn’t sales – goodbye. Generally companies are paying recruiters to
find them a perfect fit. We never do find a perfect fit, but we have to be very
close. They don’t need a recruiter to find them someone in a completely
different function. 2 seconds to figure this one out.
