Before we get started, I want to acknowledge that yes, I am new here, and yes I am aware that this forum is geared towards sales professionals/advice/careers. Yes, I say career, because when "work" becomes a "job" it's no longer a career, and you're no longer happy. With that being said, we all know how the hiring process works, but lets go through some questions for recruiters or anyone in the position to hire:
1.) What are the main disqualifying factors you often see in a resume?
2.) What are the main disqualifying factors in an actual interview?
3.) If your company boasts about being an "equal opportunity employer," and has a constant huge influx of applicants for many roles, what kind of algorithms/AI are used to filter out certain applicants?
4.) If your company is using such algorithms/AI, what is the best way for an applicant to break through that barrier? Is adding keywords from the job description to your resume the key?
5.) What is your preferred platform to view applications? LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, Bravado, company website etc? And what do you do if the position is posted on all platforms including the companies own website?
6.) Do you get annoyed if an applicant reaches out to you via LinkedIn or other social platforms? Or does this help you in narrowing down your search to fill that role?
7.) If an applicant in their current capacity is considered someone who "wears multiple hats," what is the best way to describe their role in their resume? Obviously versatility is key, but what's the best way to document that in the resume you're reviewing/break through the algorithm/AI barrier?
As per one of the last posts shared on here, I'd like to keep this as positive as possible, and would love to hear more questions that I may have not asked.
