Pressed for time? Not a problem. Our pre-interview questionaire and automated reference checks make vetting a candidade east and efficient.
2. An impactful, focused headline and summary
Having a targeted headline also shows strategic thinking and an openness to new opportunities. Professionals know that recruiters look for specific skills and keywords in their profiles. If they highlight those things, it’s a great sign.
On the other hand, someone who rambles or gives too much detail about everything they’ve ever thought about or done may struggle to prioritize what matters vs. what’s trivial. They also might be self-focus and long-winded.
