Since 2005 I have been working with a number of recruitment systems, and all systems have a common method in screen resumes that apply for a certain position. Here at GLC Consulting is no exception, we have also implemented a recruitment system to aid us process resumes.
One method of candidate search is by means of job advertisements, here a recruitment agency will receive hundreds of resumes of candidates that are interested in applying for a vacant position. These hundreds of resumes cannot be read one at a time by a dedicated consultants. What a recruitment agency does is process all the resumes into a recruitment system, where the consultant will use the search function within the system. Through this system the consultant then short list a few candidates to finally interview
This means the first item your resume must satisfy is a recruitment system, yes, man against machine. How can this be done? Very much like Google a typical recruitment system will search for keywords within the many resume submitted.
