Tailor my resumeWhy This Resume Works
- The summary gives the three numbers recruiting leaders screen for (requisition load of 25 to 30, 74 hires a year, 36-day time-to-fill against a 45-day target), so the candidate’s capacity is clear before the first bullet.
- Source of hire is broken out ("Sourced 41% of 2025 hires through LinkedIn Recruiter boolean searches"), proving sourcing skill rather than just listing LinkedIn in the skills section.
- Stakeholder work has specifics: 18 hiring managers, intake meetings that agree the scorecard and salary range, 26 managers trained, and a weekly pipeline report.
- ATS keywords match the tools named in postings (Workday Recruiting, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Gem), and each one appears in a bullet that shows what was done with it.
- The path from coordinator to agency recruiter to corporate recruiter is easy to read, and the agency role shows commercial results in gross margin and placements, which in-house teams value.
Common Resume Mistakes
- No metrics (roles filled, time-to-fill, source mix).
- Missing ATS or sourcing tool keywords.
- Generic "recruited" without level or function.
