Tailor my resumeWhy This Resume Works
- Time-to-fill is stated against a benchmark ("38-day average time-to-fill against a 50-day company benchmark"), which tells a hiring manager whether the number is actually good.
- Sourcing is proven with results, 60% of hires sourced directly and reply rates lifted from 14% to 31%, matching the "sourcing" and "LinkedIn" keywords in TA postings.
- Stakeholder work is concrete: structured scorecards, 70 trained interviewers and quarterly hiring plans with finance, the parts of TA that senior recruiters are hired for.
- Greenhouse, Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter and Bullhorn are named, so the resume clears ATS filters for both in-house and agency recruiting tools.
- Full-cycle ownership and volume show up in every role (64, 52 and 38 hires), so a reader can see the requisition load this recruiter can carry.
Common Resume Mistakes
- No fill or TTF metrics.
- Missing ATS or sourcing keywords.
- Vague "recruited" without volume.
