Where Recruiters Look First When Reviewing Your Resume
You probably already know that recruiters don’t spend much time reviewing each resume. Hiring managers don’t either. So by all accounts your need to get their attention fast.
The often referred to study done by The Ladders found recruiters reviewed resumes for 6 seconds before making a decision.
When I was recruiting I spent more than 6 seconds reviewing candidate resumes before making a decision whether or not to contact them for an interview. The recruiters I know spend more than 6 seconds too.
