Whether your candidates are young professionals or veterans in the working world, even the best resumes

tend to blur together when you look at too many in one sitting. Here are some tips on how to e�ciently narrow

down your search and pick just the right applicant.

Keep an eye out for upward mobility, whether it be portrayed through job responsibilities or titles; mobility suggests a hard-working and results-driven employee.

Be weary of job-hoppers, candidates with a string of short-duration jobs might suggest that they won’t

commit to your company for long, either.

Having a well-rounded candidate is key. Look for involvement in profession-related events. This suggests

the candidate is actually interested in the industry. Hobbies, too, are important because they give insight

into how the candidate might be a cultural fit.

Resumes shouldn’t be bogged down with excessive text. A well-structured resume should be organized,

deliberate, clear, and thoughtful.
