Whether you are an HR recruiter, a contingency recruiting manager, or a retained recruiting professional, the plethora of applicants and the prevalence of online job searches have made finding the right job candidate a daunting task. For each posting, you may receive hundreds, if not thousands, of resumes. This is why technology has become a critical tool in narrowing the list of applicants.
Savvy job recruiters will have configured their information systems to identify those resumes that contain keywords reflective of the job description created for the open position. If you are charged with hiring, or if you influence hiring decisions, give serious consideration to those resumes that contain the all-important keywords.
