Our Recruiting Company in Northwest Tampa: Tips For Reviewing Resumes

At our recruiting company, we look at applicants from Northwest Tampa and across the region. Resumes can tell you plenty about a prospective candidate. You can often spot when a candidate has applied for every single job they've come across, or when they've taken the time to personalize their resume for a position. But how do you know if they're right for the job? 

If you're hiring, you may be overwhelmed by the volume of resumes that flood your desk. It doesn't take long to discard candidates who aren't qualified or who didn't read the job description closely. But once you've eliminated those, you'll want to take a closer review of the remaining resumes. Here's how. 

How To Evaluate Your Candidates' Resumes 

When you're replacing someone on your team, you typically know what kind of person would be great in that role. Sifting through resumes can help you zero in on that exact person in Northwest Tampa. From our recruiting company, here are a few tips on how to evaluate resumes to find your next hire: 

• Search for soft skills.  You may be seeking specific certifications or hard skills. But a great candidate will have a mix of hard and soft skills. Look for evidence that a candidate has strong soft skills, such as teamwork or communication, especially any soft skills which suit the role at hand. 
• Look past the job title.  For qualified candidates, you'll always want to look deeper than just the job title. See if they've identified specific duties, responsibilities, and achievements for each job. These details can offer you a valuable picture of how an applicant might fit into your workplace.  
• Monitor for red flags.  Make a note of any red flags or concerns you come across when reviewing resumes. You don't have to rule out an otherwise excellent applicant if they have an inconsistent work history. But it's worth noting these, so you can ask them further questions if you bring them in for an interview.
