How much time do recruiters really spend on a CV?

How long do recruiters truly dedicate to reviewing a CV?

Hello, everyone!

I recently had conversations with two recruiters regarding their CV screening processes, and their responses were surprisingly different.

One recruiter mentioned they typically spend just a few seconds on each CV due to the high volume they receive. In contrast, the other recruiter emphasized the importance of thoroughly reading every CV to ensure they don’t overlook a strong candidate who might not have emphasized particular keywords or details.

So, what’s the real story?

Recruiters, how much time do you genuinely spend assessing a CV?

Should I have a specific or broad resume?

As a Sales Director in the ISP sector, my resume focuses heavily on the telecom industry. Is it beneficial to maintain a tailored resume for telecom, while also creating a more general one for opportunities in other industries?

Getting new clients at job fairs?

Acquiring New Clients at Job Fairs

Have you found job fairs to be effective for attracting new clients to your recruitment agency? I’m curious if anyone has had experience with this.

Anyone here hired devs from CIS or Central Asia? How was it?

Has anyone here hired developers from the CIS or Central Asia? What was your experience?

With the rise of remote hiring, I’ve noticed an increasing number of companies considering talent from the CIS (like Ukraine and Kazakhstan) and Central Asia (including Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan). Some folks are calling it an underrated opportunity for finding skilled engineers at competitive rates, while others raise concerns about time zone differences, language barriers, and contract issues.

I’m genuinely interested—has anyone worked with developers from these areas? What was your experience like? What were the major advantages and disadvantages? Would you choose to hire from there again?

I’d love to hear your firsthand insights!

If you could go back in time…

Imagine you could travel back in time…

Many individuals find themselves in recruitment by chance. However, if you excel in this field, you can quickly start earning impressive sums—often significantly more than your friends. Because of this, even if it’s not your passion, stepping away can be challenging.

So here’s my question: If you could have a conversation with your younger self, would you recommend steering clear of recruitment? If yes, what would you suggest they pursue instead?

How bad is it to withdraw and resubmit an application?

How detrimental is it to withdraw and resubmit an application?

I mistakenly submitted an outdated resume that’s missing some important keywords. If I withdraw my application to resubmit with the correct resume, will I be flagged or face any negative consequences? My previous application included two essential soft skills that I didn’t mention this time, and I’ve heard that the company uses AI to filter resumes based on matching skills. My new resume includes everything I need. Is it worth taking the chance?
