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?
