Why Text Resumes are Failing to Impress Recruiters!
How many times have
you applied for a job but didn’t receive any further update?
A lot, right?
You end up thinking
whether your resume was not good enough; what you can write better and what you
should remove. But let’s face it - no matter what you do, you can never be
entirely be happy with your CV and feel that it does full justice to your
achievements, experience and very importantly - personality. The next obvious
step? Going online and searching for different resume templates or resume
building apps.
Have you ever wondered
whether your resume ever reached the concerned person? Did the HR manager even
SEE the huge number of skills you wrote on that sheet of paper?
According to experts, “98%
of job seekers are eliminated at the initial resume screening and only the “Top
2%” of candidates make it to the interview” - Robert Meier, President of
Job Market Experts (Workopolis.com, 2016). With the sheer monotonous and
set-in-stone templates, HR recruiters have expressed their concern on whether
text resumes can actually manage to give them a holistic overview of a
candidate.
With the progress in
technology and noticeable spike in the number of early adopters, ‘video
resume’ or ‘video CV’ has become the latest catchphrase for recruiters,
students and job-seekers alike.
Sounds complicated?
Not at all.
By definition, a video
resume is a short video introduction of the candidate which allows them to talk
about their skills, talent, and what makes them unique. As a major
add-on, it gives an excellent platform for the candidate to express why
he/she is the best for that position in the organisation and really give a
good first impression. In the last 3 years, video resumes have become the most
effective way to get noticed by recruiters. A 60 second video showcasing
the communication skills and confidence of the candidate (which is not at all
certain in a text resume) increases the chances of getting called face to face
interview by 60%.
Let’s take an example
- say, you’re appearing for a creative job. In your video resume, you can speak
about all the projects you have worked on, and additionally upload your
portfolio (if any) in the Autogram App. A hiring company will immediately be
able to understand your work, personality and the value you can bring to their
organisation in the first stage of your application which will inevitably urge
them to call you for a final face-to-face interview without wasting any time.
A video resume gives
both candidates and recruiters an extra edge.
Recruiters are able
to:
- Evaluate job applications better
- Screen the best candidates
- Hire smarter & faster
- Save 70% Cost and Time
Candidates are able
to:
- Showcase their true potential
- Communicate their skills and passion for the
job
- Increase their chances of final selection by a
huge margin
So, what are you
waiting for? Download Autogram from Google Play or App Store, create your video
resume and start applying for jobs right away!
