Don't kid yourself, candidates are not writing their own resumes

When you are looking for an employee getting a resume is usually the first step in the process. Most of you still do it this way.

When we ask hiring managers why they continue to accept resumes, even though it makes the process very inefficient, they tell us they want to see:

If they use proper grammar and sentence structure
If they make any spelling errors
How they express thoughts

For some time now a person could get their resume written professionally for under $100; BUT now some of these sites are free.

So why are you stuck with doing it the old way. Hard to tell.

Wouldn't it make more sense if you had them apply on line. You would get the basic information included in all resumes but you could also ask questions specific to your company and job that you know they had to construct. Now you really have some insight into the skills listed above that companies say they look for.

Change your process today; you will be amazed at how it will improve the quality and job fit of your prospective candidates.
