The latest Jobvite Recruiter Nation study showed that resume format is of increasing importance to recruiters.
This doesn’t mean they are looking for fancy, designer-style resumes! It does mean they want resumes that are easy to skim and find what they need – why your client is the obvious choice for an interview.
Neuroscience readability studies show design elements that improve readability, and these same elements also make a resume more modern.
But how do you achieve those looks while making the resume parse nicely when scanned by an applicant tracking system (both are possible on the same document!)?
How do you make sure your clients stand out without getting screened out?
With insights from neuroscience, data visualization, eye-tracking studies, ATS experts, and graphic design!
If you are thinking, this sounds complicated…I don’t have time…can’t I just use a template? Don't worry! We’ve got strategies focused on clean, modern designs anyone can create quickly (and modify easily for new looks) and more advanced formatting to bolster content strategy.
