So basically, you read their job titles and a couple bullet points? Maybe the skill section?
I'm job hunting, and I've just switched to a strategy where I focus on those things being amazing and tailored to the job.
Skill section, then I skim bulletpoints if I haven't binned it yet. Anything that passes the bulletpoint section goes to a check-later pile, which I revisit and choose who to interview
Cool, that sounds about right. I'm guessing you're hiring mostly for individual contributors if you're looking at skills first?
IT here, I skim the titles, company, dates, and look at a couple bullet point. If things look good I’ll read the full doc. I don’t hundreds or thousands of apps though since I’m not offering a remote or hybrid position
