It’s very easy to read a CV, jump to conclusions and believe you have a perfect candidate on your hands. What’s really important is that you have a lens that shows you the real needs of your team gathered through job analysis.
When we sat down to write this ebook, it quickly resonated with something we already intuitively knew – that reading CVs is very different from screening CVs.
What this ebook gave us was a better way of framing what we felt – a vocabulary and framework to unite the team behind our CV-screening process. This ebook will help you creatively increase the efficacy of your existing or proposed CV selection process.
It lets you focus on identifying simple patterns that exist in every CV. The challenge for any company is to identify these patterns, understand them and build a process in which they can improve upon for future CV selection.
This ebook isn’t a step-by-step guide to CV screening and selection at your business. Rather, it will give you some of the most valuable lessons we’ve learned over the last twelve years as we’ve applied CV selection theory in practice.
But the lessons we’ve learned are timeless and can be applied to both traditional and online CVs. Our hope is that the content of this ebook will help you to formulate your own lens when screening and selecting CVs now and in the future.
