insights, that have made a permanent contribution to the way in which they apply for jobs.

Key steps of our resume evaluation process comprise the following:

(1) Construction of an assessment matrix* for the job you wish to apply for, customizing
templates that we routinely use in consultation with progressive organizations in the social
sector. (Note: Our matrices consider and assign scores to qualifications, experience, skills and
key job responsibilities, apart from the look and feel of both the resume and cover letter)

the assessment matrix
(3) Justification of scores awarded alongwith suggestions for improvement

letter

application is likely to have on the hiring organization.

apply for.

We Study Your Resume and Assess the Likelihood of Your Being Shortlisted

SAMS’ experience of providing recruitment support to bilaterals, UN Agencies and premier

I/NGOs for the past 18 years and assessing literally tens of thousands of resumes, suggests
that less than 15% of these are responsive to the needs of the hiring organization.

Only the top 15 to 20 applications (approx 8% of response), are likely to be looked at closely by
the Hiring Manager and only the top 5 to 10 candidates (approx 3% of response), called for
interview.

Hiring organizations today undertake formal and in-depth assessments of applications and it is
clear that significant care and attention needs to be invested in the preparation of your resume
and cover letter.

SAMS believe that both resumes and cover letters need to be constructed afresh for each job
applied for. Regrettably, there is no generic template that can be recycled from job to job. We
fear it is this lazy, ‘recycling’ approach to applying for jobs, that is predominantly responsible
for your poor success in getting called for interviews.

Our service focuses on content (and not aesthetics), analyzing and formally scoring your resume
vis-a-vis the vacancy requirements, using assessment matrices popular with the more
progressive organizations in the social sector.

We pinpoint all job parameters for which your application is not fully responsive to the hiring
organization’s requirements and need attention and rework to enhance impact, improve scores
and get shortlisted for a final interview.
Please note that our service is geared to help you successfully apply for a specific job. We do
not help make ‘general’ improvements to your resume and cover letter.
