Discussion Questions

1. What impact do you think resume screening tools are having on HR departments?
What about line managers? Would you use the software to screen resumes ?
The impact that I think that resume screening tools have the huge impact on HR
department which is screening tools have allowed the recruiters’ and the managers’ to
have more time. The time can be used for a variety of reasons like hiring individuals
who are most qualified for the organization rather than sorting resumes. In time, it will
save the company both time and money. HR department may receive too many of the
document such as more than a thousand for the one position.
Impact of the resume screening tools is also the HR department will also use the
software that suitable with the right applicant for the job and also it will save the time,
money and also the effort that takes to screen. The resume screening tools is still
become the important for the other company to use because still efficient.
Software to screen tools will be using because the tools allows the departments
of human resources to choose the right candidate for the position without wasting the
time. It will avoid from the personal bias which due to its which only the software
screening. There will be the potential candidate listed when put the certain thing which
is keyword, skills or the experience or the position.

2. How might the drawbacks associated with resume screening software be

addressed ?
There are the drawbacks that associated with the using of resume screening
software which is by the implementing of the technology instead of the human
interaction in selecting the candidate for the job. The first one, the company may have
to missing the important potential candidate because there is no keyword, skills and
position cannot be found in the resume the candidate give. In the resume there will be
something missing which is the personal approach of the candidate.
The resumes are being screened through the online computing software this
doesn’t means that the resume is the best one. It is because the computer is not the
human so that we cannot say that the process that using the computer software is
followed as the resume screening software, which means the applications may separate
the resume based on the certain keywords first.
