in the resume. In some cases, this can be done through checking candidate’s social
media profile.

resume looking for some additional characteristics or abilities that are known as
preferred criteria. Some candidates may not meet the exact preferred requirements,
but can be selected based on some other valuable skills.

 Personalized Applications are Top Priority: Prioritize those applications
who have prepared their resume and cover letter keeping in mind the
requirements of a particular job.

Red Flags: Check whether candidates proofread documents or emails

before sending it. A poorly formatted resume reflects candidate’s
unorganized approach and casual attitude.

 Applicant Tracking System: This is very important to track applicants to determine

shortlisted candidates as well as who is moving to the next level. Use keywords to

search applications and give weightage those applicants who have incorporated the

keywords in their resume and cover letter.
