Our resumes are designed to be read by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and hiring authorities. Your resume will be loaded with keywords and catch phrases to ensure readability. With recruiting expertise and Subject Matter Expert (SME) knowledge on six Applicant Tracking Systems, we write resumes to navigate through these screening devices.
We write resumes that company or agency recruiters read because of our comprehensive background as a professional recruiters in the following capacities: internal corporate recruiter, executive search recruiter, external staffing recruiter (permanent and temporary) and contract recruiter.
