The Death of Resumes !!

Times are changing and so are employers !! Employers are dumping the traditional Printed resumes and now are becoming entirely Digital!! Resumes are no longer read & thus you might have to fill out an application / online form. Here’s what Google does:-

Google, uses a screening program to measure applicants' attitudes, behaviors, personality and biographical details. Answers are scrunched in a formula that creates a score, indicating how well the candidate is likely to fare on the job.

"Applicants may be upset, but I see no resolution in sight,"

Employers for sure will benefit out of the entire process of “Digitization of Resume” but candidates & Head-hunters are not very pleased. The Big IT Giants in India have been forcing their panel of consultants (as well) to submit resumes digitally and thats a sign of adaptation to the west. So if you are looking for a Job, be prepared to fill in Online Applications – they are here to stay !!

Though Efficiency of the process is something every recruiter would love to have, i am still not sure whether it is the right time to experiment…
