Recruiter resume example

Recruiter resumes are judged on speed and volume: how many open reqs you carried at once, how fast you filled them, and whether offers actually got accepted. Put those three numbers where a skimming eye lands first.

Name the ATS and sourcing tools directly since both software filters and hiring managers search for them by brand.
