Avoid the HR Screen

When candidates send their own resumes to a company, a professional Human Resources "screener" culls out most of the resumes. These "screeners" often look for key words because they may not be well versed in a particular field. So they look for candidates who "appear" to have the required credentials. The "screener" can eliminate your resume only because s/he does not know your particular industry or understand your qualifications.

The Human Resources "screener" then forwards all the accepted resumes to the hiring manager, who once again screens out most of the resumes. The ones that remain usually go back to HR to be scheduled for an interview with HR first, then later with the hiring manager - if you pass the first round of interviewing. Feedback is slow - sometimes even non-existent.

In contrast, Halderson Associates' direct relationship with the hiring manager gives your resume the attention it deserves. We maintain constant contact with you and the client company's hiring manager. We present your qualifications directly to the hiring manager; we also arrange your interview and then follow up with the hiring manager. You receive feedback quickly from your Halderson Associates in-house consultant.
