CHATGPT RATED MY CV A "7" OUT OF 10 HERE ARE THE AREAS OF IMPROVEMENTS IT ASKED ME TO LOOK AT

As a recruiter, I review CVs daily to place candidates in various roles I'm advertising. Some of the CVs I receive are quality whiles are others are lacking. In this competitive employment landscape where job postings receive hundreds of applicants, your CV has to stand out.

Beating ATS

Large companies use Applicant Tracking System (ATS), a software used to access candidates by rating their CVs to see if they're a fit for the advertised role. ATS scans CVs to see if it has the necessary keywords for the CV to be shortlisted.

Every applicant has a responsibility to ensure their CVs beat ATS and their CVs are shortlisted.

In my effort to be innovative in my skills as a technical recruiter, I resorted to CHATGPT to review my recruiter profile and give me feedback on the areas my CV falls short

CHATGPT RESPONSE

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this CV a 7. It has a solid foundation but can be enhanced to make a stronger impact.

Strengths:

1. Clarity and Conciseness: The CV is clear and concise, focusing on relevant experience and skills.
2. Relevant Experience: Highlights specific duties that align with the role of a technical recruiter.
3. Education and Certification: Clearly lists the educational background and a relevant certification.

Areas for Improvement:

1. Lack of Quantifiable Achievements: The CV could benefit from quantifying accomplishments (e.g., "Placed X candidates in Y months," "Increased client satisfaction by Z%").
2. Missing Professional Summary: Adding a brief professional summary at the top could give a quick overview of your experience and what you bring to the table.
3. Absence of Soft Skills: Mentioning soft skills such as communication, problem-solving, and time management would strengthen the CV.
4. Technical Tools and Platforms: Highlight any specific tools or platforms you’ve used (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, CRM systems, or specific ATS software).
5. Lack of Testimonials or References: Including a testimonial or a note on references could add credibility.

How it Can Be Better:

• Add Quantifiable Achievements: Show measurable results to give more weight to your experience.
• Include a Professional Summary: A 2-3 line summary highlighting your career goals and what you bring to the role.
• Expand on Skills: Include both hard and soft skills, and list specific tools or software you are proficient in.
• Highlight Career Progression: Explain any advancements or key milestones since founding the company.
• Add Endorsements/References: If possible, include a short quote or a line about references being available upon request.

These enhancements can help your CV stand out more effectively when applying for a technical recruiter role.
