How Many Minutes Or Seconds Do You Spend Reviewing A Resume? "Human Resource Bozo's" Part 1


What reels you in when you are reading a resume? Is it their name, where they grew up, past employers, or are their qualifications in alignment with the position needing to be filled. 

Often, we are faced with a limited number of resumes or we have a barrage of unqualified candidates applying for positions so they can satisfy unemployment requirements with no intention to move forward through the hiring process. This requires us to scrub each resume we receive, reach out to candidates and have a light conversation about their career goals and the job they are applying to help lay the landscape of creating a great match when they are called for the actual interview.

Another major problem is young or inexperienced recruiters who lack knowledge of the position they are recruiting for, this is a red flag to experienced candidates which can lead to losing them to another company or not sparking their interest in joining the team. It is extremely frustrating meeting a Human Resource team that doesn't have a clue what they are doing and everything they produce is scripted by a bozo leader who lacks experience being a solid leader. 

What reels you in when you are reading a resume? Is it their name, where they grew up, past employer, or their qualifications are in alignment with the position.

They labor pool is extremely low with qualified, caring, passionate candidates, use caution the next time you are reviewing resumes. It will save you from constantly running ads and lower your turnover. 


Coming up In this 3 part series "Human Resource Bozo's" I want to examine the "Ghost Effect" most recruiters exercise while working with a potential candidate.

Higher costs can reduce profits, while lower costs can increase profits. It is important for businesses to manage their costs carefully to ensure they are not spending too much money or not taking advantage of potential savings (get multiple quotes from parts competitors, engage in parts sales promotions, stay on top of your core returns). Additionally, the cost of goods can affect a business's pricing strategy and competitive position in the automotive repair market, both independent and franchise shops.

Employee retention is critical in any industry, but especially so in the fast-paced and competitive automotive repair and maintenance field. Highly skilled technicians are in high demand, and shops that fail to retain their best employees risk losing business to competitors with more stability in their workforce. As an automotive service manager, what can you do to improve technician retention? Here are some key strategies: Offer Competitive Compensation and Benefits One of the top reasons technicians leave a shop is to take a job that pays more.
