Sean Griffith on Recruiting EQ: are resumes still relevant?
Sean Griffith joins the Recruiting EQ podcast to dig into a simple question: are resumes still relevant? They talk about what a resume misses and how structured screening surfaces signal a resume can't.
Key takeaways
- A resume tells you where someone has been. It doesn't tell you how they think, communicate, or handle the actual work.
- Structured screening questions surface signal a resume leaves out, so you compare candidates on the things that matter for the role.
- The point isn't to throw resumes away. It's to stop treating them as the whole picture.
