Research shows recruiters take an average of 6-7 seconds on an initial pass, and they're looking for reasons to eliminate you, not reasons to move forward.[1] Every red flag in those first few seconds increases the odds your resume gets rejected before anyone reads the second bullet point.
The problem is most candidates don't know what those red flags look like until it's too late.
