Here’s an example I described - a bad day in November!
“The job description was intensely detailed with a long laundry list of tasks. It sounded like things I have done, with a few misses...I continue and push the button to apply.
Next screen is a list of 4 very specific requirements with a pull down checklist for number of years of experience. Two I had, two were the items in their long list which were misses for me. I see no point applying.”
My analysis:
Not productive: burying the key items in a long list of job requirements.
Productive: Your computer CAN scan for you – on a limited level. Listing and ordering the requirements with a checklist of the number of years is computer child’s play. You could even ask for rankings on expertise. Simple example: Excel experience in years: (1 to 10+). Excel mastery level: (beginner to expert)
If you have specific requirements that can be quantified, the computer can pick out your best candidates in a microsecond. But this has to be planned into your application.
Not possible: having the computer tell you what the candidate was able to accomplish with Excel!
We’ll revisit this later in my Top 10 List….but it leads me to Tip #2….
