Top features recruiters are looking for on your CV

Whether or not you’ve ever heard the idiom “practice makes perfect”, it is 100% applicable when crafting the perfect CV that will get you hired. You need to constantly write and re-write it to make it as good as it can possibly be. We know it’s not an easy task, especially nowadays since there is an increasing number of headhunters and recruiters who use applicant tracking systems to scan CVs before actually having a look at it, but there are always many ways to show your skills and experience in a better light. This said, we know that CVs from different sectors differ, but there are always common traits which recruiters are looking for and if you don’t include them or stress them, your possibilities of being short-listed are less likely.

Another important point if you are using a job board is to complete your profile as an incomplete one is a huge turn-off for recruiters.

With the help of recruiters from companies across Europe, we created the following infographic which showcases the most important points that recruiters actually want to see on your CV. 

Let’s get it started and happy hunting!
