Resumes are losing relevance in hiring as companies turn to alternative methods like social media and personal networks to find ideal candidates.
Technology and standardized resume templates have contributed to a decline in trust, with 85% of people reportedly lying on their resumes.
Job descriptions emphasize behavioral traits (92%), but only 38% of resumes mention them, causing a mismatch in candidate evaluation.
Assessment-based hiring is preferred to reduce biases, with 44% of traditional resume-based hiring processes showing biases. Recruiters now prioritize skills and independent evaluation scores over traditional factors like job stability and keyword matching.
