When to bypass HR when submitting a resume

Submitting a resume bypassing the HR department can be beneficial when it comes to a large company

“Why do I think that Eicharov should be jumped by submitting a resume to the first person? Everything is simple. Let's see how the HR department of a large company works, ”explains Alena Vladimirskaya.

The recruiting service hierarchy is as follows:

    There is a head of the department. He “accepts” the search tasks from business unit managers and then builds up the department: manages the budget, sets priorities, develops a strategy for attracting people, holds tenders for agencies and more.
    Leading recruiters obey him, who close the most difficult vacancies by segments - conduct interviews, evaluate candidates, and so on.
    There are still resectors and assistant assistants who report to leading recruiters.

Who are the receivers and what is their role in the company

Basically, according to Alena Vladimirskaya, these are girls who have either just graduated from a university or are still studying. In general, they still have a poor idea of ​​how the industry works. And they don’t have any expertise in evaluating people - they fill their hands, shoveling the resume database for many hours a day and first interviewing candidates.

That's when you send a resume to the general box of the personnel service of the company, it gets to them.

“I repeat - most of the time girls have no expertise. And she has nowhere to take, because they are just learning. Further, such a girl, reading your resume, works as a search engine of the generation of the 90s. That is, she is looking for a match between the keywords of the vacancy and your resume, ”explains Alena Vladimirskaya, the selection features.

Examples of matching can be many:

    You worked in those companies that are interesting to this company.
    You have an education that is valued at this company.
    You have a match between the position and the industry with the vacancy that is open.

If so, then you are called for an interview. But if the parameters do not formally match, your resume flies to the basket.
The two main problems of the candidates, which are initially selected by the receiver, not the leader
1. Incorrectly described work experience

If you have relevant experience, but it is not packaged in the way the company needs, or the receiver simply does not think that the experience is relevant, then you have no chance to get into the company this way.

And the head of these patterns is free. He looks at the summary at the essence, and not at the regional restrictions, realizing that in your work experience it is very important for him, and that it is a formal husk.
2. Informal filters from which only the head is free

In addition to formal filters, which are always written in vacancies (work experience, education, languages, etc.), there are also informal ones that are illegal to publish, but, of course, companies take them into account:

    For example, age. Both very young and over 47 years old, for example.
    For example, companies from which they do not take employees (for example, a friendly company).
    Or gender - for some vacancies, in principle, they do not take women, but for some men.

If your resume falls under any of these filters, its receiver will be thrown into the basket. But the head can neglect these filters, seeing in the resume important to him.

The receiver, on the other hand, will almost never take risks: it simply because of little experience does not see what is important, and because of its lower position, it is afraid to take risks and go beyond the limits of what is allowed.

“And the funny thing is, as soon as the receiver gets his hand with the resume and begins to see the essence, he moves to a higher position (there is more money and more interesting to work with), and a new girl is taken in his place again without experience,” commented Alena Vladimirskaya about the career the growth of recruiters.

That is why it is useful for all applicants to write in the resume what the employer wants to read. What exactly - you can almost always find out in the text of the vacancy. And it’s good if everything described turns out to be true at the interview.

4 tips on how to take work on time

Why do we break deadlines Any task will take as much time as you devote to it - Parkenson's law. That's why sometimes we wonder how quickly we can do something. For the same reason, we often end up at the limit of opportunity in the last minutes of what has been allotted for several days or even weeks. The word dead-line used to mean the line around the prison, for which prisoners could not be interceded neither day nor night in fear of immediately getting a bullet. Now the deadlines are associated exclusively with work, and their failure does not threaten the execution of the entire department. But the essence remains the same: deadline - life or death for your productivity or project. Our thinking is arranged in such a way that we put as much time and money into the plan as necessary, if everything goes according to the best scenario. But obstacles are often encountered along the way, and the scope of work may increase. Then we explain the deadlines by the fact that u

How to get out of the shadow of your boss

What kind of bosses are we talking about In principle, we can also talk about such chiefs, from whose shadows it is also necessary to come out:     charismatic bosses outshining their deputy;     malicious bosses standing in the way of the career growth of a talented subordinate;     tyrants who simply say “no” to any proposal;     bosses who appropriate all the merits;     political bosses, very nice with subordinates, but not letting them grow, promoting only their career interests;     hooligan bosses who keep everyone in fear. But the situation is much more complicated when you are interdependent with the boss: the boss changes your job and takes you with you, in the disorganization of the leader, it is you who substitute your shoulder and help out when you need to talk to the leader — you are those “free ears”. Only the laurels are still given to the boss, but not a spotlight. Such a symbiosis needs to be torn. Too much of a boss’s place in life acts like a parasite o
