AccruePartners Releases "Evaluating a Résumé Credit Score" Report

Charlotte, N.C.—Jan. 23 , 2007—AccruePartners, a Charlotte, N.C.-based recruiting and staffing firm, today announced the release of the “Evaluating a Résumé Credit Score” report. Creating an effective résumé—therefore building a high résumé credit score—requires an understanding of how employers judge candidates’ résumés.

A résumé credit score is a means of gauging the risk an employee poses, or the potential they offer, to employers based on a number of résumé features including accomplishments, content, formatting, the accuracy of the information, etc. The report dissects the integral components of a résumé, from employment history to education to formatting and grammar, as well as offers expert advice on how to improve one’s résumé credit score.

“Employers have told us repeatedly that they’re just not seeing the high-caliber candidates they’re seeking,” said Amy Noland, principal partner at AccruePartners. “We wanted to educate candidates about what employers are looking for so that top performers can market themselves more effectively and catch the attention of executives who normally spend 10 to 20 seconds with a résumé before making a decision.”

Key topics discussed in the report include:

•           The components of a résumé credit score.
•           How employers evaluate a résumé credit score.
•           How to improve your résumé credit score.
•           What to highlight in your résumé and the appropriate format to use.
•           Examples of résumés with high and low résumé credit scores.
