Recruiter / Talent resume — templates, keywords, and bullet examples
Recruiter resumes get scanned by other recruiters — the ones who know exactly what good bullets look like. Lead with hire counts, funnel metrics, and seniority of placements.
How to angle a recruiter / talent resume
The fastest way to credibility is the three-number opener: hires per quarter, the seniority band (IC4-IC6 / Director / VP), and the function. "12 senior hires per quarter (IC5-IC7) across Eng + Product" tells a hiring manager everything in one line.
Lead with the most senior placement you've made if disclosable. Skip the platform keywords (LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.) for the Skills section — they don't differentiate you.
Section order: Summary → Experience → Skills → Education.
