We Recruit People, Not Resumes

Resumes tell you what people have done, but do they tell you what those people are really all about? To some extent, yes, as you can read between the lines of a resume and draw certain inferences.

Finding the right person requires keen observations, insightful interpretation of past decisions people make, and nonstandard interview questions. Of course, background checking and skills testing also have their place. A day may come when AI gets measurably better at assessing the human qualities which produce great hires, and RMA is constantly researching the state of the art in that effort. But until that day arrives, hiring still remains more art than science, and we have perpetually strived to master that art.

Practice Heads

At Ryan, Miller, and Associates (RMA), all of our recruiters have at least 15 years of recruiting experience, and we’ve been practicing drawing those inferences. But it goes beyond typical inferences. It’s about what that person is really good at, what motivates them, what they may not be so good at, and how much they want to keep learning, progressing, and contributing. How well they can relate to, persuade, and/or motivate others. What kind of people and culture best suits their personality and what obstacles may hold them back.
