Resume Feedback from Hiring Manager

• Full Lifecycle Recruiting Experience: Resumes should show minimal experience as a Full Lifecycle Recruiter, specifically recruiting for Software Engineering roles. We will only hire someone with deep SWE hiring experience.
• Focus on Delivery: Role descriptions on resumes should focus on the delivery of hires for Engineering roles, rather than solely on projects or leadership. Evidence of actual recruiting work is crucial.
• Product-Led Engineering Environment Experience: Resumes should demonstrate experience hiring in a Product-led Engineering environment, ideally with SaaS experience.
• Demonstrate Impact: Articulate the impact you had in past roles. A data-driven mindset is valued, and data can show this impact.
• Application Question Responses: Answers to application questions should provide context and demonstrate real meaning for Ashby, going beyond what is stated on your resume.
• Specificity: Avoid general statements. For example, "Recruited a variety of roles" is less effective than specifying "handled Software Engineering recruiting." Similarly, providing a brief blurb about a company helps clarify its sector (e.g., "Product-led organization").
