Executive Summary
A single job opening can attract up to 250 applications, with software engineering positions often exceeding this number. Sifting through these resumes and identifying the most promising candidates can be a daunting and time-consuming task. We know this very (and painfully) well!
That's why we created the Resume Scorecard.
Designed by software engineers who understand the hiring challenges, the Resume Scorecard provides a structured framework to evaluate candidates based on key criteria relevant to the specific role. This takes the guesswork out of the screening process. This became a game-changer for us in helping our clients build strong tech teams.
And like every good solution, we believe this needs to be shared :)
Use this for your next tech hire, and see the difference!
While ATS has streamlined resume screening, recruiters and hiring managers still spend considerable time reviewing the filtered resumes to identify the most qualified candidates. By focusing on key qualifications and attributes, the framework enables faster identification of top candidates from the ATS-filtered pool, reducing the time spent on manual review by 50%.
23 hours is a recruiter's average resume screening time per hire.

Our resource dives deep into the details of each candidate's technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and relevant experience. By focusing on these core competencies, the framework ensures you evaluate candidates based on their capabilities, not just subjective impressions.
60% are more likely to find a successful hire, if a skills-based approach is used.
The framework puts skills in the spotlight, pushing you to hone in on the specific expertise and experience that are non-negotiable for the role. By letting data lead the way, you can spot the candidates who have the greatest potential to excel and make their mark.
