In that six seconds recruiters basically focus on the name of the candidate, previous company’s name, previous position’s joining and quitting date, present name of the company, current position’s starting and ending dates, and the educational qualifications. Based on these six data, recruiters did further more scanning for some of the keywords that matched the opening position.



So, as you all have got to know that the recruiters spend just around 6 seconds to scan your resume, you need to prepare your resume in such a way that it will be easier for recruiters to figure out the relevant information easily . So, prepare your resume in a clear hierarchy and avoid including any further visuals which can distract the recruiter as it place a very important role in recruiters decision making.
