The Modern-Day Hiring Process & How it Works
Modern-Day Hiring Processes
Over the years, the hiring process has transformed dramatically due to technological advancements. Things like video interviewing, advanced interview software, online applications, and social media job search sites have changed how people worldwide hunt for employment and get hired.
You now have what seems like a million ways to search for a job, but how do you navigate it properly so that you have the best chances to get hired? We at Vocamotive boast a team of professionals here to help you through the entire process to ensure that you have the most experience and qualifications to get you that position.
Application Process
Each company has a unique way for an applicant to apply, but more and more companies take advantage of the applicant tracking system (ATS). The ATS takes information from the applicants and organizes it into a database to easily navigate through qualified professionals. It is essential that you put relevant and vital information like work history, education, and references. You can also link professional social accounts that you have such as LinkedIn,
When hunting for jobs, it is important to read how they complete their application process thoroughly. Some companies require applicants to submit their resume and cover letter through email, and other employers still favor applicants applying in person. Contact Vocamotive if you are unsure about the application process for a potential job, and we can assist you in filling out information that is most relevant.
Professionally Written & Formatted Resume / CV
The number one goal of those searching for employment is getting an interview and then the job. Your resume needs to:
- Stand out above the rest
- Pass applicant tracking systems
- Show off your skills and value
A poorly written and formatted resume and CV can end up leaving them at the bottom of the pile. Choosing the right format and the best information to put in it is a stressful and difficult decision; that is why you need to consider hiring professional career assistance & writing services like Vocamotive. Our team of experienced and certified experts will help you create the ideal resume and CV designed to give you the best opportunity for success.
What to Include on Your Resume and Cover Letter
Technical vs Non-Technical Skills and Education
On your resume and cover letter, it is essential to list the right qualifications for the job you are applying for. Technical education and technical degrees are aimed more at jobs in the IT, actuarial science, aerospace engineering, and neurology sectors. Technical skills are:
- Algorithms
- Analytical Skills
- Calculating
- Compiling Statistics
- Data Analytics
- Data Mining
- Database Management
- Documentation
- Modification
- Quantitative Research
- Quantitative Reports
- Statistical Analysis
Non-technical skills and degrees are based on cognitive, social, and emotional abilities. If you are a people person and have a degree in something related to interacting with others, then these types of jobs are more for you.
