Understanding The Significance Of A Resume From The Recruiters Point Of View

The resume of the candidates is perhaps the most important document possessed by them during the hiring process. This is especially true in countries like Israel, which have clearly defined rules about CV’s that the candidates need to strictly adhere to. Like in most other countries, the recruitment agencies in Israel also make use of software to filter through the countless CVs and present the most suitable ones to the clients based on their specific job needs.
