In most cases, my experience is that overwhelmingly large number of responses to the job ad restrict the ability of the HR deptt to review each resume objectively. Use of computer based (automated) softwares to sift through the resumes have made it all important to have the right key words to get noticed. Unfortunately in my opinion, resumes have lost their relevance and the jobs are more and more offered on the basis of referals. This is not necessarily a mal-practice but a compulsion in the face of unmanageable quantities of the resumes that flood the offices of the HR managers.

There may be many reasons, and I'm dying to know what these top reasons are from you Mrs. Bota, being in the recruitment.

 

I can only list this as probabl a major (new) reason for rejecting resumes:

Writing CV's that are "incompatible" with (or not optimized for) the so-called Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), like the one developed and employed by Bayt.com. Such systems filter submitted CV's according to relevancy based on keywords, with no human intervention the first stages. This causes many CV of otherwise competent applicants to be excluded from the race for a specific job.

These days Recruiters are looking for "Success Stories" or "Achievements" to be written in resume

Because mostly resumes are not that clear as they do not communicate effectively or they do not focus on required details.
