We see hundreds of CVs. Here’s what actually gets you shortlisted.
Let’s be honest with you.
Most people think getting shortlisted is about having the best qualifications. The most certificates. The longest CV.
It’s not.
From where we sit at RecruitTech — reviewing CVs and running recruitment every week, here’s what actually separates the people who get called from the people who get ignored:
- Clarity: They know exactly what role they want and why. No confusion, no “I’m open to anything.” Just a clear, confident direction that comes through in everything they submit.
- A CV that tells a story, Not a list of tasks. Not “responsible for this, assisted with that.” A narrative that shows growth, impact, and value one that makes a recruiter want to keep reading.
- A LinkedIn that actually shows up, Not just an account that exists. A profile that is optimised, active, and positions you correctly for the roles you want.
- Evidence of skills not just claims, “I’m a good communicator” means nothing. A project, a result, a number, a portfolio that’s what gets attention.
- A clear value proposition: What do you bring that others don’t? If you can’t answer that in two sentences, neither can the recruiter reading your application.
Here’s the part that stings most candidates are missing at least 3 out of these 5. Not because they lack value. But because nobody ever showed them how to present it.
That’s the gap we built the RecruitTech Career Growth Experience to close.
