Your LinkedIn profile might be getting skipped for a simple reason.

It hasn't kept pace with you.

Old roles, half-finished sections, a version of you from a couple of years ago.

The hires that matter most right now are the ones replacing someone who's left.

Get that seat right and the team steadies. That's why we recruit with PI. It's a framework built on getting the seat right.

Sometimes the CV is doing its job.

Those hiring are clicking through to LinkedIn and finding a profile that stopped keeping pace with you a couple of years ago.

The door opens. Then the story doesn't quite hold together.

Worth a look at yours.

Here's a number that stopped us this week.

78% of UK hiring right now is just replacing someone who left.

When that's the reality, speed isn't the win.

Quality is.

When someone likes what they read on your CV, they don't just take your word for it.

They go and check.

And the first place they look is LinkedIn.

70% of the CVs that landed an interview last year included a link to their LinkedIn profile.

The odd part?

The same companies are getting more applications than they ever have.

More CVs than ever. Fewer of the right people in them.

Anyone else seeing this?

#RecruitmentOptimisation #RecruitmentStrategy #Recruitment

[Your Career Optimiser @CareerOptimiser]

Targeting your CV doesn't mean rewriting it for every job.

80% stays the same. Your career history, qualifications, and the bulk of your experience.

The 20% that changes?

That's where relevance lives.

Why do so many candidates who look great on paper fail in the role?

A CV tells you what someone has done.

It doesn't tell you how they're wired, how they think, or how they'll behave under pressure:

And most are still running their assessments right at the end.

Used to confirm a decision that's basically been made.

Flip the order, and the assessment stops being a confirmation tool. They become decision tools.

Here's something most people don't realise.

"The ATS" isn't one system. It's hundreds, and they are all different.

And every company sets them up in their own way.

You don't need to outsmart a hundred systems. Write for the person on the other end.

A stat from a 2012 sales pitch that is still showing up today.

No study was ever published, and the company closed a year later. Recent research puts the real figure closer to 10%.

Write your CV for the person reading it, not the machine storing it.

#CVWriting #ATS

[360 Talent Solutions @360tsolutions]

Every hire matters more than it did a year ago.

Yet most assessments still get used right at the end.

Often, to confirm a decision that's already been made.

What happens when the data disagrees with the gut?

With 92% of rejections being made by a person, writing a CV with the hiring team in mind is where a professional CV writer can help.

Knowing how much to spend depends on the level of service you need:

Even the best interviewers can be swayed by a polished sales pitch.

We use The Predictive Index to look past the performance and measure the natural behavioural drives that predict success.

It’s always interesting to see how CV and resume expectations change from country to country.

One thing that stands out to me is how popular two-column designs are in Europe, while single columns remain the standard in the UK.

A great interview pitch doesn't guarantee a great salesperson.

When 21% of quota attainment comes down to just two behavioural factors, relying on a "gut feeling" is an expensive risk.

[Your Career Optimiser @CareerOptimiser]

Those I speak to feel like they are being rejected before their CV is even read by a person.

All they ever receive is an automated message.

Yet, the reality is that 92% of rejections are made manually by a person.

#CareerOptimisation #CareerBranding #CVWriting

Sales professionals are professionally trained to sell their value.

This makes standard interviews a poor predictor of actual performance.

True sales success comes down to knowledge, experience, and behaviour.

One question has come up more than any other.

How much should I pay for a CV?

Most people have never used a CV writing service before, and when they start looking, the prices can be confusing.
