Ask HN: How good are you at judging resumes?

Hey HN,

Can you guys please help me with an experiment I'm running?

You may have seen some of the data-themed blog posts about engineering hiring that I've written in the past (e.g. http://blog.alinelerner.com/lessons-from-a-years-worth-of-hiring-data/ and https://blog.hired.com/what-i-learned-from-reading-8000-recruiting-messages/).

If you've liked them, please help me write the next one! For this one, things are a bit different because I'm actually running an experiment, rather than just mucking about with data after the fact.

If you're actively involved in hiring engineers, it would be awesome if you could participate. In the experiment, you'll be making value judgments (would/would not interview) for 7 engineering resumes.

Thank you! I'll explain what this is all about and share the results after the experiment is over.

  • We gave up on them entirely.

  • Try nemcv.com, they make the formatting easy, you just enter the content. A nice looking resume and photo are important
