The compensation bracket for deserving candidates is strongly influenced by the resume perception created by their resume, according to a leading international recruitment firm.
Here’s why and how this happens:
1. First Impressions Matter:
It creates a strong positive perception, which can signal higher competence and value.
2. Strategic Writing, Strategic Earnings: A strategically written resume positions the candidate at a higher career level, which in turn implies a higher compensation expectation.
3. Demonstrates ROI (Return on Investment):
A resume that shows quantified achievements positions the candidate as someone who brings value.
4. Influences Role Fitment and Seniority:
If a resume reflects strategic thinking, leadership, and cross-functional exposure, it can lead to offers for more senior roles, which naturally carry higher compensation.
5. Recruiter Psychology:
A standout resume captures attention and creates the perception that the candidate is top-tier, even before an interview.
Perception-Driven Salary Talks: This perception influences how the recruiter pitches the candidate internally, including salary expectations.
