How does your recruitment agency handle resume formatting?
Recruitment agencies just like yours typically reformat resumes and reformat CVs by utilising one of the following services or techniques:
Outsourced resume formatting services
Advantages of resume formatting services:
Cheap and can reformat at volume
Disadvantage of resume formatting services:
Slow turnaround (24 hours+); quality can be low meaning you end up finishing the reformatting services yourself on top of the slow turnaround
In-house resume formatting
Advantage of in-house resume formatting:
Higher quality than outsourced resume reformatting services
Disadvatages of in-house formatting:
Cost of internal hires; management of employees; creates bottlenecks; still a slow turnaround
Recruiter formatting
Advantage of manual formatting:
cheap from a cashflow perspective; higher quality
Disadvantages:
huge opportunity cost in recruiters spending time on admin; lowers placement volume per recruiter as burdened with admin
Manually Formatting Resumes Vs Formatting Services
Outsourcing to resume formatting services helps your business to scale as recruiters are spending more time filling positions; you do not need to hire internal admins creating linear growth in overheads and hiring and you can process CVs at scale. Really it’s a trade off for your business – quality vs. quantity.
Resume formatting services are widely available but they need to be managed and quality checks need to be in place frequently to ensure your are not doubling up work i.e. outsourcing and still doing some of the work to finish the CV off.
Manual is the enemy though, and the worst efficiency you can have, is having motivated, hungry recruiters spending all day shuffling PDFs and Word documents. Resume formatting services are an imperfect, but better alternative to this.
The problems with resume formatting services?
While scaleable in terms of volume and cost, a tight service level agreement needs to be in place on turnaround time with resume formatting services. Speed is everything in recruiting and resume reformatting services generally come with the challenge of timezones
Quality can be affected for a number of reasons. Often resume formatting services employ teams where english is not the primary language. This can lead to some localisation issues. Also, with the pandemic, many lower paid ‘admin’ staff on these teams have been offered much higher salaries and better opportunities with the advant of remote working, seeing a decline in the quality of output
if you are located in the EU or are a US company, helping an EU company with placements in the US region, GDPR comes into play. You cannot, and should not send CVs with personal contact details to other countries and continents without the appropriate GDPR policies in place. An exceptional resume fomatting service provider, needs to have all of the above covered in a tight service level agreement and you as an agency, need to be ‘on it’ from a management perspective.
The Best Resume Formatting Service?
Resume formatting services exist because of the need to stop recruiters spending 20 to 30 minutes formatting, per CV. Add volume of CVs, and now you have serious ineffeicnecies in your process. And of course, others are filling those vacancies faster.
But that’s changing now…
Allsorter was born because of the decline in the quality and usage of resume formatting services. Even with a good resume formatting service, issues such as quality, GDPR and speed mean the largest (and smaller) recruiters are turning away from outsourced providers to technology. In fact, these BPOs (outsourced providers) often approach Allsorter to use the tool to make their teams more efficient. That is a true sign of how technology is positively impacting the recruitment and staffing industry.
