3 mistakes HR executive resumes make

  1. Copying the job title's duties

    “Handled all HR functions” describes every HR resume. Give the headcount, the number of joiners you onboarded and the compliance filings you owned.

  2. Leaving out the statutory words

    PF, ESI, professional tax, gratuity and the Shops and Establishment Act are exactly what recruiters search for. If you did that work, use those words.

  3. No numbers on speed or retention

    “Onboarded 120 employees in a quarter” or “cut exit clearance from 15 days to 7” shows how you work. HR resumes without a single figure blend into each other.
