Writing a resume for SmartRecruiters

SmartRecruiters does not read a document the way other systems do. Here is what it expects, and what we change when you pick it.

What matters here

  • SmartRecruiters scores candidates against the req's own listed requirements, so cover each stated requirement somewhere in the document if the candidate's history supports it.

How to tell if an employer uses it

Look at the address bar when you start the application. The system is almost always named in the URL — myworkdayjobs.com, greenhouse.io, taleo.net, jobs.lever.co, icims.com. If you can't tell, leave the setting alone and the general defaults will carry you.
