How to write a sourcer resume
- One column, standard headings. Summary, Skills, Experience, Education: screening software reads these in order; tables, icons and two columns can come out scrambled.
- Every line: action, tool, result. “Built a churn dashboard in Tableau from SQL data; weekly reporting went from two days to one hour.” A verb first, the tool the posting names, one number.
- Send it as a PDF unless the form asks for Word. Name the file with your name and the role.
Check it before you send: the resume checker and the match against a posting.
