Are These Resume Red Flags Actually Red Flags?

The Growing your Team Podcast: Episode 267

Resumes are the gatekeepers to finding your perfect-fit employee. You’ll use that document to determine who you will interview and who is a quick no. To help quickly sort candidates into the no pile, most people will start by looking for resume red flags – items that show a candidate might not be the quality worker they want. 

But are all common resume red flags really an accurate indicator that someone will be a bad hire? No. Some common red flags are not red flags at all, and some are just signs of things that should be discussed during an interview instead of a disqualifier. 

In this episode of the Growing Your Team podcast, we’re breaking down the most common resume red flags and challenging you to rethink whether they might actually be causing you to overlook talented, qualified employees.
