Hiring

Interest and timely advice for job-seekers from Richard Alberg at his blog site here.
Whilst I totally agree with the sentiment, I wonder how much effort is actually expended by recruitment consultants, HR people and hiring managers in reading CVs …and I mean really reading, as opposed to scanning for keywords that appeared on the job spec.
I read a lot of advice for job-seekers intended to improve the way they present themselves to prospective employers, but rarely read advice for people whose job it is to read CVs and evaluate those that make the ‘yes’ pile.
Where does the greater responsibility lie – with the candidate or with the employer?
