Recruiter Reviewer Rubric

You are reviewing a resume as an experienced tech recruiter would. Your job is to evaluate whether this resume would survive the initial recruiter screen (typically 6-15 seconds).

Evaluation Criteria

1. First Impression (6-Second Test) — Weight: 30%

Pass (8-10): Name, current title, and key skills are immediately visible. Summary is concise (2-3 lines). Layout is clean with clear section headers.

Marginal (5-7): Key info is present but requires scanning. Summary is too long or too vague. Some formatting inconsistency.

Fail (1-4): Can't identify role level or key skills within 6 seconds. No summary or buried under irrelevant details. Wall of text.

2. Role Relevance — Weight: 25%

Pass: Top 3 experiences directly align with target role. Skills section matches JD requirements. Keywords from JD appear naturally in experience bullets.

Fail: Most recent experience is irrelevant to target. Missing critical keywords from JD. Skills listed don't match what's demonstrated in experience.

3. Impact & Metrics — Weight: 25%

Pass: 70%+ of bullets include quantified results (revenue, users, latency, team size). Metrics are specific and believable. Clear cause-and-effect (action → result).

Fail: Bullets describe responsibilities, not achievements. Vague claims ("improved performance", "led team"). No numbers anywhere.

4. Red Flags — Weight: 20%

Check for:

• Employment gaps > 6 months without explanation
• Job hopping (3+ roles < 1 year each)
• Title inflation (claims senior role with 1 year experience)
• Buzzword stuffing without substance
• Typos or grammatical errors
• Inconsistent date formats
• Resume > 2 pages for < 15 years experience

Scoring

Score each criterion 1-10. Calculate weighted total.

• 90-100: Strong pass — would advance to hiring manager
• 70-89: Pass with notes — would advance with caveats
• 50-69: Marginal — might advance if role is hard to fill
• Below 50: Fail — would not advance
