How to quickly assess prospectiveness of a candidate based on his CV? [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I am working on a href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/project">project for a dashboard and from UX perspective I would like a feature where HR managers could make a quick and rough estimate of a new candidate by giving him "marks" in certain fields like: Work experience, Knowledge of the field etc. so other href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/users">users of the dashboard could later href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/filter">filter candidates in the table by href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/average">average of all the marks. I would like to know if there are some universal metrics for quickly assessing how talented and worth hiring candidate is or any applicable ones, it doesn't have to necessary 100% precise, just a rough estimate of talent also it should be mostly things that can be found in CV as main part of href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/users">users are sourcing specialist. I am looking for around 5-7 metrics. Any help appreciated!

You can't judge talent from a CV. You can barely even judge talent from talking with people for a few hours. That's what makes hiring people so hard.

Also, if a universal metric existed, it would be gamed to the max by anyone looking for a job. It's half the reason people list buzzwords and technologies they once completed a tutorial for on their CV, because they know electronic systems are looking for those words.

Also also, "work experience" and "knowledge of the field" cannot be meaningfully condensed to a number. They are not scalars.
