E137 - Current & Critical - Allie Knull, How Resumes are Killing your Recruiting Process
“There’s lots of things that we glaze over when it comes to choosing the best people because of what they’ve done in the past, not with the potential that they have.”
You can learn a lot about someone based on their resume. Where they’ve worked, what they’ve learned, and what they’ve accomplished. That information is important for hirers, but for Allie, a recruitment and HR professional, something equally if not more important is often missing – a candidate’s potential. To solve that problem, Allie launched ResumeFree™, an online screening tool that connects candidates and employers based on traits and metrics that aren't found on a resume.
Join me as Allie shares her take on Alberta’s start-up community, the resources she used to bring her idea to life, and why the traditional resume has become antiquated in the age of digital and social networking.
