I need to hire a person to replace me in my current role so I'm working with an in-house HR Recruiter.
In our HR system, I got a couple of resumes submitted via employee referrals. Those were either entered in the system correctly or sent to me via Email. Those all included a MS Word, or PDF resume and were all human readable.
The HR Recruiter sent me all the resumes to review for phone screening however, for outside applicants, I only received a screen shot of some embedded HTML gobbledygook. So now I've got to go back and see if I can find the Resumes submitted by applicants because the machine readable crap that the system spit out is unreadable by me.
For several of the applicants, it looks like they have submitted either a Resume, Cover Letter, or both in PDF or Word format.
I know a lot of HR systems have you fill out an application online and you can submit that. Do that but, please follow up with a human readable PDF in case the computer code that comes out of the system is garbage.
