Key Frameworks and Processes

HeadHunter Recruitment Modes

Passive Recruitment: Employers post vacancies and wait for applications. Due to a high volume of responses (e.g., 500–2000 per vacancy), standing out is difficult.
Active Recruitment: Employers pay to search resumes directly using keyword queries, paying for access (e.g., 5,500 rubles/day for 80 contacts). This method demands higher resume relevance and quality.

Resume Ranking Factors on HeadHunter

Skill Match Percentage: Resumes are ranked by how well their listed skills match the vacancy’s required skills (e.g., 100%, 78%, 68%).
Confirmed Skills and Badges: Passing tests and confirming skills adds badges that boost ranking.
Keyword Frequency and Placement: The number of times keywords appear in the resume—especially in the title and position fields—significantly impacts ranking.
Experience Length: Years of relevant experience also influence sorting.

Resume SEO Playbook

Use a data-driven approach to identify high-frequency key skills recruiters seek.
Incorporate these skills naturally and extensively in the resume—up to 30 key skills recommended.
Place keywords strategically in:
- Resume title (highest weight).
- Position name and description.
- Skills section and “About Me”.
- Certificates, tests, and external links (e.g., GitHub repo names containing key skills).
Avoid keyword stuffing that looks like spam but ensure repetition where synonyms exist (e.g., “Django” and “Django Framework”).
Confirm skills via platform tests to earn badges, improving recruiter trust and ranking.

Tools and Resources

The presenter created EasyOffer, a website that aggregates and ranks key skills from multiple vacancies by profession. This helps candidates select the most relevant and frequently searched skills to add to their resumes.

Key Metrics and Targets

Resume ranking examples:
- 1 for “Python Django” among 133,000 resumes.
- 4 for “Python Jango.”
Employers pay approximately 5,500 rubles/day for active search access with limited contact views (e.g., 80 contacts/day).
Target: Include up to 30 relevant key skills per resume.
Keyword mentions example: “Python” mentioned 26 times in the resume to boost relevance.

Concrete Examples and Recommendations

Resume example keywords: Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Framework, SQL.
GitHub repository names can be used as keyword signals (e.g., naming repos after skills like “React”).
Confirm skills with tests to earn badges.
Use EasyOffer to identify skill demand trends and tailor resumes accordingly.
Place keywords in the title for higher SEO impact.
Repeat keywords with slight variations to cover different recruiter search habits.
Maintain natural language and avoid spammy keyword stuffing.

Use active recruitment strategies by optimizing resumes for search queries rather than relying solely on passive vacancy applications.
Research and include high-frequency skills using tools like EasyOffer.
Strategically place keywords in multiple resume sections, prioritizing titles and positions.
Confirm skills via tests to gain badges and improve credibility.
