What 39,878 employers told ManpowerGroup
62% of employers hiring now say the job has changed. Does your résumé show you changed with it?

Recruiters are hiring for new skills and searching for them in their own words. A résumé written for last year's version of your job competes for about one opening in three. We rewrite it around the skills your role has moved to, and put the same words on your LinkedIn and job portals so their searches land on you.
