A recruiter-friendly CV makes relevance, results, and fit easy to see quickly.

Clarity wins first

Recruiters often scan quickly, so a strong CV makes the most relevant information easy to find. The headline, summary, recent roles, and key achievements should all point toward the target job.

A CV does not need to include everything you have ever done. It needs to show why you are a credible match for this role.

Results over duties

Duties explain what you were assigned. Results explain what changed because you were there. Use numbers, scope, outcomes, or clear before-and-after examples whenever possible.

Even simple metrics, such as time saved or volume handled, can make experience more concrete.

Make fit obvious

Mirror the language of the job description where it is truthful. Recruiters should not have to translate your experience for you.
