The Tech Recruiter Intel Series: Tip #2 - Be RELEVANT

Relevance Is Your Superpower

Here’s something recruiters made very clear: they’re not just scanning for good candidates. They’re scanning for relevant ones.

Help recruiters quickly see that you’re a perfect fit.

In a sea of strong resumes, the folks who make it to the next round are the ones who feel tailored to the specific role.

You might be amazing - but if it’s not clear how your background maps to the job? You’re out.

🎯 Here’s how to quickly show them you’re a fit:

• Match your resume title and LinkedIn headline to the role you want. Not just "Product Manager” - say "Senior Product Manager | AI & B2B SaaS"

• Use keywords straight from the job description. If they say "cross-functional collaboration" and "roadmapping," those words should appear in your resume.

• Highlight projects that solve the same kind of problems this role is focused on. Even better? Quantify your impact.

👉 Every line you include is a choice. Choose relevance.

It’s a risk to include irrelevant details, so don’t. Less is more.
