Until it is recorded, the written steps below are complete on their own.
Steps
- Attestation: the candidate states that their source resume content is true and theirs.
- Tailoring: the relevant parts of that attested content are reworded and reordered for one specific job order.
- Verification: the client facing resume is checked against the version of the attested source resume it came from.
- Explain it to your client in those terms when you send the link.
Worth knowing
- Say candidate attested, not verified candidate. Say verified against the candidate's attested source resume, not independently verified experience.
- TraceScout does not confirm employment history, qualifications or skills with third parties.
- This is what your client link is worth: a traceable line between what the candidate stated and what the client read.
