3 Things Recruiters Expect to See On Your CV

September 9, 2026

First up is relevant experience 

 

Look at the required experience the employer is asking for and If you tick all those boxes , make sure it’s clearly shown on your CV.

And most importantly — tailor your CV to that specific role 

 

You can even go the extra mile by showcasing evidence of the impact you made in your previous role 

 

You also want clear skills and qualifications on your CV

 

This means:

-Core technical skills

-Soft skills that are relevant to the job 

-Any relevant certifications, degrees or training 

 

Lastly you want your CV to be simple

 

Simple formatting makes the important information stand out 

 

A professional CV includes:

 

-Dates 

-Bullet points 

-Same font across the whole page

-No spelling or grammar mistakes 

 

You could be the ideal candidate for the role but things like long paragraphs , photographs and irrelevant information could prevent recruiters seeing the important information

 

Your CV doesn’t need to be fancy – it needs to be easy for a recruiter to see why you’re right for the role
