Preptel Increases Job Fit Rating by 30 Percentage Points

After analyzing thousands of job seeker résumés, we found the average job fit rating is 12%, while the average Preptel job fit rating is over 40%.

In our study, we analyzed all types of jobs at all levels of employment, including: executives, managers, directors, and entry-level positions. We found the average job seeker does not tailor their résumé and in most cases, does not know how to tailor their résumé effectively. With Preptel, users had a job fit rating of over 40% on average. This is a 30 percentage point increase. In addition, the top quartile of job fit ratings ranged from 30%-100% for job seekers where Preptel users ranged from 60%-100% match to the job.

 

What does this mean?

When applying for jobs, customizing your résumé is one of the most important opportunities a job seeker has. For those who are customizing their résumé, they are getting job interviews at a higher rate than those who think a single résumé will work.  In our analysis, those who received a 70% job fit rating or higher, were interviewed 60% of the time.  This means out of every two applications, they are getting at least one interview.

 

Why?

Hiring companies are looking for qualified people and each job description contains the skills and capabilities desired. The applicant who customizes their résumé to showcase those skills stands out in a heard of low or, as our data suggests, very low job fit rating candidates.

Preptel makes customizing your résumé to each job fast and easy. It identifies keywords required to showcase your qualities for the job. With an increase of 300%, Preptel candidates stand above the crowd.
