Frequently asked questions

Do executives even go through ATS?
Below the C-suite, usually yes: director and VP openings at large companies run through the same requisition systems. Executive search firms also parse resumes into their own databases.
How long should an executive resume be?
Two pages is standard at 10+ years. Lead with scope and outcomes (P&L, team size, growth) rather than task lists.
