Why the Resume Is Dying and AES Is the Future of Hiring

For decades, resumes have been the linchpin of the job hunt. That simple piece of paper aimed to encapsulate your professional story, skills and qualifications into a few pages. However, the traditional resume is no longer cutting it in today’s rapidly evolving job landscape. Why the Resume Is Dying and AES Is the Future of Hiring.

Here are three key reasons why resumes are becoming obsolete relics of a bygone era:

1. Limited Candidate Insight – A flat resume can’t convey the full essence of a person – their personality, problem-solving abilities, or leadership potential. As Keith Fox, CEO of Alexander Executive Search puts it, “A candidate’s resume writing skills don’t necessarily reflect their ability to perform the actual work.”
2. Poor Evaluation of Soft Skills – Resumes struggle to highlight vital soft skills like communication, teamwork and adaptability that are crucial for success. These intangible strengths are difficult to encapsulate on paper.
3. Lack of Inclusivity – By over-indexing on rigid credentials and job titles, resumes promote a narrow hiring philosophy out of step with modern diversity and inclusion principles. Top talent is often overlooked due to résumé screening biases.
