Beyond Resumes: What Really Wins Talent Today?

I’m Noel O Kingsley, a Career Sourcing Specialist focused on helping professionals grow and guiding organizations to connect with the right people faster.

I’ve been reflecting on how much emphasis we still place on resumes and keywords, when in reality, the best hires often come from qualities you can’t capture on paper, adaptability, cultural fit, and problem-solving under pressure.

👉 I’m curious:

When you’re evaluating candidates, what qualities or signals matter most to you beyond the resume?

And how do you spot them early in the process?

Excited to hear your insights, this community is full of brilliant perspectives, and I know this could be a game-changer discussion.
