For hiring managers, getting your recruitment metrics right when hiring testing talent to fit into a specific job role can be tricky. You need to streamline the procedure by setting certain benchmarks to select the fitting talent.

As applicants, on the other hand, you must be aware of the factors that recruiters consider when they read your resume, your approach towards logical reasoning and your ability to communicate your testing knowledge confidently.

They also highlight the particular areas a candidate must be vigilant about to be deemed suitable for the job.
