[quote=Anonymous]Not the OP or recruiter but someone who's both interviewed and hired at a F500, do have a few comments:

1. Can confirm it takes 2-3 months from job advert to onboarding. Everyone complains about how long it is but it's really due to having multiple interviews, multiple interviewers and getting the schedules down. Then sometimes the JD changes due to new priorities. Then getting the offer approvals. People are always on PTO or busy with other work.

2. The comment about TNR surprised me, I wouldn't have cared if I saw it on a resume but do agree Arial is the way to go. Clean and simple.

3. There are a lot of vagaries affecting how people are hired. Will say my two best hires were people who'd reached out to someone on the team on LinkedIn and they in turn alerted me and it made me take a second look at their resume. And it stood out in a way it didn't before. The unfortunate reality is when I'm busy, there's a stack of resumes from the recruiter, it's easy to gloss over them and nitpick. The people who reached out on LinkedIn were suddenly more real. They got prioritized. Note that their resumes did have all the qualifications we needed.

4. Because there's so many vagaries in hiring, you need to keep applying and never assume anything.
