FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Should I include company headcount on my CV?

Yes, always. HR in a 20-person startup and a 2,000-person enterprise are completely different jobs, and recruiters need that context fast.

How do I show soft skills without sounding generic?

Don't list them. Bake them into bullets: a conflict you mediated, an offer you negotiated, a difficult exit interview. Actions read stronger than adjectives.

Are SHRM or CIPD certifications worth mentioning?

Definitely, especially if you're targeting international companies. Put them in a dedicated certifications block rather than the headline area.

Do I need to mention specific HRIS tools?

Yes. Recruiters and ATS scanners both look for tool names like BambooHR, Workday, or Greenhouse. Spell out which ones you've actually used end to end.
