When you layer on top of that the realisation that there’s no correlation – none – between what’s in the résumé and how well people will perform or how long they will stay, you have to concede that relying on a résumé to help you find the right candidate gives you about the same odds as buying a lottery ticket. The difference is that getting it wrong costs your business a whole lot more that the buck you spent on the ticket.
