The resume and cover letter are the two historical pillars of the job market. While the cover letter has already been put aside by a large number of companies, the relevance of the resume is also being questioned by a growing number of organizations. To substitute for it, a new practice is emerging: recruitment without resume.
There are several methods for recruiting without a resume, and in this article we have chosen to focus on 5 solutions that facilitate this practice. These are mainly assessment tools to help you detect your candidates' skills.
However, it should be noted that recruiting without a resume does not mean without an interview or exchange with the candidate (on the contrary). Similarly, recruitment without a resume is not necessarily compatible with all professions, some requiring very specific technical skills.
Finally, it is important to keep in mind that the tools presented are decision-making and employee integration aids and are not intended to select candidates for companies.
Let us now discuss these different tools to help you recruit without a resume. They are listed in alphabetical order.

Conclusion
Recruiting a candidate solely based on their resume is no longer mandatory for a considerable number of professions. Decision-making tools now exist to shed light on applicants' soft skills, personality, and technical skills, and these solutions can be of great assistance in tackling many recruitment issues.
Regarding pricing, these solutions operate under various models (subscription, unit evaluation sales, cost per user, etc.). With the high cost of recruitment errors, investing in support solutions to further secure your recruitment process is undoubtedly a wise decision.
Finally, if you choose to recruit without resumes, you must ensure that human relationships remain a priority. These complementary tools are not intended to reduce your time spent interacting and interviewing candidates.
