FAQ

 

Q: Why should I use ResumeArrow.com?

A: ResumeArrow is one of the best ways to get in front of many recruiters at once.  In the past, job seekers who wanted to reach lots of recruiters would send their resume by mail which is costly and time consuming.  ResumeArrow lets job seekers reach recruiters quickly, inexpensively and effectively.  By getting your resume into a recruiter's e-mail inbox, the recruiter sees your resume right away and often recruiters will take action immediately and respond with an inquiry for further information or even a job opportunity.

Q: Can I keep my current employer from receiving my resume?

A: Because third party recruiters are signed up for our service, it is not possible to block certain employers from receiving your resume.  Recruiters generally work with many employers so it would not be practical for us to ask the recruiters not to share certain resumes with certain employers.

Q: What kind of results can I expect?

A: Results vary, and depend mainly on your work history, education, salary, and geographic requirements. Recruiters typically respond right away to resumes that appear to match a current open position that they're working on filling.  If they don't have any positions that match at the moment, most recruiters will add your resume to a database that they'll search for future job openings.  Keep in mind most recruiters work on up to 10 open positions at a time. For example, if your resume is sent to 1,000 recruiters, you could be considered for up to 10,000 jobs!
