7 Must-Haves in your Data Science CV

Managing Riskified's Data Science department entails a lot of recruiting -- we've more than doubled in less than a year-and-a-half. As the hiring manager for several of the positions, I also read through a lot of CVs. Recruiters screen through a CV in 7.4 seconds, and after recruiting for several years my average time is pretty fast, but not that extreme. In this blog, I'm going to walk you through my personal heuristics ('cheats') that help me screen a resume. While I can't guarantee that others use the same heuristics, and different roles will differ in the importance of each point, paying attention to these points can help you conquer the CV screen stage.
