Winning Attention When Seventy Nine Percent of Recruiters Read Portfolios First
LinkedIn’s Future of Recruiting report for 2024 revealed a shift every modern professional should pay attention to. Seventy nine percent of hiring teams now open a candidate’s narrative assets before deciding whether to schedule a first call. That one number changes everything. Your resume is no longer the first stop. It is only one part of a wider story. Recruiters want proof of progression, context, and a living narrative that shows how you operate across roles, markets, and mediums.
Resumes matter, but they cannot carry your entire identity anymore. A single page document cannot represent a career shaped by different industries, different responsibilities, and different strengths. Recruiters want clarity on why you made certain decisions, how you think, and how your work translates into the role they need to fill now.
This is why narrative assets are becoming the deciding factor. Portfolios, case write ups, short reflections, and tailored profiles show how your experience actually works in practice. These assets convince reviewers faster than any timeline can.
What this statistic means for people with multi layered careers
You need clarity, not just chronology
A straight timeline hides the context behind each shift. Recruiters look for the reasoning behind your decisions and the consistency behind your contributions. Portfolios reveal what a resume cannot.
Speed of understanding matters
Hiring teams skim through ten to twenty candidates in a single session. You stand out when your portfolio is already organized by role, language, and outcomes. The easier it is to understand your story, the more likely you are to move forward.
Consistency wins over novelty
A scattered mix of documents makes evaluation harder. You want a clean and stable structure that delivers the same type of information every time. When formatting and metadata stay consistent, your story feels stronger and more credible.
This mirrors how high performing teams evaluate internal talent. People who communicate clearly and consistently rise faster. Tadween turns that pattern into a repeatable workflow.
