It's hard to gauge a person's qualities from a resume. Things like culture fit (extremely important IMO), fast thinker, quick learner - are all aspects that can't be garnered from a resume. IMO, resumes are only a decent filter for experience, and provides a baseline for the interview.
There are many I've interviewed that padded their resumes and said they are experienced in something they really aren't, and there are some who dont have much experience but are smart and quick learners.
Without a resume, what else can we go with when it comes to hiring? In my career, the best hires have always been from two sources:
- someone i've worked with and trust before
- someone who was recommended by someone i worked with and trust before
