Guide to making the perfect CV

Nethunting is Crearte Consulting’s speciality. We are a bridge between companies and their ideal candidates. We see many CVs every day, so we want to give you some tips as a guide to making a perfect CV that stands out. Although nowadays the value of social networks is undeniable to apply for a job, it is also important to have a CV that reflects your professional background in the best possible way. We give you the guidelines to make a perfect CV.

The first visual impact of your CV can be decisive.

You must be clear that the form you give to your CV is just as important as the content. Evaluators usually have little time to dedicate to each CV, so the first visual impact is decisive and must be positive. To achieve this, your CV should be clear and easy to read. You should choose easily legible fonts, such as Arial or Verdana, and use at most two colours. The photograph also says a lot about you, so take the time to choose it.

Start by including your contact information at the top of your CV. Include your name, slightly personalised or highlighted. Also, your email address, phone number, and your LinkedIn address and personal website if you have one. Other details such as your address, ID or marital status are not relevant and do not need to be included.

Next, you can add a brief introduction that summarises your professional experience and skills. This section should be concise and is the perfect opportunity to grab the reader’s attention.

Next, add a work experience section. Include each job you have held in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent, unless you are interested in highlighting one because of its relevance to the position. For each job, include the name of the company, the job title, the date you worked there and a brief description of your responsibilities and achievements. In this section, you can play around with different typographical devices, such as highlighting some words in bold or including some in capital letters.

Guía para hacer un currículum perfecto

Conciseness, clarity and sincerity

You should try to be very clear and concise when providing all the information, so take time to choose the right words. Sincerity is also important, so avoid bloating your CV and avoid superfluous information.

Next, add an education section. Include any degrees or certificates you have obtained, along with the name of the institution and the date you obtained them. If you have taken any courses or training that relate to the job, it is also worth including these.

You can then include any special skills or knowledge you have, such as computer skills or knowledge of a foreign language. English is an essential language for many jobs these days, and some companies will require you to present your CV directly in English.

Dedicate a small section to talk about your professional goals and values, making sure they are aligned with those of the company. Finally, add any other relevant information, such as professional awards or achievements, publications or membership in professional organisations.

Some additional tips for creating a perfect CV:

Be sure to carefully proofread your CV for spelling or grammatical errors before submitting it. It’s a good idea to have someone else review it to get an unbiased opinion.
Make sure your CV is easy to read and navigate. Use titles and headings to divide information into clear sections.
Customise your CV for each job you apply for. And include the most relevant skills and experience for each particular position.
As experts in Nethunting, at Crearte Consulting we analyse candidates’ CVs in detail before putting them in contact with companies.

The art of getting to know candidates beyond their CVs

At Crearte Consulting we define ourselves as passionate about Nethunting. We are experts in personnel recruitment through the Internet. Social networks, professional networks and job portals are ideal tools to put companies in contact with the candidates that best fit them. But to get to know the candidates and find the ideal one, you have to go much further than just analysing their CVs.

Your ideal candidate is on the Internet, we find him/her

In the digital age, it is becoming increasingly common for companies to search for candidates online. This is known as Nethunting or online talent hunting. It is a technique that consists of finding and attracting professionals through the use of digital tools.

But Nethunting goes beyond simply finding a candidate with a suitable profile. It is about getting to know the person beyond their CV. In other words, it allows us to get to know the skills, interests and professional objectives of a candidate more deeply and completely.

Nowadays, practically all companies use social networks to find out about their potential candidates. As a consultancy, we have created a method that meets two of today’s essential conditions: it is fast and effective.

To carry out effective Nethunting, it is important to use a wide variety of tools and techniques. Some of them can be:

  • Reviewing the candidate’s social media presence: their LinkedIn profile, their activity on Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, etc. This can give us an idea of their interests and how they relate to other professionals in their sector.
  • Check the candidate’s blogs or online publications: if the applicant has a blog or has published in any digital media, we can learn more about their opinions and knowledge in their field of expertise.
  • Do a Google search: sometimes a simple Google search can yield interesting results about the candidate, such as conferences they have attended or projects they have been involved in.
  • Use online assessment tools: some platforms offer skills and competency assessments to get to know a candidate better

Nethunting, a methodology adapted to today’s needs

Nethunting can also be described as a very useful technique to get to know candidates more deeply and find the perfect professional for a company. In addition, it saves time and resources in the search for candidates, as it can be done quickly and efficiently via the Internet. In addition to their qualifications, the candidate’s interests, personalities and tastes can also be relevant for some positions.

On the other hand, it is interesting to note that just as the company is looking for certain characteristics in the person who is going to fill the vacancy, it must also make the applicant feel attracted to it.

It is important to bear in mind that Nethunting is helped by face-to-face interviews or interviews via videoconference. We can still conduct face-to-face interviews to get to know the candidates better and make sure they fit the company culture.

Nowadays, social networks tell us a lot about people’s interests and way of life. That is why it is important to be careful about what you post, share and comment on the internet. Publications made on any social network can contribute to a good or bad image of yourself.

At Crearte Consulting we like challenges, that’s why we are committed to finding the right candidate for the position you need to fill in just seven days.

Qualities to consider in any candidate

As experts in Nethunting, at Crearte Consulting we specialise in being the bridge between companies and potential candidates. Our job is to find the ideal candidate for each position. To do this, we start from certain premises, with our method that helps us to provide a fully effective service. To begin with, we take into account some key points such as the dedication and philosophy of the company, the characteristics of the position to be filled and the duties

Qualities that companies look for in any candidate

As professionals in the search for suitable candidates, we are very clear that each position to be filled in a company requires that the person who fills it has particular knowledge, experience and qualities.

We look for a person who is the perfect fit for the position offered. However, several qualities are common and highly valued in all types of candidates.

These are also usually a criterion when choosing one candidate over another and, beyond the CV, they are usually appreciated in personal interviews and direct contact. Among others we can highlight:

Attitude and motivation

A positive attitude and strong motivation are essential for success in any job. A candidate who is enthusiastic about the job and has a proactive attitude is more likely to perform well.

Commitment

Most companies appreciate it when their employees are committed to the goals and needs of the company. A committed person will generally strive to do his or her best.

Communication

The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is essential in any job. A candidate who can express him/herself coherently and persuasively will be more successful in his/her position, as he/she will be better understood by superiors, colleagues and clients.

Teamwork

Many jobs require the ability to work in a team and collaborate with others. A candidate who can work effectively in a team will be a valuable addition to any company.

cualidades en cualquier candidato

Other qualities to value in any candidate

  • Adaptability: the ability to adapt to change and new situations is essential in today’s world of work. A candidate who can quickly familiarise themselves with new situations and responsibilities will be more successful in their position.
  • Problem-solving: the ability to solve problems effectively is essential in any job. A candidate who can analyse problems and find creative solutions will be a considerable asset to any company. In this respect, the ability to work under pressure, as there are often deadlines to meet or unforeseen events to deal with, can also be seen as a very positive asset.
  • Positive attitude and proactivity: these two qualities often go hand in hand. Positive people not only create a better working environment, but they are also more entrepreneurial and more likely to come up with good ideas.
  • Leadership: Although not all jobs require leadership, the ability to lead and motivate others is a valuable quality. An effective leader can guide and motivate his or her team to achieve common goals.
  • Empathy and emotional intelligence: putting yourself in someone else’s shoes helps you understand them better. Together with emotional intelligence, empathy is a perfect tool to create a pleasant and positive working environment in which the team feels at ease and stimulated.

As experts in Nethunting, at Crearte we not only find the best candidate for the vacancy you want to fill but also the one who will bring the most value to your company. This list of qualities in any candidate that companies are looking for can help you to know how to exploit your virtues and competencies in the selection process.

Advantages of online recruitment processes

As technology advances, so do personnel selection processes. At Crearte we are experts in Nethunting, which means that we use all the means available on the internet to find the ideal candidate for your company.

Online recruitment processes are an increasingly popular tool for recruiting personnel, and, as we will see below, they offer a series of significant advantages over traditional processes.

The Nethuntig and the online recruitment process

One of the main advantages of online recruitment processes is the ability to reach a much wider audience. Through social media, job websites, apps, etc., companies can reach a large number of potential candidates. On the other hand, online recruitment processes allow candidates to apply for jobs from anywhere in the world, which means that companies have access to a much wider and more diverse candidate base.

Another important advantage of online recruitment processes is the ability to automate certain recruitment tasks. For example, by using automated recruitment software, companies can save time in performing certain tasks such as reading CVs, taking tests or scoring answers. This means that a large number of applications can be reviewed in a much shorter time, allowing the best candidates to be identified more efficiently.

Online selection processes also offer greater transparency and objectivity in the selection of candidates. By using standardised tests and automated questionnaires, companies can evaluate candidates objectively and fairly. This helps ensure that the best candidates are selected, regardless of their background or previous experience.

A method that allows us to find the ideal candidates

At Crearte Consulting we are committed to Nethunting as a candidate selection process because we achieve:

  • Greater reach: Online selection processes allow companies to reach a much wider audience of candidates, both nationally and internationally.
  • Increased efficiency: The automation of selection tasks through the use of automated selection software allows a large number of applications to be verified in a much shorter time, which helps to identify the best candidates more efficiently.
  • Cost savings: Online recruitment processes allow companies to save significant costs compared to traditional processes, as there is no need to print and send CVs, or pay for printed advertisements.
  • Transparency and objectivity: Online recruitment processes allow candidates to be assessed objectively and fairly, which helps to ensure that the best candidates are selected regardless of more personal characteristics.
  • Speed: Online recruitment processes allow the best candidates to be selected and recruited much more quickly compared to traditional processes.
  • Some studies suggest that online selection processes can generate less bias and improve diversity in recruitment, as tools and techniques can be used to evaluate candidates more impartially.

However, at Crearte, as specialists in Nethunting, we are committed to a more complete selection method that involves conducting interviews, first online and then face-to-face between candidates and recruiters. The Crearte method!

Tips for concentrating while working

At Crearte Consulting we are specialists in Nethunting, that is, in being the bridge between the best candidates and companies. One of the keys to achieving excellence as a worker is to be able to concentrate fully on your work. Today we want to give you a series of tips to achieve this.

Tips to help you concentrate at work

Even if some of them seem textbook, it’s clear that they work. The idea is to find the one that suits you and put it into practice every day:

  • Set clear goals: Setting clear and achievable goals for your work and breaking down your tasks into small steps will help you achieve them more easily.
  • Eliminate distractions: A key thing is that you try to identify distractions in your environment and try to eliminate them. For example, the time you want to concentrate on completing a task, you can try turning off notifications on your phone and closing unrelated browser tabs.
  • Use meditation or breathing techniques: Meditation and deep breathing can help clear the mind and increase concentration levels.
  • Take regular breaks: These are essential for resting and clearing your mind. In fact, according to scientists, most people can only concentrate for a maximum of 20 minutes before they need to take a break.
  • Organise your workspace: Having an organised and clean workspace can help you feel like you have everything under control and are focused on your work.
  • Use a stopwatch: This can be useful for dividing time into work and break segments. This will help you to stay focused during work time and to rest properly during break time.
  • Avoid working in a noisy environment: Noise can be a big distraction and make it difficult to concentrate, try to work in a calm and quiet environment.
  • Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help improve concentration, memory and overall cognitive performance.
  • Don’t forget to rest: It is important to get adequate rest each night to maintain good cognitive and physical performance – don’t try to work too hard without enough rest.

Tools that can help you stay focused

Nowadays, technology can also help us concentrate better. You can use productivity tools such as a calendar, a to-do list or a time management app to help you stay focused and meet your goals.

Some productivity apps can help improve concentration and productivity while working. Some of them are:

  • RescueTime: An app that tracks the time you spend on different apps and websites, and gives you a daily report on how you’ve spent it.
  • Focus@Will: This offers background music specifically designed to help you focus and increase productivity.
  • Todoist: A to-do list app that helps you organise your tasks and projects, and allows you to set deadlines and reminders.
  • Forest: This app allows you to plant a virtual tree when you are concentrating and working, and if you get distracted and leave the app, your virtual tree dies.
  • Cold Turkey: Allows you to temporarily block certain distracting apps and websites, so you can concentrate on your work.
  • Focus To-Do: An application based on the Pomodoro technique, it helps to divide work into short periods of focus and rest, which are repeated several times throughout the day.
  • StayFocusd: A Chrome extension that allows you to limit the time you spend on specific websites.
  • SelfControl: Mac app that allows you to temporarily block certain websites, emails and notifications, so you can concentrate on your work.

It is important to try different applications and find the ones that best suit your personal needs and preferences. Everyone may have different ways of staying inspired and focused on their work.

As experts in Nethunting, at Crearte Consulting we also seek to provide inspiring elements that help companies and candidates to achieve their business goals in the most appropriate way possible. 

Why do we advocate Nethunting?

abogamos por el nethunting

At Crearte Consulting we advocate Nethunting. This is because we have understood the need and importance of adapting to modern times, and the way of attracting talent has changed.

We work to find the best professional profiles as quickly as possible.

The term Nethunting is a mixture of two English concepts: network, which is working through the internet, and headhunting, which can be translated as headhunting. Nowadays, practically anyone who is looking for a job knows that they must have a presence on the Internet. Social networks are a perfect formula to connect talents with companies, and net hunters are the ideal bridge between these two extremes.

Nethunting: the art of finding the ideal candidate

Well-prepared candidates are a rising value for companies, which have to create specific campaigns to find those who fit the positions they need to fill. The Internet is an ideal space for everyone to showcase their talents and professional qualities, as well as their experience.

Social networks such as LinkedIn or other specialised networks become a mine to find just the right person. We cannot lose sight of the fact that, with the evolution of the labour market, new professional profiles are also emerging that we need to know how to recognise.

However, Nethunting goes much further than simply scouring the web; it is a job in which a complex strategy must be developed to ensure that the candidate fits 100% with the needs and philosophy of the company. In this sense it is about:

  • Tracking the digital footprint of candidates. In other words, analysing who they are, what their training is, and what their interests are. And, of course, finding a suitable means of contact.
  • The more contacts and valuable information the nethunter provides, the more possibilities he/she will have in his/her search work.
  • Going far beyond the candidates’ CVs is to analyse their digital reputation. The best candidate is not the one who has the most training or experience, but the one who has the most experience knows how to adapt to working in a team and has values that are aligned with those of the company.
  • Knowing how to show all the attractions and strong points of a job offer and company. We must not forget that the best talent will often be working in competing companies or other areas, and to attract them they must appreciate the advantages that the new company can offer them.
abogamos por el nethunting

At Crearte we find the right candidate in only 7 days.

The reasons why we advocate Nethunting are represented in its advantages:

  • It is a perfect support for the HR department, as it allows them to select among very specific candidates.
  • Especially when it comes to finding profiles for positions of responsibility, it is the best option.
  • We put companies in direct contact with the candidates best suited to the vacancy.
  • The research work that took days or weeks in the analogue world can be done in hours in the digital world.

At Crearte Consulting we have designed a Nethunting working method that is constantly evolving to adapt to technological and digital improvements. It is a very agile model both in the search and in the selection and recruiting phase and allows us to guarantee that we can find the ideal candidate for the position you need to fill in just seven days.

As a guarantee, we work with invoicing models that are based on objectives met. The keys that define us are speed and agility, quality, innovation capacity, professionalism and transparency. Would you like to try it?

What is online reputation?

At Crearte Consulting we understand very well the importance of having a good online reputation. Just as in the real world, the image you project in the digital world is very important. Our expert recruiting net hunters give us some guidelines today.

We can say that online reputation has become a crucial factor in the image of people, companies and brands. It refers to the perception that users have of a person or company online, and is the result of the interaction of these users with the content published by the person or company in question.

How online reputation is created

Online reputation is built from information that is shared online, including social media posts, comments on forums and blogs, and reviews and ratings of products or services, among others.

This information is available at all times to anyone searching for information about a person or company on the Internet and can be a determining factor in decision-making. Online reputation can be positive or negative.

For businesses, online reputation is particularly important, as it can influence the purchasing decision, trust, credibility and loyalty of potential customers. A bad online reputation can lead to the loss of customers and, ultimately, to the bankruptcy of the company. On the other hand, a good online reputation can lead to increased sales and customer loyalty.

For this reason, many companies have started to pay more attention to their online reputation and have invested resources in online reputation management. This includes constantly monitoring information posted online, responding quickly and effectively to negative comments and implementing strategies to improve the online image.

However, online reputation is not only critical for companies and brands but also for individuals. We cannot ignore the fact that the information we share online can be seen by anyone, anywhere in the world. And this is something that can have important consequences in our personal and professional lives. One bad online comment or off-colour remark can affect how others perceive us and hinder our ability to get a job or do business.

The digital reputation of candidates

It is crucial that people also care about their online reputation and take steps to protect and enhance it. To assess your online reputation you can start with the simple gesture of Googling your name and social media and looking at the information you get.

Analyse the image you project and think about what steps you can take to improve it. Don’t forget to be careful about what you post online, respond effectively to negative comments and look for strategies to improve your image.

Having a good online presence is something that many businesses value. So don’t hesitate to update the content you post on your social networks. You can grow your reach by diversifying the channels on which you post. Empathy, transparency and professionalism are important qualities that will help your digital image.

Different types of tools such as Google Alerts, Social Lies or Brandwatch can help you measure your online reputation. You must try to create strategies that allow your digital image to enhance your strengths so that you can differentiate yourself and build trust with potential employers.

Assessing the online reputation of candidates is one of the tasks that we usually carry out at Crearte Consulting as part of our Net hunting strategy so that it does not represent a point against you in the selection processes that we carry out for companies.

The importance of teamwork

trabajar en equipo

As expert net hunters, at Crearte we are very aware of the evolution of the job skills most in demand by companies. One of the most relevant is the ability to work in a team, something that not only influences an increase in productivity but also in achieving a good working environment.

Nowadays, teamwork is a valued skill and is considered essential for many industries. The ability to work with others to achieve a common goal is fundamental to both individual and collective success. 

Teamwork is a process in which a group of people collaborate to achieve a common goal. Each member involved contributes his or her particular skills, knowledge and experience to achieve a more effective result.

Teamwork processes require clear communication, careful planning and a focus on the common goal, as well as a willingness to listen and learn from each other. This method of working can be applied to a wide variety of contexts, from business projects to sports teams and community groups.

What are the advantages of teamwork?

Among the advantages of working in a team we can point out:

  • Division of tasks and improved efficiency: When working in a team, tasks can be divided among members, allowing each member to focus on what he or she is strongest and most efficient at. In addition, collaboration allows projects to be completed more quickly, which in turn increases the overall efficiency of the team.
  • Increased creativity and innovation: Teamwork allows for collaboration and the exchange of ideas between different members, which can lead to more creative and innovative solutions. When working in a team, people can learn from their colleagues and apply that knowledge to their projects, which can boost creativity and personal innovation.
  • More motivated employees: When working in a team, employees gain a sense of community and mutual support. This improves morale and motivation, which in turn leads to better performance and greater job satisfaction.
  • Increased accountability: By working in a team, members can feel a greater sense of responsibility and accountability to each other. This can help ensure that everyone accomplishes their tasks, thus increasing efficiency and success.

What qualities do the best team players have

As net hunters, we analyse many professional profiles, so it is clear to us that the people who work best in a team tend to have the following qualities:

  • Effective communication: they can listen, express themselves clearly and resolve conflicts constructively.
  • Collaboration: they are willing to work together and share responsibilities to achieve a common goal.
  • Flexibility: they can adapt to change and work with different personalities and working styles.
  • Responsibility: they fulfil their tasks and feel responsible for the success of the team.
  • Respect: they treat their teammates with respect and consideration, and value their contribution.
  • Openness to diversity: they value and accept diversity and are willing to learn from their colleagues.
  • Focus on purpose: they have a clear vision of the team’s purpose and are committed to it.

These qualities are important for successful teamwork, as they help to foster a positive and collaborative work environment, where all members can contribute and grow together.

However, from Crearte, as net hunters, we want to highlight that we all can improve these skills and strengthen ourselves as team workers.
