# HR Manager Resume

Templates optimized for HR roles at Indian companies. Highlight recruitment metrics, employee engagement, and compliance expertise.

## Key Points

- Fancy resume designs are exactly what your own hiring process rejects. Practice what you preach.
- A resume with a professional photo sends the wrong message about bias-free hiring.
- Multi-column layouts that you'd reject as a recruiter are the same ones you shouldn't use yourself.

- Recruitment metrics: time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, offer acceptance rate

- Employee engagement scores and retention improvements
- Compliance and labor law knowledge
- Training programs designed and their impact

SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, and Darwinbox are most valued in India. Also mention ATS tools like Greenhouse or Lever.
