I've recently moved from sales to tech recruiting. Over the past few years, I've gotten pretty good at recognizing what are the key things to look for among sales candidates (SDRs, BDRs and AEs). Sales is somewhat similar to recruiting at the end of the day.

Tech is a whole different space. How are you all discerning positive signals and red flags?

For now, I'm mostly matching up titles, languages and frameworks we use as well as company size/reputation, but I'm curious if others have a better process or system?

I'm also running into a lot of fake candidates. Like fake experience, LinkedIn and things like that. Once you hop on a call, things start to fall apart. Like a person with a Hispanic name turns out to be a Chinese dude.

I'm curious how recruiters review technical resumes especially those of software engineers.

What do you look for? What are positive signals? What are red flags?
