How Recruiters Shortlist Campus Candidates at Top MNCs

The campus recruitment process in India is a funnel. Out of 10,000 applicants, only 100 get offers. Here is how they filter you out.

Phase 1: The Automated Filter

Before a human even opens your file, the ATS removes everyone below a certain score. This usually cuts 70% of the applicants.

Phase 2: The 6-Second Scan

A junior recruiter looks at the remaining resumes. They look for college names, CGPA, and specific project impact. If they don't see numbers (e.g., 90% accuracy, 20% faster), they move on.

Phase 3: Technical Vetting

Senior engineers review the finalists to see if the projects are real. This is where your 'Skills Gaps' on PlacementScore.online become critical to fix.
