Hi
There is no hard and fast rules on this one. Depending on the job position a HR Manager may take anything between a few seconds to about 10 mins scanning through the resume. For example for front line employees where the number of applicant is usually higher, a resume may not get an audience of more than 10 secs. However for senior positions where competencies are varied and critical, the resume could get a "look in" of longer time.
Most recruiters shall look at the competencies or skill sets and then analyse their validity through conscious and subconscious validation methods.
Hope this helps

Hi Kani,
It entirely depends on the presentability and language to decide the time taken for a HR professional to study the resume. If both are good, it will definitely spark the interest to allot more time to go through the resume. If a resume is shabby with more spelling blunders and irrelevant stuff, it goes straight to the dustbin.

Usually when the resumes received are a large number, first the HR Manager sorts the resumes comparing them against the minimum expected levels of JD (Job Description) and JS (Job specification), this happens especially in large organizations. Hence this is given much importance. And to add to this the layout of the resume is an eye catcher and much elaborated resumes does not register as appealing!!
