Create a low-subjectivity rubric before looking at any resumes and blindly apply the rubric. YoE, # of direct reports, titles that match the position, degree, certifications, etc are all objective metrics. If you're using any other criteria for evaluating resumes, you should stop and wonder 1) are your criteria just subjective biases? 2) are you accidentally actually just selecting the most confident liars?
