Resumes Don't Tell the Whole Story: How a Job Application Fills in the Gaps for Smarter Hiring According to a recent HRdirect Small Business Hiring Practices Survey, only 21% of small businesses require applicants to complete forms to get hired.

Here's why: Slick resumes may immediately grab your attention, but these may not present the entire picture about your applicants.
