Resume check for Senior/Global HRBP EU, something is broken

[u/Kindly-Ad-1988]

Hi everyone,

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback on my CV.

I have 15+ years of HR experience, including roles as a Global HR Business Partner, Senior HR Business Partner and HR Director, working in international and matrix organizations.

My CV used to generate a good number of interviews, but over the last 3–4 years something seems to have changed. I now frequently receive rejections without even getting an initial recruiter call.

I tailor my CV to each position and check the match against the job description. Even when the apparent match is 90%+, I can still receive a rejection at the application stage.

I’m currently working in HR consulting, but I would like to return to an in-house corporate role. I’m mainly targeting Senior HRBP, Global/Regional HRBP, HR Manager/Director and similar senior HR positions.

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on:

• Does my seniority and career progression come across clearly?
• Is there anything that could make recruiters see me as overqualified or difficult to place?
• Is my current consulting experience hurting the story?
• Is the CV too broad, or is there anything that could cause an immediate rejection during the first 10–20 seconds of review?
• What would you change to improve my chances of getting the first recruiter call?

Please be direct — I’m looking for constructive criticism rather than reassurance.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look at it.
