What recruiters look for in a BI Developer resume
- Title-match in the first 6 seconds. The summary and most-recent job title should both read "BI Developer". Recruiters skim top-to-bottom and bail when titles don't line up.
- Quantified bullets, every line. Every BI Developer bullet should carry a number: a percentage, a dollar figure, a count, or a duration. Bullets without numbers get read as "participated in" not "shipped".
- Show depth, not just breadth. Two skills used deeply (Power BI / Tableau / Looker, data modelling) beat ten skills listed shallowly. ATS scoring rewards depth signals.
- Keep it to one page through 8 years, two pages after. BI Developer hiring managers want signal density. Filler hurts more than helps.
