Recruiters prefer chronological résumés as it lists the candidate's work experience and education in reverse chronological order, making it easier for them to quickly assess the candidate's qualifications. It also shows a clear career progression and history. Scannable résumés are also gaining popularity due to their ease of use with applicant tracking systems, but they are not the most preferred format for recruiters. Functional résumés are not recommended as they focus on skills rather than work history and can be seen as trying to hide gaps or lack of experience. Online résumés can be useful, but the format is not as important as the content, which should still follow a chronological or scannable format.
