Where the numbers in a resume like this come from

The figures above are made up, but each is a kind of number you can look up. Before you put one on your resume, find it in one of these places. If you cannot, describe the scope instead.

NumberWhere to find it
Attrition (voluntary, regretted)HRMS reports. State the period and the group.
Time to hire and offer acceptanceATS reports.
Cycle completion and engagement scoresThe performance tool and survey platform.
ComplianceFiling records and audit reports. Write "no findings" only if an audit said so.

Adapting this example

  • Generalist roles in smaller companies: lead with breadth (payroll, compliance, hiring, policy) and the headcount you supported.
  • Talent acquisition roles: move hiring metrics to the top and add channels and tools.
  • Never include employee names or case details. Describe volume and process only.
  • Global HRBP roles: add the countries you supported and the employment rules you worked within.
