Abstract

To achieve the objectives of the study،  the researcher used the descriptive survey method. The data were obtained from a random sample (115) respondents of recruitment managers،  and human resources staff in the directorates of Al- Laith province. Respondents found that the new content was useful and that new information on applicants' personalities and their evaluation added value when compared to a traditional resume.
