Hiring managers: What do you read on a resume?

Do you only look for the portfolio URL?

Is a bulleted list helpful if you’ve never heard of the agencies?

Do you truly care about software skills?

When hiring I personally look at mainly portfolio and software skills when initially receiving resume and that’s what filters who I reach out for a phone interview. Then in the call is when I really get the background/experience. That then informs me who to bring in for in office interview

Portfolio mostly. It’s assumed you have the right software skills/knowledge to do your job

My wife and I are considering relocating to a new city. I’ve been working with a recruiter who (I thought) gave me a good lay of the land. Which firms to meet with re lateral opportunities, which to avoid, etc. I’ve since spoken with a friend who has connections at other firms that could be a better fit. Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?
