Was there ever a resume that you have come across that made you want to hire the person before you even met them? What made it so unique?

I came close. I was building out a strategy team. I Saw the resume and knew I wanted to
meet the candidate as soon as I saw the resume [skipped the phone screen] and after 5 minutes knew I’d hire the candidate. and she was awesome [until she outgrew the role]

Funny - she had purple hair and I was working with a stodgy [in house] recruiter who rolled her eyes at the candidate.

In strategy we look for intelligence and creativity. The resume was very articulate and clearly explained things that were not easy to explain infused with some creativity.

It's less about uniqueness and more about having exactly the kinds of experience or work that I happen to be looking for. It would vary based on the role I'm hiring for. I've rarely seen a resume that's actually unique, and most of the "unique" ones seem to be style over substance, IMO.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
