Is Cornelius Adeyemi-Blackwood a real person

No. He is invented for this page, and so are Deichvogel Manufacturing and Lindenwald Advisory. The figures show a shape and describe nobody's career.

Is it acceptable to mention tribunal cases

In the form used here, yes: a count and an outcome, with no detail about any individual. Fifty-five cases with two reaching tribunal and both settled is a statement about your casework, and it names nobody.

What is the most persuasive HR number

Turnover, if you can attach a plan to it. The example moves voluntary turnover from 19% to 12% over three years, which is the one figure a managing director will recognise without translation.

What did the checker score it

99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 97 × 40% for content, on three dated roles, fifteen action-led lines and 422 readable words. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied.

Should the HR adviser role stay

Yes, and at the same five lines as the rest. Early advisory casework is where employee relations judgement is built, and a reader wants to see that you have done the work as well as owned the function.

Which design is this rendered in

Imprint, one of the 24 ATS-safe layouts out of 37, and one of the eight chosen on 2026-09-14 from a measurement of every layout's own export. It sets a senior page formally without a sidebar, which is the layout feature most likely to be lost in extraction.

Headcount, turnover, casework

Six hundred and forty employees across three sites with a team of four. Voluntary turnover from 19% to 12% over three years. Fifty-five disciplinary and grievance cases, two of which reached tribunal and both settled. Those three lines place the candidate more precisely than a page of competencies, and each of them is a fact that can be discussed.

The onboarding line is the fourth: 120 hires a year, and 90-day retention from 81% to 94%. It shows the function joined up, because a retention problem fixed at day ninety is usually a hiring problem fixed at day one.

Casework can be written without naming anybody

A count and an outcome is all a reader needs, and all a candidate may safely give. The example never describes a case, an employee or a dispute, and it still tells a director exactly how much employee relations work this person has carried.

The works council line does the same for a German context: two agreements covering shift patterns for 380 employees. Consultation experience is the part of an HR manager's record a European employer reads first, and it is a countable thing rather than a claim about collaboration.

Skills for an HR manager résumé, grouped

Cornelius's skills fall into people, organisation and systems. People: employee relations, coaching managers, performance management, resourcing. Organisation: works council consultation, restructuring, job architecture, policy writing. Data and tools: HR analytics, Personio. An operations director hiring an HR manager reads the organisation group closely, because restructuring and consultation are where an HR mistake costs most.

Generalists and specialists group differently. A reward specialist leads with pay and benefits; a talent partner leads with sourcing and assessment. In the free résumé builder the Skills section can print your own named groups or one plain list, whichever fits the role you are applying to.

From HR adviser to HR manager

An adviser's résumé proves sound casework: cases handled, policies applied, timelines met, as the Lindenwald adviser role does. A business partner adds influence: the managers you advised, the restructure you shaped, the attrition figure you moved with a line manager's cooperation.

The manager role changes the scale to the whole site or business: headcount, turnover, the council you consulted, the budget for hiring. Keep every case anonymous at every level; the figures carry the weight and nobody needs to be identifiable. The guide to quantifying achievements shows how to count people work fairly.

How it reads and scores

The import review reads 3 roles, 1 degree, 2 languages and 10 skills before anything reaches the editor. The ATS checker scored it 99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied here, and the five it withheld are one rule: bullet tense. How our examples are made explains the import review and the scoring behind these figures.

What this example leaves off

No case details, no employee names, no settlement figures and no description of any dispute. A director reading an HR application is watching how much the candidate is willing to say, and restraint on the page is the first evidence of judgement in the role.

Lists of policies owned are left off too. Every HR manager has owned a handbook. What separates them is what changed while they owned it, which is what the turnover, retention and time to hire lines are for.

What to change for your own

Change the sector and the jurisdiction. Works councils, unions, TUPE, awards and at-will employment all change the vocabulary and none of them change the shape. Then put in your own headcount, turnover figures, case volumes and hiring numbers.

Keep the system you administer in the skills row. Keep one line about training managers, because that is the difference between an HR manager and an administrator. The guide on experience bullets covers the verb-first construction, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the project manager example, the electrician example and the warehouse example show it in other work.
