I want to make sure I understand. You would 'never recommend' a 'perfect resume' because you assume that the person cheated? Or didn't work hard enough?
Or is it that you assume a person with a 'perfect resume' doesn't fit on your team?
If the particular person story about how they got where they are does match your hiring qualifications, but they also have a 'perfect resume', would that disqualify them? Or would they even get the opportunity to interview?
I see the confusion, due to my poor choice of words. Let me try again, to assure you there was no prejudice involved. First, everyone gets a chance. I am not THAT kind of asshole, although admit to being AN asshole.
After the interviews, my boss would ask why I did not choose candidate X, with the perfect resume. My response was always simple. A perfect resume (full of clearly stated, off the chart accomplishments accompanied by all the hottest certifications) and a known University degree did not answer all my questions. It was no coincidence that these were usually the same who were nicely groomed, fit, and pass just about any professional work place stereotype. Inevitably, the interview would unfold with them really not measuring up to their resume.
When you get down to it, a job is about what you can do either immediately or eventually. My selections usually had military or tech school background (UNIX engineer work). They were competent in their area of work but were self-motivated and professional. They just didn't look the part or have the perfect resume.
