Hey guys. I work in HR and my suggestion would be to save your money on the special mailing envelopes. Nowadays (wow, I can't believe I used that word!) resumes are usually opened by a low- level clerk (no offense, been there, done that!) and then scanned into a computer. The recruiters then do key word searches based on the position qualifications. Most recruiters don't even see the resume and the direct hiring official certainly never sees it. The original resume is usually photocopied, or the scanned copy is e-mailed to them. Even before scanning, etc. I've never heard of anyone putting a resume in the circular file because of creases.
