Why do you recommend putting "company overview" bullet points on a resume?

We recommend leading with a bullet point about your current or recent employers, so resume screeners can understand your domain expertise and the scale/scope of the problems you work on. The quantitative achievements of companies often dwarf individual contributor numbers, so this is your opportunity to anchor the screener on some big impressive numbers, and borrow validity from your employer.

It's best to add a short description of the company, but include any impressive tidbits, like whether the company is a Fortune 500 / 100 company, if they have raised a significant amount of capital, or if they have a significant amount of revenue or market capitalization.
