From the other side of the screen, I see a lot of people inside organisation's trying to hire and becoming annoyed when their recruiters send them CVs that aren't ideal matches.

So this cuts both ways. If you want engineering to have eyes-on early, that necessarily means they're gonna see some CVs that don't fit. Recruiters tend to avoid this because of the 'signals' they're getting back from their client.

Relation between engineering and sourcing also works the other way: engineering can teach recruiters to read CVs better.

A minimum would be to have the recruiter explain why they thought the CV was worth a review and the engineer can then correct them.

Also, in the companies I worked for, recruiters where checking GitHub or LinkedIn when they needed more signal.
