Next Generation Job Board brings best matched candidates based on specific position needs

TalentSpring delivers a list of resumes organized with the highest caliber candidates on top for employers specific candidate searches.  This allows employers to go directly to the strongest candidates in an industry. 

How TalentSpring Works
You enter your resumes into TalentSpring.  You then pick the exact job category you work in, such as: “Computer/Internet > Programmer > Language > Java” or “Nurse > RN”.  Then you sit back and let TalentSpring do the work of sorting candidates to employers who are looking for your specific talents.

 

It's a public marketplace where you can browse candidates, depending on the personal privacy settings of the candidates.  Some have made their resume viewable by other candidates; some have strict privacy settings so only employers can see the resume after the candidate has granted permission.

TalentSpring's Company Beliefs:
The Hiring process SHOULD NOT just be based on:

• Who you Know
• Self-Promotion
• Random Luck

The Hiring process SHOULD be based on:

• A market driven by finding the best candidates for your open position
• Candidates with the strongest accomplishments -- at work, school, and elsewhere - get noticed.
• Candidates with the strongest performance with the qualifications you need get interviewed

P.S. For Employers...
If you are hiring, you can sign up to receive weekly notifications of new resumes in the top 25% of their industry (for the positions you are trying to fill).  There is no cost to receive the new resume notification.

I see a chicken or egg problem here, to me, to vote 12 times seem a lot to get your resume into the pool. BUT the big problem is almost all categories that I clicked on has nothing for me to vote.

If there is nothing in the system... then there is nothing to vote on ... then there is no way to get your resume into the system .... you see the problem here ?

So maybe you let the first 10000 users' resume be automatically added to the pool.. then what... it conflicts your rules/policy.. and these users have no incentive to vote well.. against.. it conflicts your "mathematic" model and now what?

Any comments on this?

We solved this problem by saying "Our cost to you is to perform up to 12 votes to get ranked per category", but in the case where we don't have enough votes in the system (which is a bootstrapping problem we face) we have you vote for as many times as we can and then rank you when you've either finished all the votes or we run out.

My philosophy is that it is our fault you can't vote, not yours.

Make sense?

Hi guys,

the concept seems to be unique , but still how will the peers can rate the resume like on what basis, HRs can rate the resumes but not the same people or people at the same level..

I may be wrong, but just wanted to say what i thought of this system..

I just gave the sign up process a test spin a few minutes ago. I know its a beta so I'll give some constructive criticism - definitely need to beef up the subcategories.

Hey Bryan,

I found you via one of my contacts on LinkedIn. The idea certainly is interesting... and if done correctly, I think it would blow the socks off of the standard resume database systems.

BR,

Robert

I have a humorous resume article called “How To Get Your Resume Noticed” that I think you would enjoy. It’s here:

Hey Bryan,
Last time i work much with many russian hr sites. Here is one idea you may like and perhaps implement it in futute.

When potential candidate signup and leave CV on some sites he may also check "i want to be qualified." He leaves his phone number and getting call from site stuff and having short phone interview.

After that his resume may be bit fixed (for example it may be extended and moved to another job category where he has more chances to be hired)and checked against his interview. It gets Verified status. Site stuff also may manualy send interesting canditates to employees acting like HR agencies.

I think its nice idean that may appear in Talentspring one day.
