VIDEO: TalentSpring’s benefit to Employers

We have a new video on how TalentSpring works for employers:

TalentSpring does the following four things for Employers:

#1 Find Resumes MATCHING the job opening
TalentSpring enables employers to search resumes with a narrower match to their open position.  Employers can search and be very specific about their needs for their open position.  Our technology enables us to return resumes that are an exact match, EVEN IF the resume doesn’t include ANY of the words in the employer’s search.

In this example, the employer needs a “GAME PROGRAMMER working on the NETWORKING STACK for a MOBILE PHONE GAME that is a CASUAL GAME”.  On other job boards, they couldn’t use this narrow of a search because almost no resume will include all of these words.

With TalentSpring, the employer search will often look like: “GAME PROGRAMMER working on the NETWORKING STACK for a MOBILE PHONE GAME that is a CASUAL GAME”.

Then the list of resumes matching this criteria will be displayed.  The matching technology is one of the big reasons TalentSpring is completely different than other job boards.

Resumes matching all of the criteria will appear on top.  Resumes including some but not all of the criteria will appear lower in the list.

#2 Sort the MOST QUALIFIED to the TOP of the resume list
TalentSpring’s next specialty is to SORT (or RANK) the highest qualified resumes to the TOP of the list.

The challenges with traditional job boards is that recruiters today are required to perform a literal keywords search for words that will be in the resume.  These keyword searches force recruiters to be overly broad in their search which results in 10,000s of resumes being returned.

Employers are normally constrained to reading only 180 resumes or less because recruiters rarely have more than 3 hours to spend reading resumes for any one open position.

The job board is doing a disservice to recruiters if it can’t SORT the highest qualified resumes to the TOP of the list of resumes.

TalentSpring uses “resume STANDOUT scores” that allow us to sort or rank resumes against the employers search criteria.

#3 Weekly Email Roll-up of TOP Matching Resumes
When a company hires an external contingency based recruiting firm, that firm will return a short-list of resumes that fairly closely match the open position.  TalentSpring works in a similar way.

With TalentSpring, you can sign-up for “TOP TALENT ALERTS”, which is an email you will receive on Mondays and Thursdays.  You will ONLY receive the email if:

• The resume is new, AND
• The resume is a very close match to your open position, AND
• The resume has a STANDOUT SCORE that means it scores in the TOP 50% of the industry.

More importantly, you can browse the resumes by their STANDOUT scores to see exactly how qualified the resumes are within their industry.

#4 Acquiring Resumes of High Quality and Hard to Reach Candidates
The final focus of TalentSpring is on acquiring resumes from top candidates in any specific industry.

TalentSpring has a big announcement coming soon on how we acquire top job seekers.

We would love to hear from you.  What do you think about our approach to building tools for corporate and contingency based recruiters?  What areas interest you?
