New Technology Helps Organizations Accurately Match Job Descriptions To Resumes.
I do not envy HR people and recruiters. People who have to make decisions on screening, interviewing, and hiring others usually do not have enough hours in a day. They may advertise in local newspapers and become overwhelmed with resumes, most of which are not qualified for the job. These professionals use a lot of hit or miss tactics to achieve very exact and precise goals. Nowadays, people whose jobs is to ultimately hire others use job boards such as Monster, Careerbuilder, and HotJobs to post their job description. The problem is that they are totally relying on the right person discovering the position before it is lost in the shuffle within the next 5-7 days. Slim chance.
What is the answer to this dilemma? Odin is the answer to this mystery. Odin is a proprietary engine of staffITnow. In Norse mythology, Odin is the god of knowledge and skill. In job-hunt terminology, Odin is a resume match engine that ensures you the right candidates. Odin, is a new, one of a kind matching engine designed to find you the right candidate. Odin helps saves tons of time and money by more accurately matching resumes to job descriptions than using keywords. Keyword based matching is ineffective and Odin is a much more effective method. Odin is available at only one company and that is Staff It Now.
First of all, keyword matching sucks. Recognizing the limitation of keyword searches, not to mention the frustrations of all concerned, Staff It Now has developed Odin. Perhaps you don't have to deal with keywords daily in the capacity of going through stacks of resumes. But you probably have used Google or another search engine and you didn't find exactly what you were seeking. You have spent several minutes for no results.
Next, the matching technology available at www.staffitnow.com, Odin, matches in an improved way. It does it by using a language processing mode that actually reads your job requirement when you add it on staffITnow.com. It identifies the primary and secondary skills and matches it with candidates of the same skill set.
For example, a recruiter of an IT corporation is looking for a professional with 3 years of experience on database projects. When a qualified, available and interested candidate puts their resume online and searches for a job, Odin places that job right on top of the results. The system will also automatically send an email to the qualified candidate to peak and measure their interest.
So how does this technology help in the recruiting and hiring process? Odin can play a significant role in job sourcing & recruiting. Instead of spending hours attempting to sort through resumes that are poorly written or not qualified for the job position, recruiters and HR professionals are able to generate a list of potential job candidates that is prioritized by the most qualified individuals. This matching allows you to contact the best person first, which increases the likelihood of making a placement or hiring the right professional.
To conclude, Staff It Now aim at being the ultimate sourcing solution. Thanks to Odin, the company's web site can sift through thousands of resumes and requirements from multiple online sources and reduce it to meaningful and efficient results for both employers and job seekers. This means significant time and money savings for all involved parties.
