Since the research is bleak about people who actually successfully get hired from jobs posted on job posting Web sites, maybe it is time the focus was changed and the job posting Web sites became an employee posting Web sites. This is important since one of the key factors that decides who gets hired is personality and the likelihood that a person will fit in well at a company.

Potential employers could go to the site, read profiles and possibly see pictures of potential employees. Potential employees could post their profile, successes, likes/dislikes, and if they wanted, a picture.

This would save employees time from applying to jobs that no longer exist. This would save employees from reading hundreds of resumes. They (the employers) could go online and find someone whose personality matched the corporate personality. Once the candidate(s), they could request their resume.

A form of this already exists on virtually all niche job sites where job seekers can post resumes and other information about themselves.

This is something that our software is ideal for.

We are working with a number of partners who view the ability of recruitment to be a core cash cow within peer communities, and professional communities, where the aim of the recruiter is to seek a match of the person as well as the skill set.

We also overcome the problem of CVs as spin, (every CV is written for an audience) and the uselessness of CV parsers (which are really good at not understanding any of the word NOT and thus generate lots of false positives).

Should you have any sector in mind, we'd be very open to a chat. We will consider joint ventures where you provide sector expertise and we the platform.
