Resume database software by BlackDog, Inc.
Resume database software for recruiters and their recruiting
software systems. Wow! Try
searching the internet for resume
database software, resume processing, resume scoring, resume
evaluation, resume testing, resume parsing. Most of what you
get are services for job seekers to help them in writing their
resumes. That is absolutely is not what we are about.
Also we are not about collecting resumes for our database or
applicant tracking
system that is a job for our recruiting customers and job boards. So if you got here
with one of these objectives I apologize for wasting your time. We
do try to add clarity to our search words so we do not misdirect or
deceive visitors but the Search Engine world is a very dynamic and
fluid beast.
A resume database and importing to it is
critical to any good executive
search software system. We use Sovren
. We think it is the best available. Import any
resume with our live demonstration of this recruiting software
feature. The demonstration does not
show the complete picture of what we can do with a resume found from any
source; web, email or your hard drive. We can take that resume
and:
-
Extract all the keywords you are
interested in. This parsing process will help you as a
recruiter get to the right person quicker. Please note in
the last sentence I said 'right person' not right resume. I
will come back to this point later. When our applicant tracking
software parse's or processes a resume it brings in all the
contents of a resume as text. This text is searchable for
any word or phrase. Any staffing agency
software system you buy should be able to do this quickly
and without consuming valuable time from the recruiter. Here
is where we as recruiting software vendors get into the jousting
of whose resume parser is better or more efficient.
Keywords are the means for making resumes stand out from the rest.
So what can I offer you as something we do better than searching sometimes
thousand and thousands of resumes for keywords? Our
recruitment software is able to pull out your interested
keywords as the resumes are parsed into your database.
The keywords are placed on your
main Gopher screen. We call this screen the profile screen.
-
Determine the person's educational
credentials and the year graduated.
-
Determine the years of experience.
-
-
Attach the original
resume.
-
Provide a easy way to
reformat the resume into your recruiting firms trade mark resume format.
-
Match the resume to your
open positions.
Our resume database
importing process can do all this quickly, accurately and most
importantly organize the resume for you on our profile screen so you
can find exactly what you are looking for in the shortest time
possible.
But if you have been through
this site already I think you know what I am going to say next. All this
technology to find and analyze resumes is useless if you cannot market
to your client base. I have quoted Gary
Stauble on other pages of this site because he has been able to describe marketing for
recruiters clearly and simply. So much so that I have received
his permission to re-print one of articles completely on the 3 R's of
recruitment marketing.

Getting Into HR?

Periodically, a reader's question has universal appeal and application so I am sharing both the question and my response. This particular question comes to me a lot, particularly from people who want to transition into the field of HR. With little to no formal education in HR and little job experience, what can the individual do to quickly impact their ability to work in our field? How would you respond to Ann's question? Reader's Question: let me introduce myself. My name is Ann and I am a BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) graduate. I have several years' experience working as an accounts assistant, administration assistant, data entry operator and so on. I am 30 years old now and I wish to make an upward progress in my career and Human Resources interests me. But all the HR vacancies (even HR assistants) require HR experience. So I thought of studying further to increase my chances of getting an HR position. I am planning to do a Graduate Certificate course in Australia and there are two options: Graduate Certificate in Human Resources Graduate Certificate in Humanities and Social Science Which one do you think might give me a chance to put a foot in the door in HR? I would be most obliged if you could provide advice in this matter. Thank you for your time and thoughts. My Response: I am unfamiliar with many graduate certificates, so it is difficult to comment on specific ones, but I would think that one that allowed HR study, if that is your goal, would be better. However, I have several additional ideas. Preparing to Work in HR Why not interview some successful HR managers in your community to seek out their advice about getting into the field of HR and how you can prepare. Many HR people are willing to do these informational interviews and it is also a way to get your name, as interested in HR, out into your community. Is there any way that you can take on additional tasks in your current job that take you in the HR direction? Many people started in HR by doing payroll as an example. Talk to your boss and your company's HR person about your goal and get advice. Maybe there are ways the departments can share you. Work with a decent resume writer or your college career services office to take your accounting experience and make it sound useful in an HR department. Numbers people are always needed in HR, so perhaps this experience can provide a bridge into an HR career. Can you take a brief leave to do an HR internship? If you have no grad degree in HR or business, consider that they are becoming more important in HR and might make you more employable. Apply for HR Jobs Without Experience I would apply for the positions that require experience. Work with your resume and cover letter to make your current skills and tasks relevant to HR, and apply. Here are some thoughts on getting into HR . Thoughts on transitioning to HR from another field. Readers share their thoughts about how they made their transition into HR. Readers share their more detailed stories about how they transitioned to a position in the field of HR . Best wishes and good luck. May you make all of your dreams come true. Okay, readers. Your thought are welcome for this reader and all of the others who write to me with similar questions. Share the brain trust of the people who read this site. It's spectacular.
