What is SkillZoom? |
|
Find a Job |
SkillZoom is a superior competency and job matching tool, providing fast results with unprecedented accuracy.
A core problem for Resume screening tools is having to deal with inconsistent data on thousands of unstructured,
text-based Resumes. Job seekers write their Resumes with words of their own choice, while recruiters run their
daily searches with relevant word choices, but these word choices are not necessarily the same. Results are
unreliable and may require more processing. The job matching process is delayed.
SkillZoom supports the vision and goals of the Semantic Web. Data consistency is resolved by having both job
seekers and recruiters use the same library of terms: job seekers use it to build their detailed career
Profile (like a Resume Builder), while recruiters use it to build a detailed list of competencies for their
job vacancies.

Recruiters
Despite advances in Resume screening tools, searching thousands of text Resumes by means of matching
'keywords' ... can only take you so far. Some screening tools even use "keyword density" as a means of 'scoring
and ranking' results for relevance, perhaps an even more questionable practice. All in all, seeking candidates
by trying to match your keywords against words in their Resumes remains unreliable and inefficient. SkillZoom
helps recruiters identify superb matches, in a fraction of the time.
Another complication: when they respond to a job ad, job seekers often 'tweak' their Resumes, by adding words,
or expanding certain parts of their Resume, to include words they see in your posted job. Their assumption (which
is essentially correct) is that by embedding the same word choices as those you used in your posted vacancy, they
increase their chances at being closer to the 'top of the stack'. The main problem with this 'cat and mouse race
to relevance' is that recruiters find themselves searching through multiple 'slightly different' versions of a
Resume ... for the same person. Proper job matching shouldn't be a keyword guessing game, nor should it involve
trying to hit a "moving target". With Resumes becoming increasingly 'customized' to individually target each
job application, Resumes now partly encroach on roles that are traditionally in the realm of the Cover Letter ...

Job Seekers
Current online recruiting technologies force job seekers and recruiters into unnecessary keyword guessing games.
Ask yourself: though I was very specific about my job preferences, why am I getting so many inquiries for jobs that
are not even 'close' to what I asked? When recruiters conduct a search, you hope they will select word combinations
that match the words on your Resume. In reality, all these gyrations and inconsistencies are preventable.
Job matching doesn't have to be a keyword lottery. You shouldn't have to re-edit your Resume (yet again) for every
new job application, or have to add details to match the job post... Yet, most job seekers do it, hoping to improve
their chance at being "spotted" by the recruiter. Your career is too important to rely on the whims of unpredictable
word choices. With SkillZoom, recruiters and job seekers use the same set of word. Also, you do not need to have
several variants of your Resume: a single, comprehensive SkillZoom Profile covers in great detail any of the job roles
you wish to explore.
