NextStage Resume Reader (for HR, Job Sites & Headhunters)
Another tool we’re working on is a tool intended for HR departments. We believe that it would best fit within the offering of a Job Site (eg. Monster) or headhunters.
What does NextStage Resume Reader do?
You can upload a resume in digital format (eg. word document) and our engines will analyze it. Our tool will provide you with a benchmark on 6 variables for the moment:
Ability to Help- Works well with others
- Requires Little Supervision
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Competent
The screenshot that we present is one of the resumes that we have received at NextStage benchmarked against a 100 others.
How should this tool be used?
You may use it for instance if you have many candidates that look alike and you would like to narrow down your selection before the face to face interviewing process.
Nowadays, for a particular job you may end up with hundreds (if not more) resumes on your desk and it’s not easy to decide which ones will make it to the short list for interviews. You may discard a good candidate for the wrong reasons.
NextStage Resume Reader helps you make this first selection on a more objective basis, depending of course on your objectives. The variables that we show in this report are the ones that we have already coded, but others are possible depending upon needs.
Why do we say that a Job site or headhunters would be the best candidate to use this tool?
Job sites have in their possessions thousands and thousands of resumes, it would then be most efficient to use this tool in this environment to get the most accurate benchmarking. Also this would reduce the cost for HR as it would be a feature proposed within their services, avoiding HR departments to have to use this tool themselves.
Therefore, if you’re a Job site responsible or a headhunter and would like to learn more about this product, don’t hesitate to contact me.
As always, comments and questions are welcome.
Cheers,
René
Where can you try this René?
Hi Scott,
For the moment this product is a desktop application which we are converting to an online application. It’s what I like to call a prototype as neither the scale nor the look and feel are yet there
As I explained in an earlier post, there are many products in which we are working in parallel and this is one of them. I think that it will be available for public use end of Q1 2010. We can already use it in consulting engagements, that’s what we’ve done until now, but it’s not yet an online application that anybody can access.
This post is part of the ‘Future Series’ that I’m publishing to explain what we do and what to expect from NextStage in the future.
Cheers from cloudy Madrid,
René
