Massachusetts Based 495NSG Group Taps SkillPROOF, Inc

As Source For Real-Time IT Job Market Intelligence

SkillPROOF, (www.skillproof.com)America’s fastest growing IT Job Board today announces it has formed a strategic alliance with the 495 Networking Support Group(www.495nsg.org). SkillPROOF has provided 495NSG and its members with the first of its kind real time IT local job information kiosk directly on the 495 NSG web site.

Members of the 495 NSG can now see, in real time, an overview of IT jobs available from direct employers in Massachusetts. SkillPROOF scans every 24 hours the online career sites of direct IT employers in the US and Canada then categorizes and aggregates the IT job information. The developers of SkillPROOF found that about 90% of open IT jobs listed on direct employer’s career sites are not available on the national branded job boards like Monster, Dice, etc. The SkillPROOF IT job kiosk provides the number of open IT jobs in Massachusetts, the number of jobs open and closed on both on a daily basis as well as a summary of the job categories available. Henning Seip, President of SkillPROOF, Inc. stated that the American IT workforce is under intense pressure and needs much better tools than the traditional job boards and resume writing services to compete in the local and global IT job markets.

SkillPROOF is an IT skills management system for IT professionals and hiring managers to improve the availability of skills information traditionally frozen in resumes. SkillPROOF collects IT job information for its IT professionals membership as a service generating a more transparent and real-time IT work force demand profile expressed through online career sites of direct IT employers. SkillPROOF currently tracks more than 19,000 IT jobs making it the largest source for IT job information from direct IT employers in the US.
