Fremont, CA - NimbleCatô today announced a new service that matches candidates with the best positions for them more than five times more accurately and efficiently, according to job seekers, than conventional job boards like Monster.com.
The NimbleCat service is free for job seekers. It uses a scoring system to indicate how well matched a candidate is for a given position, and alerts the job seeker only to jobs that are a good fit.
In addition to showing job seekers how qualified they are for a position, employers and recruiters who use NimbleCat are able to see how highly a candidate rates as a match for a particular job. Satisfied NimbleCat user Eugene Ponomarenko says, I was hired because NimbleCat identified me [to a recruiter] as the leading candidate for the job. Another former job seeker, Venkat Tata, remarks, I think NimbleCat’s ability to actually develop a score of my ’fit’ for a job really helped meÖ. Nimble Cat was useful to me, and I have recommended it to others.
By alerting job seekers only to positions they are best suited for, NimbleCat, in contrast to job boards, saves time wasted opening and reading email alerts that frequently list few, if any, jobs that are a good match for a candidate’s skills and experience. NimbleCat user Julie Jacobs comments, [NimbleCat’s] filtering on my behalf saves me approximately two hours daily from having to read every email job alert I’m sent from the 36 consulting sites on which I’m actively registered. And most of the projects [it sends me] are very accurate in matching job requirements with my credentials. Contractor Howard Lange states, I wish I would have used [NimbleCat] sooner. I have started to use NimbleCat exclusively for finding my next contract, and it helped me find my current assignment. It was very frustrating before to receive daily job alerts that claimed to match my resume, but usually weren’t right for my skills at all.
Recruiters and hiring managers also find that NimbleCat’s service saves them time and frustration in filling jobs with the most qualified candidates. NimbleCat’s patent-pending Job Routing Network (JRN) technology reads a resume or job post and extracts its most important information. The company’s proprietary algorithms use this information to compare resumes and job posts with each other. The JRN can power through thousands of resumes in seconds and pinpoint the best-fit candidates for each job with unparalleled accuracy.
NimbleCat’s JRN is the first of its kind. NimbleCat founder Sunil Mehta, PhD, a Silicon Valley veteran, developed the technology in response to friends’ and acquaintances’ complaints that existing job-hunting technologies, such as job boards, too often perform poorly in matching a job seeker’s true credentials with the right position. If you want to receive alerts for hundreds of jobs a month, then Monster or CareerBuilder may be right for you-but how many of those jobs will be the right jobs? Mehta asks. Time is precious when you’re job-hunting, and NimbleCat eliminates hours spent trawling jobs that aren’t a good fit for you. We all have had the experience, I’m sure, of signing up for job board alerts, only to find that 90% of them are for positions that we are not interested in, and sometimes not even remotely qualified for, says Mehta. We created NimbleCat’s job-routing network to solve this very real problem for today’s job seekers.
NimbleCat, a privately held company in Fremont, California, was founded by a team of engineering and recruitment professionals to solve the problem of matching the right person with the right job. Having experienced how difficult and time-consuming it is to connect quality professionals with the jobs that they are best suited for, NimbleCat’s founders have created the first job-routing network (JRN) to connect highly qualified job seekers with the best jobs, and employers with the most qualified candidates.
