HireAbility.com unveiled Talent Trader

HireAbility.com, a provider of integrated recruiting software and services, unveiled Talent Trader, a hosted professional networking platform that enables numerous recruiting communities to link their members to make more placements, obtain industry advice, resources, job opportunities, and more. Talent Trader is the platform for HireAbilityís own recruiter network of over 350 professional staffing firms, and can be private-labeled for other networks of any size.

Using Talent Trader, members of large national staffing associations or small geographic-specific recruiter groups, can easily locate and communicate with potential business partners, networking contacts, and industry experts. Detailed member profiles, discussion groups, activity ratings, endorsements, user-definable írecruiting partnersí, and other tools once found only in social networks make this possible. Additionally, because recruiters interact in members-only arenas, their discussions are more candid and carry more valuable decision-making information than those conducted in on-line public chat rooms.

Talent Trader also offers recruiters significant advantages over todayís social networking tools. Functions for sharing job openings and candidates, cross posting to job boards, and add-ons for Internet resume mining are just a few of the ways HireAbility meets the unique needs of the staffing industry. Its own recruiter network leverages these features and more, like libraries of shared documents, recruiter training materials, webinars by industry experts, resume parsing, and weekly split placement conference calls.

Until now, countless formal and informal recruiting groups and associations had no infrastructure or tools to allow member communication and information sharing beyond simple email or public forums. Talent Trader provides an advanced tool for messaging, job and candidate searching and sharing as well as other staffing-specific functions that have been lacking on the market, said Craig Silverman, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing for HireAbility.

In the last several years, social networking sites have exploded in popularity, but there hasnít been anything of real substance specifically tailored to the recruiting industry, continued Silveman. íWe are excited to be the first to market with a tool of this caliber.
