Innovation at Jobsite makes easy work of finding the perfect candidate

Jobsite launches a unique new tool called CVautoMatch today which makes it easier and quicker for recruiters to find the best candidates.

The CVautoMatch service is one of a series of innovations to be introduced by Jobsite over the coming months which aim to make the online recruiting process even more efficient.

The technology behind CVautoMatch analyses the content of recruiter posted vacancies and cross references data from individual CVs to instantly identify candidates who best match a vacancy. Itís the first tool able to search directly across CVs and posted vacancies, meaning neither clients nor candidates have to go through any additional registration or form filling.

Clients can now be presented with up to 15 candidates who accurately match their vacancyís requirements within seconds of posting, saving valuable time and resources. By presenting the best matching CVs to the client at the point of posting the vacancy, it increases the most relevant candidates’ chances of being noticed.

Jobsiteís confidence in the service is supported by extensive behavioural research across Jobsiteís jobseeker base and the integration of 14,000 items of client feedback since the October 2006 pilot.

Keith Potts, Jobsite CEO, comments: ìAs technology gets ever smarter and faster, so too should the online recruiting process. Our research into jobseeker behaviour showed they typically go online to look for jobs between 9 am and 10 am on a Tuesday, but are only able to search for a short time. The limited time they have available means that we need to do all we can to get their CV to the right recruiters and vacancies.

ìWeíve drawn on our 12 years at the forefront of online recruiting and some of the most sophisticated technology around to create CVautoMatch. The premise is quality not quantity, and we believe recruiters and candidates will notice an immediate benefit.î

From the trials of the service, industries which are already seeing an early success rate on suitable CV matches include the IT sector, with 56% of the overall CVís rated as ëexcellentí or ëgoodí matches coming from this industry.

The launch of CVautoMatch is supported by findings from a new Jobsite consumer survey, which reveals that 60% of workers are still looking to find their perfect job match.
