Internet Resume Search Just Got an Impressive Facelift with TalentHook Sphere
With expanded search functionality, shared tracking features and the
addition of over 800 new Internet sites, TalentHook Sphere offers
recruiters the most comprehensive Internet resume retrieval solution on the
market.
Las Vegas, NV, Friday, June 25th, 2008 - Resource Edge, LLC, creators
of TalentHook, a cutting-edge resume spidering technology solution, have
recently introduced new searching and candidate management features
along with an impressive new face with the release of its latest version
of their software called, TalentHook Sphere.
Sphere, the newest version of TalentHook's powerful candidate search
software, capitalizes on what TalentHook does best, quickly identifying,
capturing and returning candidate resumes wherever they reside on the
Internet. Already a necessary tool in the arsenal of today's most
productive recruiters, the new version has been met with warm response from
current TalentHook subscribers. With expanded search functionality,
shared tracking features and the addition of over 800 new Internet sites,
TalentHook Sphere offers recruiters the most comprehensive Internet
resume retrieval solution on the market.
One of the first changes clients notice is the friendly and intuitive
user interface designed to complement today's most popular business
software. When creating the first search using TalentHook Sphere, the
biggest improvements are also immediately recognizable. Vital search
enhancements on all Internet resources including increased basic criteria
searching functionality with expanded detailed criteria options for paid
resources, gives recruiters a significant opportunity to better shape and
execute their search for accurate and broad results.
For Open Web and Desktop searches, recruiters can select to increase
their limits on resume results to cast a wider net across major Internet
search engines, community sites and ISPs. In addition, for those
recruiters working in a corporate function or across a larger network,
exciting shared candidate tracking features will now allow teams to access
candidate detail and activity across a password secured business
environment.
Add a broad list of additional resume resources and enhanced
communication and search functionality to assist the recruiter in creating
effective, targeted searches across the Internet and TalentHook now stands to
demonstrate more effectively than ever why spidering technology and
timely candidate management is a must for the productive and fast paced
recruiting environment.
Phil Gonzalez, CEO of Resource Edge, LLC and former recruiter is very
pleased with the new enhancements and the feedback he has received from
clients that were eager to beta test the new product. "It has been very
rewarding to demonstrate for our clients that we value their feedback.
To be able to put these enhancements in place and to see recruiters
respond so positively to them excites the team. More importantly, it
gives us even more steam to continue finding even more ways to optimize our
performance and continue enhancing a tool we truly feel is best-in
class."
Initial user feedback on the new version has been extremely positive.
The first and most immediate change users have responded to is the new
interface, which gives users a fresh and streamlined way to move through
creating and managing a search.
Recruitment industry executive and CEO Tim Penick offered his feedback.
"It's very easy to navigate, the different parts of your sourcing
process are grouped in a really intuitive format with more drop down menus,
more shortcuts and multiple ways to access and manage clients and
candidates. TalentHook has always been easy to use, Sphere is faster and
friendlier and ultimately more effective."
The additional searching criteria demonstrate value quickly with users
experiencing more optimal search results. Athena Bindel, longtime
TalentHook subscriber and recruiter for CTB/McGraw-Hill was one of the first
recruiters to try out the new features during TalentHook's beta
testing. Bindel was especially pleased with the new ways to filter and define
a search. "I especially like the information and tips that guide you
through all of the resume sources you select for your search. I do a lot
of Paid resume site searches and one of the challenges is knowing what
search parameters can and can't be used," she shares. "With TalentHook
Sphere, I feel a lot more confident about the search criteria I'm
using, knowing where it will work and what I may need to consider to
improve my results. The detailed search criteria even lets me define my
results by how long a resume has been on a site and lets me factor in salary
ranges and education levels as well. It's a major improvement on a
tool I already liked very much. And best of all, I'm seeing more resumes!"
With the new version in place, TalentHook began a directed effort to
enhance TalentHook Sphere further with the addition of over 800 new
resume sources. The effort to add resources continues with approximately ten
new sites being announced to users, weekly.
TalentHook plans to announce more updates and will be continuously
adding to their resource list throughout the year. TalentHook is also
working to stay informed and involved with the major paid resume sites like
Monster.com to ensure that the software continues to work effectively
and well within paid website guidelines to ensure a seamless transition
as online sites continue to find ways to ensure they protect job seeker
data. With all of those efforts firmly in place, Gonzalez has his team
committed to another strong year of service to the recruiting
community.
"Our goal and our focus remain consistent. This software was designed
to become the tool recruiters rely on to give them quick, easy and
streamlined access to candidate resumes online. As the industry has evolves,
we meet those challenges for our clients and the industry by pushing
the limits of what we can do to improve online resume search. TalentHook
Sphere is a strong example of that effort."
