UnitedWeWork.org,
a new job site, says that it’s seeking to connect job seekers with employers in
a more personalized and humane way that’s free for everyone. The model
has been compared to that of the popular dating site eHarmony; instead of
listing available jobs and applying to each one, job seekers create one profile
which includes their skills, experience, education and desires and the
job-matching network connects them with recruiters who are filling appropriate
positions.
Similar
to the idea of eHarmony’s matching technology, United We Work utilizes
QuietAgent's smart matching technology, which isn’t just based on job titles or
keywords. Intuitive yet complex, the site is perfect for anyone open to a
career transition and/or relocation because the job seekers are matched with
positions based on compatibility of skills and strengths – not just on past
experience in that exact position.
UnitedWeWork
sends members real-time status updates for each job seeker; allowing them to
feel empowered by understanding what the process is; if the job has been
filled, or if the employer needs more time to decide.
While
anonymity is still a critical concern for some job seekers, every user is
entirely anonymous until they choose to reveal their identity.
Additionally, each user’s profile can be set up to exclude any employers by
domain names.
If
you’re job hunting, it’s definitely worth checking out!
Sounds sort of like PT Brazen Careerist network - skills and profiles instead of simple resumes. Interesting concept - I'll be curious to see how it evolves.
