Improving Recruiting Performance with
Automated Résumé
Processing
By Mark Berger of the Fordyce Letter
and Ken Smith of HireAbility
Do you spend too much time and money on entering
candidate data into your applicant tracking or human
resources management system? Did you know that
HireAbility's automatic resume processing technology
is an integral part of many applicant tracking systems
in use today? In this article, published in the Fordyce
Letter, the premier information source for the staffing
industry, HireAbility's Ken Smith speaks about the
issues and advantages of this time-saving technology.
An excerpt: Product features, accuracy, prices,
and ease-of-integration vary widely from one vendor
to the next. Some applications claim to parse, but
really do nothing more than put all of the text in a
single field or, perhaps, parse contact information.
Surprisingly,
some of the affordable and lesser-known vendors
have the superior solutions. To help you evaluate
your options, try our list of the top issues to consider
in choosing a parser...

Ask Miss J -- Fun & Advice

Click on Miss J's photo (to the left) to email your
recruitment questions and problems to her!
Dear Miss J:
I love my job and am always excited at the prospect
of gaining a new client. So I thought I would write
and ask for your advice.
I currently have a job req for that elusive purple
squirrel or in my case Indricotherium that extinct,
hornless rhinoceros with relatively long legs, who is a
whiz at Java, will move to Bismarck, North Dakota
from Florida in January for a 2 month contract at
$20.00 an hour! But hey it's for a client that I really,
really want to get into - they have a cool big shiny
name and everything! They even reply to my emails
two weeks after I send resumes - they are really
cool. What really excites me is that they said they
were going to get back to me with a decision within
the next three weeks. I think I am on to a winner
here.
So how do I go about playing the successful
paleontologist/recruiter and be able to hunt these
rare creatures down and impress my client?

Dear Delighted:
Hey Texan, hold yer horses! Let's take a long hard
look at them-thar jobs y'all are talkin' about
(pause for cringe).
We are going to sit down quietly and talk about
qualification. When we talk about job reqs, if it looks
like a duck and sounds like a duck, it's probably a
waste of your time. So let's break down this scenario
and pick over it, vulture-style...
