Comments on: Headhunting 2.0: NotchUp

Avoid annoying phone calls from recruiters--tell companies at what price you'll take a job pitch.

Opportunity Knocks, and behind that door is a thief ready to steal your identity. Notchup did just that when they stole GrandCentral's website design. I guess they sort of interviewed me but forgot to pay!

TalentSpring (my company), JobFox, and ItzBig are three companies working on making hiring more efficient. Now NotchUp is also doing some interesting things in this space.

The first three are working on advanced ways to job seekers to their ideal job opening. And employers to their ideal job candidate.

TalentSpring goes beyond that to rank resumes within an industry. We do this to benefit Job Seekers by getting the attention of employees. Job seekers rank well in areas they are passionate about and where they have invested in their work experience and education.

Since job seekers will rank well in areas they are interested in, we can bring large numbers of employers back to that job seeker. Specifically, we email a wide range of employers of job types that the job seeker considers ideal. This way the job seeker wins because they have their ideal types of employers actively listening to them. (Ranking resumes gives us the power to accomplish this)

My company, Leapways.com, is also focusing on Job and career market. The main difference we have from other sites is that it is 100% free of charge for both employers and job seekers.

We will be soon launching a Technical Screening Service which we are aiming for the hiring managers across Corporate America . The idea is to take some pressure out of the hiring manager (who's real job is not hiring). We will take the ownership of filtering the candidates. In other words, our representative(s) take the interview and give a report report on the technology skills of the candidate. During the technical interview we will rate other skills like communication etc.

Our interviews are real world technical architects, working in IT field for more than 10 years. That makes a huge difference. "We will help you to hire the RIGHT talent" - That is our motto.

You gotta love some options. There?s another site out there that?s doing the basic same thing, www.applicanttree.com. It?s a much better deal for the businesses doing the hiring, and a lot less hassle for payment. I don?t know if I can convince the boss on either of these two deals, he?s a bit wary of anything new and he?s just now warming up to Monster, but I don?t see the harm in using either service.
