Resumes are shown the door in favor of breakthrough "search and connect" technology
Lexington, MA (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 -- My Perfect Gig unveiled MyPerfectGig.com, a dramatic leap forward in recruiting services that enables engineers across multiple disciplines to find their perfect job in just a few clicks.
Employing a unique "skill cloud" interface, the knowledge-based system provides in-demand skills across the engineering industry. Engineering professionals can quickly find their perfect job match on-the-fly - no resume, no lengthy questionnaire.
MyPerfectGig.com transforms how candidates search for jobs and is a natural fit for passive candidates. The service contains an in-depth knowledge of the skills for each occupation most in demand. With each click, it navigates the job seeker towards job opportunities ideally suited to their interests and expertise. My Perfect Gig's algorithm updates skill associations based on user input, enabling its knowledge base to grow organically and provide better matches.
"Our intelligent, guided-search interface reboots the recruiting world by enabling job seekers to discover available jobs via a 'common language' with employers," said Blair Heavey, chief executive officer. "Those not actively seeking jobs can also discover the value of their specific skill within their market and more strategically plan their careers."
MyPerfectGig.com differs significantly from recruiting services that promise employer introductions, yet effectively discourage passive job candidates by requiring registration. Upon locating a uniquely-suited position from the skill cloud interface, the candidate can request to be introduced to an employer. The employer only then may request the candidate's resume, after the candidate has identified their ideal job and requested the introduction.
In a tough economy, candidates pay more attention to career management, and employers look for ways to cut costs. My Perfect Gig offers candidates a way to find their ideal job with a few clicks. When job seekers request introductions, hiring managers can easily see the best-suited candidates for their openings.
The company's employer product, SourceView, lets recruiters and hiring managers automatically distill their job requirements down to the "must-have" skills for their positions. Information relating to the available supply of talent and the competitive demand for each discrete skill is provided along with candidate profiles that precisely match their needs.
My Perfect Gig already has several paying corporate customers and is partnering with high-traffic content sites such as EE Times.com, over 15 engineering schools and candidate database companies covering millions of individual job seekers.
