Human Resources: CareerBuilder Unveils Its Five Newest Employer and Job Seeker Tools

CHICAGO, June, 28, 2010 – CareerBuilder, the global leader in human capital solutions, continues to evolve as an organization. No longer just a job board, CareerBuilder now provides resources for everything from employment branding and social media management to data analysis on talent and recruitment support. The following are the five newest solutions for CareerBuilder employers and job seekers: hireINSIDER – This free tool is CareerBuilder’s answer to the "black hole" in job search. It helps to remove some of the guesswork from the application process by enabling job seekers to see, in aggregate, how they stack up against other applicants for a job in terms of education, experience, college major, languages spoken and more. By getting an inside peek into the qualifications of other candidates, job seekers are able to better assess if they are a viable candidate for the job and the likelihood of an employer contacting them. Applicant Experience and Talent Portal – Personified, CareerBuilder’s business intelligence and consulting arm, has literally surveyed more than 1,000,000 job seekers to provide an in-depth data analysis of job seeker perceptions and behaviors. Companies can find out what candidates think about their recruitment process and company representatives, what motivated them to apply to the company and what caused job seekers to drop off during the application process. Employers can see how they compare to the national average and access all of this data in real-time through their customized Talent Intelligence Portal. Talent Network – Utilizing 15 billion points of proprietary data on candidates’ searches for jobs, along with CareerBuilder’s recommendation technology, this solution lets clients build up a pipeline of talent using sites all across the Web. Talent Network works by combining SEO, social media and job site data to figure out where there candidates are and helps companies build job distribution plans for active and passive job seekers – all based on online behaviors. Talent Compensation Portal – CareerBuilder’s Talent Compensation Portal, developed by Personified, provides clients with real-time access to an in-depth analysis of base salaries by position – using CareerBuilder job seeker data. Clients can choose to segment the data by several key influencers including industry, experience, education, skill set and company size. This portal allows companies to understand the current market rate for a position and gain a better understanding of positions with high turnover and why others may be difficult to fill. Niche Sites - CareerBuilder continues to add to its ever-growing list of targeted job sites, with the recent launches of food service and restaurant site, www.JobsonTheMenu.com and health care site, www.MiracleWorkers.com. Additional niche sites include www.CareerRookie.com, a site aimed at connecting students and recent graduates with internships, part-time jobs and entry-level positions, and www.WorkInRetail.com, which focuses on the retail field.
