Austin, TX (July 2, 2007) – With job security a thing of the past, itzbig stepped into the void today with an interactive network that connects talented professionals with appropriate job opportunities at companies hiring in Texas.
itzbig (www.itzbig.com) takes a revolutionary approach to the job exploration process. Unlike traditional public job boards, itzbig emphasizes quality, security and feedback to create an environment that welcomes both employees, who ordinarily might not be seeking a new job, and employers.
"One of the things that is unique about itzbig is its structured data approach, or matching, scoring and ranking mechanisms, which allows potential employees and the hiring companies to better assess the fit,” said analyst Kevin Wheeler, Global Resources Learning, Inc. "In essence, the qualifications of the employee and the requirements of the employer are matched, scored and ranked. This ensures that potential employees and employers receive immediate feedback on where they are in the process and in turn creates a positive, productive relationship from the perspective of both parties.”
Just as important is the fact that the prospective employees can anonymously pursue opportunities in a secure environment, said Jim Hammock, CEO and a co- founder of itzbig.
"Potential job seekers are extremely concerned about protecting their identity,” said Hammock, the former CEO of Hire.com. "The most talented employees are not going to explore another position if they believe their identity might be compromised. We've created a network that shields the prospective employees, allowing them to explore the changing landscape for the most appropriate position, and then act on it.”
itzbig also gives prospective employees the ability to control their job search in that they decide what their input is for each respective position. If they're unsure of what to emphasize in their profile, they can engage in an online dialogue with recruiters and hiring companies, who can provide more detailed feedback on the position.
The ultimate goal is to create a quality experience, which is another reason itzbig decided to stage the rollout of the network, beginning with companies that are seeking to fill technology or IT positions in Texas.
"itzbig's decision to focus on a vibrant segment of the market, rather than trying to be all things to all people has really impressed me,” said Brian Powell, Director of Recruiting of Rackspace Managed Hosting, Ltd. "The company is in this for the long haul, which is why I'll continue to use them to fill my positions.”
Finally, Hammock notes that itzbig's measured approach will also appeal to prospective employees.
"They understand that in today's economic client that jobs are tenuous,” he said. "In responding to that reality, we've created a network that offers them a safe, yet powerful plan B.”
