Finding a perfect candidate

Before a recruiter finds a candidate to invite for an interview, they need to look through dozens and sometimes even hundreds of resumes. It takes time, effort, and even money. If a recruiter’s monthly salary is about $6,000 and they spend 1-2 months to find a proper candidate, it means this candidate costs a company $6,000-12,000. So, why not save this money every time a company needs a new employee?

Searching dozens of job platforms

Candidates choose different platforms to place their CVs, and recruiters have to surf all the major platforms to never let a proper candidate skip. It is also time-consuming, and you never know where that very applicant is going to place their resume.

Wasting time for irrelevant candidates

Only a few of a vast amount of resumes are relevant, while others just waste recruiters’ time and thus companies’ resources. Alas, a specialist just can’t skip this stage because until they read a CV, they can’t know if it is a waste of time or an applicant the company needs badly. Important Statistics recruitment statistics

~ 63% of recruiters claim they lack suitable candidates
~ 42% of recruiters state candidates don’t reply to emails and calls
~ 23% of recruiters get a vast amount of unqualified junk resumes from job sites
~ $6,000 is spent by a company to find one specialist
~ 56% of recruiters find hiring procedures too lengthy
~ 39 days is an average time to hire a new employee
~ 4.4% is a US unemployment rate, which is approx. 7 million unemployed people

As one can see, there are millions of unemployed people and a great number of recruiters challenged to bring skillful specialists to their organizations. And these two parties just can’t meet — like Romeo and Juliet, though not because of their families but because of the poorly structured recruiting system and lack of helpful tools. Our Solution We offer to create an app with a dynamic search of candidates from major job platforms on the Internet using keywords. The app is useful both for recruiters and candidates. Such applicant tracking system scans a candidate’s profile and shows them relevant vacancies with recruiters’ contact information. After a recruiter places an opening, the app finds candidates in its internal base and on major job platforms, scans their profiles, and provides a recruiter with a list of relevant candidates with their contacts. Killer features:

Search by geolocation
Manual search by filters so that a recruiter can find a candidate with specific skills etc.
Sharing a vacancy/candidate’s profile
