Editor's note: Smart Business explores the smart way of thinking that companies thrive in the digital world. (CNN)--
The job market has failed.
Businesses are running out of resources due to outdated recruitment practices, while talent prospects are being ignored and the industry is stagnant.
This is a growing consensus among industry experts. Google's Personnel Operations Master Laszlo Bock has shortcomings in CVs and the working committee in delivering the most important information.
2 out of 3 CEOs believe their hiring needs to be improved, and even in the event of a recession and record number of degrees, the skill gap has left millions of jobs vacant.
Matt Mickiewicz, CEO of Hired, believes that there is an urgent need for a new model for the market.
Com, that's exactly what it provides.
"The way to find a job is terrible for most people," the Canadian entrepreneur said . ".
"People are submitting resumes to black holes or working with an agency recruiter who thinks you're a dollar symbol and wants to push you to any job and charge a commission.
"The people who are hired have carefully created a top niche --
Ranked talent pipeline, planning candidate Library for the most ideal position.
The company receives thousands of applications per month and filters them through complex algorithms, leaving only the top 6
They showed 7% to leading businesses, including Facebook and Twitter.
Mickiewicz says the concept has taken off "like a rocket.
The company's revenue grew 500% last year, raising $15 million in the final round of financing.
The number of applicants increased by 57% in the last quarter alone, and now more than 1,400 employers are using the service.
Hire personnel position themselves according to the needs of the candidate, assign a career member to each candidate, provide advice and publicity, and negotiate new contracts on a regular basis.
Mickiewicz believes that they provide a platform to communicate more about themselves.
"Our profile allows people to describe their dream characters and talk about their ambitions, while resumes look backwards.
"Businesses can also gain insight into candidates and get samples of jobs that are not available from traditional recruitment methods.
But their main benefits are consistent.
The level of talent, bring better
Suitable for long-term living.
Mickiewicz said that Hired's goal is to become a global "professional market for world knowledge workers" and added that 10 new offices will be opened in 2015.
But they are facing competition to fill new spaces;
Google is developing a data-driven model, and TalentBin and Gild also use matching processes that generate a large number of followers.
Paul Finch, managing director of Konetic, said: "The main organizations are very excited about deep data mining . " Konetic develops technology for recruiters.
"Knowing where their candidates are coming from and their career data to know if they are suitable for a company makes a big difference for them.
"At the highest level, data filtering becomes indispensable.
"One of our largest clients hires 4,500 graduates from 100,000 applicants each year," Finch said . ".
"This is a huge management action that requires significant technical support.
"More and more employers are looking to understand personality and skills.
"Data provides a clearer understanding of the cultural and psychological aspects of things," said Katie Jacobs, deputy editor-in-chief of HR Magazine . ".
"The company wants to know if the candidate is fit and understands their values.
"Many people will deploy their algorithms on social media profiles and materials provided by candidates, which can have serious consequences.
Half of employers disqualify potential employees based on their social activities.
There are also legal issues where employers distribute candidate data without proper permission.
But such a comprehensive analysis is also good.
"One of the problems with hiring is that if thousands of people apply, there is usually no feedback," Jacobs said . ".
"But some data evaluations can automatically generate a report on your strengths and weaknesses.
"It is agreed that the traditional recruitment process is moving towards the way out and that data will play a significant role in replacing it.
This may be the time for the connection culture to start paying off.
