Fixing technical recruiting: (...) Perhaps this can manage hiring flow on the company side too: tracking, sorting and archiving resumes; managing the interview/hiring process; allowing interviewers to keep and share notes on candidates.
This is exactly where I am going with job4dev.com. My progress has been slow this summer, but I'm planning to get the resume sorting and interview tracking done by the end of the year.
cool! I don't understand how the site works from merely visiting it; it does differentiate itself by listing what look like actual GOOD jobs. What is triage and how does it work? It looks like I need an account to participate.
The triage is still in very early form. While most of the Brazilian listings are posted by actual users, we are still trying to break out of the chicken-and-egg problem everywhere else around the world.
To do that, we are pulling job listings from different sites. However, there is some "post-processing" to be done:
- we need to get information about the company (we only publish job listings from companies we know about).
- We need to add tags to the company page and the listing page.
- We try to break the job description into two parts: one describing what is expected of the candidate, the other describing what the position is about.
So, "triage" is some sort of post-processing queue. We are doing to get these job listings from other sites and to put in our format. We are automating it as much as possible, but there are always some detail that needs to be done by hand.
If you create an account, you'll see that we barely put any copy to explain how it works. I'm just dog-fooding for now. As I find more ways to automate or semi-automate the process, the better this triage system should work.
I don't want to put too much effort on it, though. Even if this system gets to be perfect, we would be no better than any job aggregator like indeed or simply-hired. I'd rather have companies coming directly to our site because we are offering some different service (the hiring process management) than by being a "better aggregator".
