TalentSpring Delivers New Level of Transparency to Job Seekers, Leads Recruiters to Best Candidates in Specific Job Categories
Imagine applying for a new job and, almost immediately, having the ability to see the level of talent you're competing with and, more importantly, how you stack-up by comparison. Beginning May 18th, that experience becomes a reality with the launch of TalentSpring.
TalentSpring is a new online job board that enables job candidates to submit their resumes for merit scoring by their peers. Once scored, each resume is then sorted to allow for a "best-to-least qualified ranking" in industry-specific job categories including marketing, sales, finance and computer programming.
"Anyone that applies for a job wants to know who they're competing with and if they're a leading candidate, particularly if they're reaching for the next level," said TalentSpring founder and CEO Bryan Starbuck. "Our service delivers this information in a way that enables job candidates to prepare for potential interviews and, on the flipside, to know when they need to move on to the next opportunity."
The new service also provides a valuable tool for recruiters and corporate HR teams seeking to expedite the process of identifying top-tier job candidates.
"Our service eliminates the time-intensive process of sifting through each resume received," said Starbuck. "We pick out the sharpest needles in the resume haystack so that our clients can move quickly in securing the best candidates available."
TalentSpring is the latest company to enter the rapidly-evolving "valuation marketplace" -- a space currently led by pioneering companies including Zillow and Farecast. Both of these companies blend huge amounts of data with advanced math and technology to create more efficient services that not only save consumers and businesses time but also increase focus.
"These companies have done a wonderful job in helping consumers to make better and more informed decisions regarding the purchase of a home and airline tickets," said Starbuck. "TalentSpring allows both job candidates and recruiters to make more informed decisions."
For the next two months, the company will focus on the accumulation of resumes from top candidates while, at the same time, offering 30 days of free service to recruiters and employers that want to experience the service at it ramps up to critical mass. Beginning July 1, the company will offer pricing that begins at $195 per month, per job for those with only a single position to fill. Active recruiters will be able to access candidates for an unlimited number of jobs through special plans.
TalentSpring is an online marketplace that provides the best and most-efficient way to match the highest-ranked talent to the most exceptional jobs. Using its own patented valuation technology, the company brings added control and transparency to job seekers and provides recruiters and employers with a faster, more efficient way to identify top talent in a number of very specific job categories. -TalentSpring
