(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Monster.com launches online tool that aggregates candidate details from the web.
Dubai — Monster.com on Wednesday launched TalentBin by Monster to aid recruiters across the Middle East access candidate profiles aggregated from social sources across the Web.
Through this platform Monster.com aims at finding the ‘unfindable’ talent using a storehouse of actionable information and web-based recruiting tools. TalentBin not only automates and streamlines the talent discovery process via automated site monitoring interpretation and matching but also simplifies the recruiting workflow allowing recruiters to do more in less time.
“We are focused on fulfilling the void which existed in the market” Sanjay Modi managing director of the India/Middle East/Southeast Asia/Hong Kong regions at Monster said in an interview with Khaleej Times.
“Technical talent is notoriously difficult to access and recruit. Many are not active job seekers and therefore are unlikely to have uploaded a resume to a database or created a web profile which makes them unfindable. However relevant talent is spending time online and leaving their footprints demonstrating the professional skills that make them desirable candidates. This makes way for recruiters to find the unfindable in time and at the right place” he said.
By harnessing the vast amount of professionally relevant information people share across the social web TalentBin by Monster finds potential job candidates by assembling profiles using current professional activities from relevant sites. By making sense of candidate social activity and compiling those details into a rich professional profile complete with contact information recruiters in the Middle East can now find many previously undiscoverable candidates — including those not actively seeking a new job.
“What we are collecting is only the information that exists in the public domain” Modi stressed. “We are not at all intrusive in nature and even the data that is being captured on the user’s respective sites is that which users would have made public and not private. We also offer job seekers the option of de-activating their profile on TalentBin if they don’t want them to be showcased.”
In a recent survey conducted by Monster.com among companies in the Middle East and India 68 per cent of the respondents feel that it is extremely difficult or difficult to hire talent for niche skills leaving 17 per cent saying it is either not that difficult or easy to find such talent.
“Our survey indicates 87 per cent of respondents agreeing that there is a need for disruptive technology to find relevant talent. We need to look at augmenting how recruitment is approached” Modi added. “The social web is a critical element of today’s recruiting best practices. Our TalentBin by Monster has a specialised communication template assembling candidate profiles from publicly available online sources.”
