Sky Radio, CEO Diya Obeid, April 11, 2007

Sky Radio: Most job searches today involve the internet. That is both good and bad. Good because job seekers can apply quickly to a vast array of offers and bad because countless job seekers are doing exactly that. Resulting in mounds of candidates that have to be individually screened and tracked. Our next guest is Diya Obeid he is the CEO and creator of JobDiva. He is determined to loosen up that bottleneck and turn the internet into a more effective engine of employment. He joins us now. Diya Welcome:

Diya: Thank you.

Sky Radio: In what fashion do you assistant in relieving the employer and candidate from this overload of information?

Diya: JobDivas match and searching capabilities are unique in shortening the distance between the employer and the ideal candidate. JobDiva is the only applicant tracking and search engine on the market which enables the employer to electronically sift through millions of resumes and select those few of them who fit the needs based on years of experience without requiring either the candidate or the employer to fill any forms or answer any questions.

Sky Radio: Why would searching resumes for skills by years of experience be significant?

Diya: This is the mechanism in which we narrow piles of electronic resumes to a small list of few who meet the basic qualification that the employers need. In doing so, they will miss the least number of candidates that should be missed. It reduces the risk of missing the best candidates or eliminates it all together. Traditional keyword search engines that work for job boards or search engines that we are all familiar with on the Internet like Yahoo and Google perform inference and the results run the risk of missing some critical output or critical information.

Sky Radio: Now with the growth of technology and of the internet there has been some extensive research and development in the area of artificial intelligence as it applies to search and matching. Why do you think JobDiva offering is unique in this respect?

Diya: That is exactly the point JobDiva is unique because it does not use inference. It doesn’t use sarcastic models in evaluating the resumes and doing some kind franking of the likelihood as it fit to the job. JobDiva uses the information that is stated by the candidate themselves in their resume to eliminate all the noise resulting from the search engines and leave you with the people who meet the basic qualifications the job requires.

Sky Radio: Where do you see job boards fitting into the picture?

Diya: As you stated initially and rightfully so, the job boards have overloaded us with information in the form of resumes and at times in the form of open jobs. There will still remain to be the provider of unfiltered traffic of applicants. They will also remain to be for quite sometime the prevalent advertising media of employment to provide this valuable information and data for us.

Sky Radio: I guess a philosophical question. What are the larger benefits to the public from JobDiva? Making effective use from this overload of information from the internet and shortening the distance between the candidate and the right job for them. JobDiva will greatly continue and continue to contribute to introducing unemployment. In doing so, JobDiva will help to contribute to the growth of the economy.
