One of the aspects of JobDiva that I find since I’ve been in the sales end of the business for a lot of years is the ability to interrogate the database of resumes. We probably have well over one hundred fifty thousand resumes in there. We do have all the information within those resumes, where people work, who they work for. For instance, I met one who looks at a particular company that we have been working with trying to become a vendor and start to understand the type of technologies they use and how they use it in relationship to other customers that we might have.
For a lot of years, we started in the early phases of advertising in newspapers and gathering resumes, word of mouth, looking for people in all the old traditional ways. Later evolved into, as companies matured I’ve worked for some of the larger consulting firms, they created their own database and interrogated them with text editing or text searches things of that nature.
We had looked at or the thoughts of a JobDiva but in very different ways. I also thought that if you new every person using oracle and you new every consultant using oracle you can somehow splice them together. Today with JobDiva we have that information. We know everybody that is available in a particular market place, with a particular skill that has posted their resume.
The industry has changed in a way that has become more email centric; it’s become more webs centric where companies like us in the middle of Morris County, New Jersey can reach out and be competitive against local companies within lets say a Minnesota area, Minneapolis and we are beating them to the punch.
We are putting people, in not from our area but from their area who actually work for other companies but the companies did not pick up on them and they are on their list also. Even though they are out their looking for a job they may be looking in the old way. We had several requirements come in, and within two hours we were able to provide resumes, were able to tech the people out via the internet and provide them to the customer within two hours. I remember when if you could get a person to a customer in three days you were doing pretty good. That was like wow that was really great. It is certainly a shrunk down to those times to this. The method of looking and the method of searching have change both the recruiting function and also the sales function.
Now we are out there playing as a small company against some of the larger consulting firms people who supply temporary help and we are able to compete just as well as anybody else.
