In a study conducted by Burning Glass using data mined from real-time job listings, we found that green jobs are compensated an average of $4,776 more than non-green jobs and that differences in salary were greatest among jobs requiring post-secondary education or some college credits, suggesting a substantial return for individuals who pursue certain types of technical certifications and training in green skills beyond high school.

“We moved candidates into our system much faster, with more accurate and consistent data, and it paid for itself within six weeks.”

Burning Glass solutions leverage artificial intelligence to read and understand resumes and learn from real life patterns of placement, deploying the industry’s best parsing technology to render your resume database more useable and your recruitment brand more valuable.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:

"Focus/Career definitely saves time for staff as well as for clients. It beats the system we used previously and is especially helpful because clients can access it anywhere. Focus/Career makes the process of updating, printing, and accessing a resume much easier...I feel that Focus/Career helps a lot."
