Job Boards

For a job board to be successful, it needs a critical mass of both job seekers and advertisers. But the bigger the board becomes, the more difficult it is for employers and candidates to find one another. There are so many opportunities that candidates have a difficult time sorting through them all. And employers are deluged with unmanageable numbers of responses to each posting. And because they lack effective tools for rapidly identifying candidates from your database, its value goes largely on unrealized.

Burning Glass helps you enhance your offerings to both groups. Its resume parsing technologies facilitate candidate registration and allow for more uniform, branded resume presentation. Its advanced artificial intelligence enables job seekers to find and be alerted of opportunities just by uploading their resume and it puts recruiters in command of the most intuitive and effective tools available for screening and searching large numbers of resumes.

With faster registration, more relevant opportunities on the site, and more targeted alerts, candidate participation rises. With more candidates and more value-added features, more employers will choose to advertise on your job board. And with powerful, easy-to-use technologies for searching the database, you will be able to bring in new revenue streams altogether while significantly differentiating what you offer.

For Job Seekers

Burning Glass helps you improve candidate experience from the very start. Our LensXRay™ resume parsing engine will extract hundreds of resume facts directly from the candidate's resume with industry leading accuracy. It handle most major document formats and isn't stumped tables or other non-standard structures, giving you the flexibility to accept virtually any resume. All the job seeker needs to do is upload a resume and they are registered. Or use the resume to pre-populate a registration form so that the job seeker can review their information and add to it as appropriate. With no tedious forms to complete, candidates can be on the site searching for jobs more quickly. Using LensXRay™, leading job boards have experienced up to 35% reductions in abandoned registrations and up to 25% increases in the percentage of new registrants who actually go on to apply for a job. Alternatively, you can choose to use the time saved to focus the registration process on a higher value assessment questionnaire.

Once they are registered, JobMatch™ makes it easier for candidates to find opportunities that are right for them. Based simply on the candidate's resume, JobMatch™ can sort through hundreds of thousands or even millions of postings at a time to return the most relevant jobs within seconds. Unlike other technologies, JobMatch™ does not require candidates to complete a profile or to specify blunt keywords. Because the technology is so user-friendly, there are no training or adoption issues.

When it's easier for candidates to find appropriate postings, advertisers benefit as well. Since job seekers can find what they are looking for more quickly, advertisers will enjoy increased candidate flow. At the same time, they will notice improved candidate quality, as candidates are directed toward the job openings that fit them best.

Finally, JobMatch™ helps you build stronger relationships with passive candidates. Because we match people to jobs based not on keywords but rather on their entire portfolio of skills and experiences, Burning Glass enables you to send out job alerts that are more tailored to the job seeker - all without requiring passive candidates to complete a complex profile. As a result, your communications will seem more relevant, thereby improving candidate trust in your site and boosting response rates.

For Employers

Advertisers see high response volumes as both blessing and curse. More applications means a better selection of talent but it also means more time spent weeding out all of the unqualified job seekers. Using LensMatch™, you can help advertisers focus their attention on the most relevant applicants by offering optional resume screening services. For each resume and posting, LensMatch™ computes a score measuring the statistical probability that this position would be a likely next step on the job seeker's career path. As a result, you can rank order responses based on their degree of fit with the job.

LensMatch™ can also help you open up your resume bank as a viable source of talent. With conventional search tools, the more candidates you have on file, the more cumbersome it is to find relevant talent. A simple keyword search could return hundreds or even thousands of resumes. So your databank goes largely unused. Burning Glass turns this formula on its head by enabling recruiters to leverage the full power of your resume bank and by providing you with increasing returns to scale. Because our intelligent search tools are capable of analyzing millions of resumes and postings simultaneously, the bigger your database, the more likely our engine is to find a perfect match. So as your traffic grows, you will enjoy greater competitive strength as well: with so many candidates on file, you are bound to have the one the advertiser is looking for already. This makes your database a hot source in its own right and enables you to open up a new revenue flow by charging employers a supplement for accessing the database.

Many technologies fail to deliver because they demand too much of users. Not only is LensMatch™ the most effective technology available but it is also the most intuitive. LensMatch™ searches directly from unstructured position descriptions and includes a range of tools so recruiters can search in whatever way they find most effective. Resume Cloning™ allows recruiters to search more readily based on their intuitive feel for client requirements by finding more candidates similar to one they know to be a good match. Smartlist™ returns candidates with the skills, experiences, and career paths that make them a good match for a free text job description. And for those recruiters who still like keyword searching, LensMatch™ allows them to narrow their search to specific sections of the resume. Or narrow search results further around specific geographies, industries, levels, skills, or years of experience.

Also, our LensXRay™ parsing engine helps you strengthen the value of your brand to advertisers. By reformatting candidate CV's in a branded template, candidates become more readily identifiable as having been sourced from your site, thereby increasing your visibility within client organizations.
