BUCHAREST, ROMANIA--(Marketwire - November 9, 2010) - The burgeoning number of social networks and recruitment Web sites have made it extremely difficult for job seekers to be seen, heard and ultimately matched with suitable positions. This as recruiters are often inundated with resumes -- many irrelevant to, or unqualified for, the position at hand. To address these and similar employment concerns on the global level, a public, free to use database has launched at www.Labels.io to provide recruiters and job seekers a smarter, easier and more effective means of matching specific experience and skills to available positions.
Labels.io was developed on the premise that professionals are defined by three specific criteria: past employer portfolio, skill sets, and personality. In kind, this new database solely focuses on providing this specific subset of information about a job seeker, foregoing the usual executive summary, functional expertise, key accomplishments and other corporate talk unduly padding those multi-page résumés and CVs. Job seekers may list -- and recruiters may access -- credential information completely free of charge. Only those employers that wish to post a job listing are charged a nominal fee.
"The idea to empower and aid hiring managers was born out of a sheer necessity, given how difficult it has become to find professionals with specific skills, abilities, experiences and work histories," said Octavian Popescu, founder and CEO of Labels.io. "Three, four and five-page résumés are boring and unnecessary, diluting key information needed by employers to quickly and easily identify qualified candidates."
Labels.io focuses on eliciting and organizing only the most critical information about a job seeker, and making that information highly visible to employers seeking particular candidate attributes. Candidates also add a personal "pitch" -- one paragraph that showcases their personality and otherwise allows them to sell themselves as the best person for the job. Job seekers receive a personalized profile URL (i.e., http://labels.io/YOU), which they may propagate at their discretion throughout social networks, on résumés and CVs, and other high visibility resources.
Because Labels.io is an open database accessible by the public at large, anyone can contact a job seeker or employer via the provided contact form, which does not avail personal e-mail or other contact details. Users may then access Labels.io's personal profile reporting function to view a variety of visitor statistics, including the last 10 page visitors with referrers, top 10 referring search engine keywords, candidate's 5 most valuable (searched for) skills, which skills generated the most page visits via internal site search, and other key metrics.
