Talentty Widgets - Thanks Gautam Ghosh, we are listening you

August 26, 2008

We have launched first Job Widget (is it first in India to launch a small widget? probably yes as big players haven’t done yet, so we thought to serve the need) .

Why are we thanking Gautam - Gautam is thought leader & top blogger. He has been passionately suggesting (here, here) that job sites in India are not reaching to audience/users with the new media like Widgets, Social Networking Platforms. We took him seriously and implemented few widgets. For now IGoogle is launched and in coming days widget for Blogspot, WordPress, Orkut will be launched.

Widget, so what - We are not claiming this widget is great thing we have done. No, not at all. But yes we are doing in what we truly believe in Talentty “Let job reach to professionals”. As Web is evolving as a platform, less and less user are coming to job sites directly and more spend time on Orkut, Facebook and many such social network or have their personalized platform like IGoogle, Netvibes. So we thought let’s make an attempt to reach them. We hope these will bring values to employers posting jobs in Talentty as via the widget their jobs will spread much further and to deeper in the web.

Comments, suggestions are most welcome.

Online recruitment != CV Database

July 10, 2008

Oh the title is little geeky. :) Online recruitment is NOT CV Database

We at Talentty are speaking to lot of employers, hearing what they have to say, showing what we have to offer and basically sharing thoughts. This is primarily to understand what works for them and what doesn’t. Also creating an environment of co-learning.

I was surprised that many employers still consider job board as CV database :) I requested 5 minutes of their time to project how online recruitment has evolved with arrival of web2.0, social media, etc

Here are my thoughts as I shared with few employers.

Online recruitment is NOT

-NO longer only job listing

-NO longer about bunch of CV (randomly forwarded to employers by jobboard/site)

-NO longer about post a job and job seeker/career seeker will come

Online recruitment is

-Engaging your prospective employee/associates

-Projecting your image, brand, HR values, Organizational excellence

-Creating target audience

-Using new media to reach to prospective employee/associates (Blog, Twitter, Wiki, niche blog authors)

I have few more thoughts to share in next article.

Any comments, thoughts?

We are already live

March 29, 2008

Hi,

Talentty.com is already one week old. Apologies for a delayed messaging on Blog as we had quite a bit of task to handle ..

Just one week, we have dozens of employer posting jobs and being the first ones to believe we are offering something different. Thank you, we have long miles to go. I must admit, the online recruitment industry is hugely populated with many sites trying to do the ’same thing’. At Talentty.com, we have tried to be slightly different in offering following unique features

1. Specialized JobBoard

What it is : There are hugely popular job sites in India having million of jobs, they make perfect sense for big corporates to invest huge sum of money to put their job on main page but how about that small to medium range company who can’t always afford to do that, how can they list their jobs so that it “always shows up” having an unique place rather than getting crowded in bigger ocean.

That’s where we believe Talentty.com’s Specialized JobBoard like Software.talentty.com, php.talentty.com or bpo.talentty.com, etc makes our employers to list job prominently and target the audience.

Also from the professional (job seeker, we call them professional …job seeker is so old fashioned) point of view, if I specialize in Software Development, why do I need to spend hours in digging the software jobs among million on unrelated, aggregated industry jobs??

We would love to hear if our approach really going to benefit ? We are ready to hear your comments, we believe without that we can’t grow.

2. Matching Engine :-

Every day 1000’s of jobs are getting posted and million of professional looking for a career change.

HR professionals have better things todo rather than spending 80% time in filtering & hiring.

Professional have a busy career and reputations to manage while he/she is looking for a change. So absolutely it doesn’t make sense for them to spend hours in office time or personal time to filter million jobs.

So we thought why not we use the new technology, content matching, aspiration-requirement  matching between professional and employer via our Matching Engine and reduce the effort required to filter.

Matching Engine is in BETA stage but we intend to offer path-breaking solutions to our community.

Do you have any insight on what is being overlooked in industry? We will love to hear.

3. Anonymous Profile/Private Profile

At Talentty.com, Professional’s profile is 100% private. Yes, in the age of Social network, does it makes sense?? We believe it makes sense because profession and personal life are 2 different things and we all are opening up to new world. There may be a day when all this will merge to one. For now, we see million of professionals prefer to stay “hidden/passive”. They have a better job, better life and better things todo, so they are not interested to be listed on a career portal/job site.

Therefore we thought, we must hear them. Using this Private profile and our matching Engine, such Potential passive professionals will get more direct info and take decision when it matters to them.

4. Startup Friendly

We eat, drink and live with Statups. Our team has worked with statrups in the past  and we believe they are the best gift to a society, nation and individual. We at talentty.com, have a spcialized JobBoard : http://startup.talentty.com/

We are also going to offer Startup companies to post their job in Startup JobBoard FREE, always.

Also we believe being new entrant to market, we will hear you 200%. We are offering FREE service so it doesn’t add to your cost. Also we have an existing community of 1000’s daily subscribers from our sister concern JobMilan.

You are most welcome. We are here to bring innovation and we are determined. It will only make more sense when you let us know, correct us, comment us and may be just say “Hi” :)

Thanks,

Santosh
