Is there a better time to launch a job site than this? With so many people out of work, the opportunity to find a job via the web is appealing to tens of millions.
But brass tacks, most jobs sites just plain suck. Horrible, abominable search functions, relentless spam fro 100% commission sales scams, badly written job descriptions, and a host of other problems that plague the site genre.
Now imagine you are someone rethinking a career choice, or perhaps looking for your first real job out of HS or college.
For those people especially, now there is Zumeo, a new job site based upon the premise of matching the whole person to the org and opp.
Here's how their site describes its strengths:
Discover your strengths...
Do you know your professional strengths? Does your job allow you to leverage your strengths? Are you graduating and looking to find a career that fits you? Zumeo is your answer. Our self-discovery tool helps you identify key aspects of your personality and matches you with jobs that specifically fit you.
Assessment test developed by Zumeo and Career Key®.
The search ends here...
Job search boxes are everywhere. Zumeo realizes that this is intimidating when searching for jobs and internships. What do you search for? What opportunities are available? Is the position filled? Does the job match your strengths? We have answered these questions by building a system that searches for you. Zumeo personally matches you with relevant jobs that fit your strengths. These jobs and internships are current, relevant, and link directly to the companies posting them.
Connect with important people...
Once you have gone through the three step matching process, you can use Zumeo like a professional Facebook or Linkedin. Build your Live Resumé™, research a myriad great businesses, apply for jobs, connect with colleagues, and continually get matched as we add new jobs.
And here's their Tech Crunch 60 Second Pitch:
their message to recruiters focused on helping them reach out to Gen Y, which made me surmise what the answer is to recruiting that generation: a VP title for someone just out of college with no skills, six figures, a seven hour work day, corner office, and lots of power but no actual responsibility.
But seriously, I don't actually feel that way, and the recession is gonna take care of unrealistic expectations but quick. What I like about Zumeo is the emphasis on finding the sort of job that is right for your personality, interests, and work style, so that both worker and employer can be happier with one another.
Another intriguing aspect of the site is that it helps job seekers form relationships with the people that need them and can help them land the right position.
This is important stuff. We are about to experience a major change in the relationships between workers and people -- a change for the better if you think it would be valuable for both companies and people to act less as free agents. At least that's what I expect. And part of that change is that people are going to have to find their passions instead of just larger paychecks. Zumeo can be a big part of that change.
