Coming Soon!
One of our goals for SourceSimple for 2009 is to maximize our use of technology to deliver a higher level of service while maintaining our famously low price point. We’ve tried numerous off-the-shelf applications to accomplish this objective but none have been satisfactory. Our chosen path is to be the low-cost provider, which means we use economies of scale to prosper; the existing applications in the industry are all designed for low volume, high price business models.
We’ve begun the process of creating a home-grown technology solution. The first step is currently in place — a filter that should minimize multiple downloads of the same resume. If you think about it, we pay for each resume we download but only charge our clients one low flat fee per campaign; one of our greatest sources of waste is downloading the same resume several times from several resumes, paying double or even triple for the same resume. Since we’ve already implemented this filter, you should see an immediate side effect : the bulk of the resumes you receive for a given camapaign will come from the first database we search, with less resumes from the second database, and probably very few from the third. We’ll periodically change the search order of the databases so that we spread our resume views equally among all three.
Within the next 12 months, you should see these technology improvements:
- A “real” account management capacity that tracks active campaigns, past campaigns, and available campaigns
- The ability to set up alerts to motify you of particular account activities or statuses
- A private candidate database that stores all of the resumes you received, with sorting by campaign, date, name, and more
- The ability to receive resumes both by email and in the database, or in the database alone
- Tracking of multiple resumes for the same candidate, with all resumes stored under a common tab
- The ability to download resumes from your private database, to add notes to candidate profiles, and to rank candidates based on qualifications
- Complete statistics for all campaigns, including cost-per-fill and other critical business data
We’ll also be actively soliciting feedback every step along the way to make sure that what we build for you matches your needs as much as possible. This is just the beginning, and we fully intend to continue earning your patronage!
