WebLoom Recruiter Description

For the "Careers" or "Employment" area of your company web site

The Web is rapidly changing the recruiting function. The universal access to the web by recruiters and candidates alike is rendering the old paper resume' based techniques obsolete.

In order to remain competitive and successful in recruiting endeavors, recruiters will need to understand and adapt to the effect the Web is having on the way they do their jobs.

WebLoom Recruiter makes it easy to use the Web to enhance recruiting

WebLoom Recruiter was designed specifically to let you use Web-based recruiting techniques. As a totally Web based application, WebLoom Recruiter lets both recruiters and candidates interact anywhere and anytime they have access to the Web.

The strength of the Web in recruiting

Because of the universal access of both recruiters and candidates, WebLoom Recruiter overcomes some significant shortfalls of both paper resume' and printed ad techniques. Stronger relationships are formed with potential candidates. Relationships can be established with candidates in more locations and on the candidate's own timetable - not just when a candidate happens to see a printed ad. Once a relationship is established, the information from the candidate is obtained electronically eliminating re-keying by recruiters. It can be kept up to date by candidates themselves further reducing recruiter workload and ensuring that recruiters are not limited by out-of-date paper resume' information.
