One-click transfer of rsum data - 06/2001

ST. LOUIS ñ Sendouts.com, purveyor of the staffing industryís first and only web-based applicant tracking system to offer collaboration across firms, has added another resource to its repertoire: a rsum parsing engine that virtually eliminates data entry.

Using state-of-the-art data extraction tools, Sendouts.com is offering users of its Sendouts Pro applicant tracking system a one-click transfer of rsum content into the applicationís database. After importing the desired rsum into Sendouts Pro, the sophisticated parsing engine is able to determine which information belongs in the respective fields of your candidate profile ñ contact information as well as experience and education.

By simply clicking on an icon, data such as company name, hire dates, job titles and responsibilities, is transferred automatically field-by-field. Because the data extracted from a rsum is specific, the searches a user conducts will be more complete and result in better matches between job orders and candidates.

ìOur new rsum parsing engine, available free through Sendouts Pro 2.0, eliminates the need to manually retype, convert and reformat candidate information when transferring it to the Sendouts Pro applicant tracking system,î explained Sendouts.com president, Don Breckenridge, Jr. ìIncorporating this data extraction tool into the Sendouts Pro software strengthens our commitment to give recruiters faster and more cost-effective ways to manage their day-to-day activities.î

With Sendouts Pro, the everyday details of recruiting professionals are integrated into a single process, allowing users to concentrate on the larger goal of making placements. In addition to automating the placement process, Sendouts Pro offers third-party vendor services, such as Brainbenchís online skills testing, and arrin Systemís background and reference checks, to help recruiters work more efficiently and more effectively.

Sendouts Pro also offers something that no other product in its class has ñ the ability to search and collaborate within an online community of recruiters to fill open job orders and place potential candidates. All searching is done in a ìblindedî manner, meaning that the pertinent recruiting information stays hidden until both firms agree to split the placement fee.
