Article about Candidate Matching Software for HR from Interbiznet
This is an interesting article for those of you who have hiring responsibility. The author of this article is named John Sumser and I have been reading his daily writings for a very long time.

There is no doubt that he makes a very good point in this article and for all of you in the Semiconductor Industry who have hiring responsibility, quickly go and sign up for his daily newsletter.

There is no doubt that as time goes on, more and more individuals are using the internet to manage some part of their career. As a result, companies need to really look at how they deal with the data, how they can bring to the surface the important stuff and how they can identify those candidates that need to be spoken to for current openings. There is a saying that goes "The only thing worse than having 200 resumes on your desk is 300 resumes on your desk."

We are seeing that there are more and more openings in the semiconductor Industry on a daily basis. Since the launch of this site, there has been an amazing increase in traffic as well as communication to people who we would have never been able to communicate with before. Interviews are being set up and I am confident that hires will start happening shortly as a direct result of Semiconductor Jobs.

What does this all have to do with sorting software? The answer is easy, tell us about what you need and we will go and find it and with a little luck, bypass the inefficiencies that currently exist out there.
