FASTool Applicant Prescreening Service Prevents Resume Overload

New Service allows Recruiters and Hiring Managers to Easily and Inexpensively Manage the Influx of Applicants from Job Postings.

(PRWEB) January 28, 2004 --Years of slow employment growth and the ability of applicants to easily apply for positions through job boards has brought on resume overload" - the flood of applicants for each posted position. With the launch of the FASTool Applicant Prescreening Service, helpUhire Solutions now provides a way for recruiters and hiring managers to quickly sort through all these applicants.

FASTool (short for Focused Assessment and Selection Tool) does the initial screening for you, allowing you to quickly find the best applicants for your position. We provide you with the key details of the applicant in a quick, easy to read format. FASTool also provides detailed summary information, so you can get a better feel of whether the candidate will meet your requirements before you even open their resume.

Alice Snell of iLogos Research, a research firm that benchmarks staffing best practices, reported in an article published on the Electronic Recruiting Exchange (http://www.erexchange.com/) that online pre-screening is the next generation of recruitment automation tools. Instead of the candidate pushing information to the recruiter in a resume document, web-based pre-screening allows the recruiter to pull information from the candidate" she said in the report. A simple online questionnaire makes it easier than ever before to obtain skill sets from applicants."

The FASTool Applicant Prescreening Service works with all major job boards, online classifieds, your corporate web site, etc., so your decision on where to recruit is not limited. And being a web-based service, FASTool does not require the purchase of any hardware or software.
