Vital search enhancements on all Internet resources including increased basic criteria searching functionality with expanded detailed criteria options for paid resources, gives recruiters a significant opportunity to better shape and execute their search for accurate and broad results.

For Open Web and Desktop searches, recruiters can select to increase their limits on resume results to cast a wider net across major Internet search engines, community sites and ISPs.

To be able to put these enhancements in place and to see recruiters respond so positively to them excites the team. More importantly, it gives us even more steam to continue finding even more ways to optimize our performance and continue enhancing a tool we truly feel is best-in class.”

The additional searching criteria demonstrate value quickly with users experiencing more optimal search results. Athena Bindel, longtime TalentHook subscriber and recruiter for CTB/McGraw-Hill was one of the first recruiters to try out the new features during TalentHook’s beta testing. Bindel was especially pleased with the new ways to filter and define a search. “I especially like the information and tips that guide you through all of the resume sources you select for your search. I do a lot of Paid resume site searches and one of the challenges is knowing what search parameters can and can’t be used,” she shares. “With TalentHook Sphere, I feel a lot more confident about the search criteria I’m using, knowing where it will work and what I may need to consider to improve my results. The detailed search criteria even lets me define my results by how long a resume has been on a site and lets me factor in salary
ranges and education levels as well. It’s a major improvement on a tool I already liked very much. And best of all, I’m seeing more resumes!”

With the new version in place, TalentHook began a directed effort to enhance TalentHook Sphere further with the addition of over 800 new resume sources. The effort to add resources continues with approximately ten new sites being announced to users, weekly.

With all of those efforts firmly in place, Gonzalez has his team committed to another strong year of service to the recruiting community.

“Our goal and our focus remain consistent. This software was designed to become the tool recruiters rely on to give them quick, easy and streamlined access to candidate resumes online. As the industry has evolves, we meet those challenges for our clients and the industry by pushing the limits of what we can do to improve online resume search. TalentHook Sphere is a strong example of that effort.”
