New York, NY (PRWEB) March 25, 2010

A new business network has been launched as a response to the shortcomings of referral and recommendation networking concept, defined by popular trendsetters, such as linkedIn and Xing. People join these networks to link to someone else and expand their networks. These networks could be growing for no good reason since most members are just listed and soon become ghosts.

At SkilliPedia, however, professionals and business services get recommended by what they can do - not by their friends and friends' friends. Networking, at SkilliPedia, is mainly based on the real value of people and companies.

"Most people oblige when asked to recommend one of their friends or colleagues," said Faisal Abdelli, CEO. "At SkilliPedia, people and businesses build reputation - not connections."

SkilliPedia members could be professionals, suppliers or buyers.

Students, job seekers and professionals create and establish their online professional profiles before they need them. Using the step-by-step online resume builder, they can create a resume that summarizes their work experience, skills, education, publications, awards and honors. Job seekers can specify their target job, companies, locations and preferred work shift when they opt to distribute their resume. To make a good impression, job seekers should showcase their skills and expertise, mentioned in their resume, by publishing how-to articles and answering questions.

As for business services, they are listed according to their ratings and reviews. Business owners use their business profiles to showcase their services, products, events, startup and business applications. If they are hiring, their can submit their vacancies and receive daily job applications' report and relevant resumes.

Users invite only relevant contacts to their networks. Once a contact accepts an invitation, s/he will be notified of any relevant activities. Job seekers, for instance, may choose to be notified only when an employer list a new vacancy. Users' networks cannot share contacts and won't consist of connections and connections' connections.

SkilliPedia is a 100% free. All completed profiles have the same visibility and exposure: members don't have to upgrade to a premium account to get featured and listed in search results.
