Our Value Proposition #1: Avoiding the HR Black Hole

As referenced in a previous post, your resume has on average 6-9 seconds of evaluation time before it's trashed or moved on. 

6 seconds. It's shockingly short.  

Come on, fellow nerds, get out your stop watches (your Android or iPhone apps) and time it.  Now time it with your resume out in front of you.  How far did you get?

This assumes that your resume is even looked at by human eyes.  It may not be.  Resume screening software is increasingly utilized to screen resumes before a human does.

How many times have you applied to a position that you know for sure you are qualified for and not heard back? ... At all?

That, my friends is the Black Hole.  I find with Technology jobs, it's a little worse.  Come on, what do us Recruiter / HR types really know about writing code?  I saw job descriptions back in 2001 asking for 10 years of Java development!  Really? 

So, our value proposition is this:  Bypass the HR Black Hole.  I didn't make it up.  I did start to use it on my own, but it's a phenomenon as clear as the sun rising and setting: you send in your resume and it's like it disappeared.

Not with us.

We have relationships with the actual hiring managers - tech guys and gals, just like you, who know what they are looking at.  So when we help you apply for a job (you aren't going to work for us after all - we're helping you go to work directly at the client company i.e. hired by them, full time), you bypass HR and the Black Hole, your resume gets more than 6-9 seconds of view time, and a technology professional and the decision-maker evaluates what they see  in front of them. 

There's more to what we do for you in aiding your quest for the next step in your career, and we'll post about that in the future.  For now, we invite you to think about the value proposition and avoid the HR Black Hole. 

Check out posts for what's available.

Introduction: About Tech:Job

Hi There,

This is Tech:Job, a blog about Technology Jobs.

We'll blog about current trends, skills, languages, and include new posts for jobs you won't find on sites like Dice, Monster, CareerBuilder or Indeed. Which also means the hiring manager won't have 1,000 resumes to look at before they see yours.

As the site develops, we'll have posts about specific jobs and in specific locales. There will also be relevant job searching tips and info, like tips to polish your resume, what to do (and not do) in an interview. Possibly even job interview horror stories and humorous anecdotes.

Thanks for checking us out!
