If you are looking for a REALLY cool tool, www.zubedjobs.com is one place to look. Recently, a couple of recruitment blogs have picked up on a new product from my company, Zubed Geospatial, called zubedjobs. Please excuse this direct approach but I wanted to explain to you just what ZubedJobs is, as we have yet to formally launch it - the beta version you'll see is both UK and IT centric. Jim Stroud in The Recruiters Lounge recently said, “I am overjoyed and doing virtual cartwheels because someone, somewhere, has finally… FINALLY… created something that I have been wanting for a very long time.” (http://www.therecruiterslounge.com/2008/07/11/cool-tool-zubed-i-think-i-love-you/) ZubedJobs is a map-based recruitment site, enabling employers to search for job seekers by their location and skills and display these results on a map. Job Seekers upload their CVs and our semantic, human-language, technology extracts their employment history, skills and roles, to a structure that enables auto-matching against job requirements. In the process, all names and personal contact data is scrubbed so that the job seeker remains in total control of exactly which potential employers get to see this information. Employers upload their job requirements and obtain matches against job seekers with the right experience in the right location. Additionally, job seekers can find both companies with existing requirements and companies that have historically employed their skills; this historic data is unique in supporting job seekers making constructive speculative applications. Communication between employer and job seeker can be initiated and tracked directly from within ZubedJobs and doesn’t require any third party agency involvement. This functionality is free to both employer and job seeker. Where we make our money is in supplying this solution to companies wishing to manage their own internal talent pools and databases of received applicant CVs and pre-qualified contractors. It provides a highly cost effective way of recruiting, turning not to the open market first but to known and new job seekers that can be immediately viewed as pins on a map. If you wish to find out more about ZubedJobs then I would be very happy answer any questions you may have. I believe that all advances in functionality are welcome, so well done Yahoo!

So this review was geared more toward the researchers and sourcers who are a part of this community.
