New Site Uses Video to Combine the Visibility of a Job Board with the Functionality of an Applicant Tracking System, Reinvents How Employers and Job Seekers Connect Online
30 January 30, 2012 – GetHired.com, the most comprehensive video-based social recruiting platform and job board, today announced that it has raised $1.75 million in an oversubscribed round of seed funding. GetHired.com is a free service that empowers job seekers to differentiate themselves in the hiring process by creating video and audio profiles to accompany their resume – while assisting potential employers with applicant discovery and management.
The hiring process often costs employers thousands of dollars per open position – from the expense of posting an available job online, to the time it takes to sort through stacks of resumes and navigate the interview process. GetHired.com is the first job board to embed video and audio capabilities directly into its social recruiting platform so that job seekers can record and submit personal, dynamic responses to an employer’s most pressing pre-screening questions at the start of the hiring process. As a result, employers are able to quickly find the most qualified candidates for their organization, significantly saving time and money.
