NEW COMPANY, TALENTDRIVE, TRANSFORMS THE LANDSCAPE OF ONLINE RECRUITING BY
REVOLUTIONIZING ACCESS TO QUALITY TALENT
TalentDrive Combines Advanced Technology Search Capabilities - The First to Source
Resumes From Over 40,000 Web-Based Locations - With Expert Eyes-On Screening
To Quickly Deliver The Most Qualified Resumes
CHICAGO—June 11, 2007 – TalentDrive, the first company to provide the most
comprehensive online resume sourcing and screening solution, announced today the
availability of its services to recruiters and hiring managers within growing and
established companies around the world. It’s the first company with the capability to pull
resumes from more than 40,000 Web-based locations – including niche job boards, local
community Web sites, social networking sites, university Web sites, etc, - combined with
experienced industry experts who provide objective, eyes-on review of resumes within
Sales, Manufacturing and Distribution, Information Technology, Finance/Accounting, and
R&D/Engineering.
With more than 35 million resumes dispersed over 40,000 Web-based locations, recruiters
and hiring managers are spending more than 65% of their time searching the Web for
qualified resumes. TalentDrive provides a new approach to online resume sourcing by
applying Metcalfe’s Law(which states that the value of a network grows by the square of
the size of the network) and expanding a company’s ability to search every Web-based
location instead of a select few, creating a larger “network” of resumes that will
significantly increase the number of quality resumes found.
“I was inspired to create a service like TalentDrive during my previous venture, CPRi, a
marketing staffing firm I sold to Aquent, the largest marketing and creative staffing
company, in 2007,” said Sean Bisceglia, experienced entrepreneur and CEO of
TalentDrive. “While at CPRi, I witnessed first hand the positives and negatives of online
recruiting. We found that working with big job boards wasn’t enough and expanded our
reach to niche job boards, online social networks and community sites, but it wasn’t easy
to manage all the different Web-based locations and I knew we weren’t reaching all of
them. I thought, what if there was a technology that could connect all of these Webbased
locations in one easy solution? I looked to see if there was such a service and
couldn’t find one.”
The technology does not stop there. Qualified resumes are then pulled through a filter
where the resumes are scored through a set of highly defined algorithms. From there
U.S.-based industry experts personally review each resume, evaluating and selecting the
right individuals who match specific standards and qualifications to provide a pipeline of
the most qualified talent, ultimately resulting in more quality hires.
“According to the Society for Human Resources Professionals (SHRM) more than 90% of
HR people are now using the Internet to recruit. TalentDrive provides a candidate
sourcing solution that enables companies to leverage the Internet as a recruiting tool
more efficiently and effectively, increasing a hiring manager’s productivity by 90%,” said
Bisceglia. “I see us as the Orbitz of online resume sourcing. By connecting with every
possible Web-based location a resume could be posted on and applying advanced
search technology with expert eyes-on review, we ultimately provide the most qualified
resumes from the largest pool of candidates.”
TalentDrive is headquartered in Chicago and New York with plans to open three new
offices in major cities within the next several months. Additionally, over the next two
years, TalentDrive plans to expand globally, leveraging minority investor, Aquent’s, 70
worldwide offices.
