Resumes and cover letters provide some insight into a potential job candidate’s skills and experience, but these documents are, in their very nature, biased. Any job seeker is going to claim they’re highly qualified--and that means resumes don’t always offer a clear picture of a candidate’s abilities. For employers, this often leads to poor hiring matches and greater turnover rates.
That’s why a new website, RemarkableHire, is offering a way for recruiters to gain a comprehensive view of their candidates. The site assesses a candidate’s performance on online communities to gather social evidence of their talent. Here’s how it works: When tech talent contribute to online communities like StackOverflow, GitHub, and Dribbble, there are numerous ways their peers can implicitly endorse their work, in the form of likes, follows, or votes of approval. RemarkableHire scans this data and gathers it to provide an unbiased, collective view of the capabilities of these professionals.
By putting a social component into the hiring process, recruiters can gain a comprehensive view of a person’s skills and abilities, as evidenced by their interactions with their peers. Now, employers can locate candidates who may not actively be looking for work, but are the top contenders in their tech communities and may be open to new opportunities.
