Indeed finally unveiled its resume search service officially taking them from the world’s largest search engine for jobs to a more conventional employment site. We say bring it on. Indeed has always done a good job at keeping their tools easy-to-use and with the added functionality, we’re glad someone is giving the traditional sites (Monster, CareerBuilder) a run for their money. With that in mind, the resume search service on Indeed.com is free (for now).
The resume search is a straightforward search tool, identical to the site’s job search. Searches can be easily narrowed by simply selecting from a menu that appears with search results. We think one of the coolest features is the ability to roll over a job seekers name to reveal a preview of the resume without a click. Nice design.
Job seekers will appreciate the simplicity of the system. It accepts all forms of resumes and will import a user’s LinkedIn profile. Users can elect to keep the resume private and not findable in a search, or make it public. In the latter case, the contact information is stripped out. Employers use a form to contact the job seeker, who decides whether or not to respond. Job seekers can also apply to jobs they find on Indeed with their resume.
As with any candidate profile, Newton users can simply cut and paste a profile of the applicant into the system and use the parsing engine to add a candidate to their applicant tracking software.

One of the qualities that we’re most proud of is Newton’s ability to clear the ‘fog of war’ that often envelopes corporate recruiting programs. At the end of the day, the most important benefit that applicant tracking software can provide is visibility. Recruiting is a ‘busy’ business process that creates a massive amount of information. Organizing and managing this information into easy to access, easy to read dashboards is paramount.
We’ve designed Newton’s home page to be ‘air traffic control’ for corporate hiring. See all of the jobs that are important to you at a glance and all of your applicants in the pipelines for those jobs organized by what stage of the process they are in. Newton’s home page creates an automatic staffing report just by logging in and doesn’t require any clicking around. Now, turn on Newton’s enhanced interview tracking feature and get detailed, real-time visibility into each candidates’ interview stage like 1st phone screens, 2nd interviews and even rescheduled interviews automatically. You’ll track the number of phone screens, the number interviews and even reschedules for each candidate right from your home page.
Using Newton’s enhanced interview tracking feature will allow your recruiting team to gather more meaningful and powerful recruiting metrics with very little impact on your hiring managers. Coupled with Newton’s state of the art custom reporting engine, Newton’s interview tracking capabilities empower organizations to continuously improve recruiting efficiency and overall effectiveness.
Newton Software’s Head of Marketing, Joel Passen, was asked to provide his predictions of the top 3 trends in the mid-market applicant tracking software industry that all HR executives and corporate recruiting leaders should be aware of going into 2011. Primarily based on conversations with 100′s of HR executives and corporate recruiters around the US and UK, Joel’s trends are taken from buyers themselves.
Listen to the Podcast to learn what to expect from the applicant tracking industry in 2011.
Newton has made a leap into the European recruiting market by signing Prime RPO, a UK-based recruitment process outsourcing company. Prime RPO picked Newton based on our software’s flexible nature that was easily adaptable to the needs of a UK recruitment outsourcer.
Charlotte Murdoch, Prime RPO’s head of product delivery, spoke openly about why they picked Newton in a recent article on Recruiter UK: “Initially I was sceptical that a US provider would fully understand – and be able to deliver on – what we needed in the UK and globally thereafter,” she said. “But it was refreshing to get guidance from an ex-RPO recruiter who was able to translate the software jargon and what it meant in real terms for our customers and/or users.”
We look forward to continue to gain global market share by showing our international customers the features that have made Newton so successful in the US. These features concentrate on solving fundamental problems for RPOs like applicant experience, hiring manager experience, and user adoption.
