CareerBuilder Launches HireInsider

June 7, 2010 – CareerBuilder has launched a free tool called hireINSIDER that helps to remove some of the guesswork from the application process by enabling job seekers to see how they stack up against other applicants for a job. By veiwing qualifications of other candidates, job seekers are able to better assess if they are a viable candidate for the job and the likelihood of an employer contacting them. hireINSIDER aggregates user-generated information from all applicants for a particular job listing, protecting the privacy of each applicant. Job seekers can also sign up to receive a free Hiring Status Report. In exchange for sharing where they are in the hiring process, they receive an update on what the aggregate applicant pool reported – how many were contacted by the employer, interviewed, hired or were not contacted. “hireINSIDER is a powerful tool that not only helps you to understand why you're not hearing back from an employer, it provides direction for your job search and desired career path,” said Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America. “hireINSIDER also benefits employers who may not have the time or resources to respond to an increasing amount of applications in a tough economy.”
