blogPaul Harrison inquires about JobGravy at OnRec in Chicago
26 September 2008Paul Harrison of Carve Consulting was good enough to interview me regarding the forthcoming JobGravy service at the OnRec Expo earlier this month in Chicago:
Paul alludes to comments made by Gautam Godhwani of Simply Hired. Gautam pointed out that the reason search engines like Google occupy such an important commercial position is because search is such a good indicator of a person’s intent to take immediate action.
Kevin Krim of Yahoo! Hot Jobs later described much room for improvement in techniques used in job search and other job matching applications, suggesting that we can do better at using available information to make the process easier for employers and professionals.
JobGravy answers Kevin’s call for better matching by expanding Gautam’s notion of intent to include a broader set of information about the individual’s interests (i.e. history of intent) in the search process.
JobGravy is under development, with an alpha release to become available in October 2008.
