Dirty Secret #1: You're not applying to the company; rather you're applying to one and only one job

Many job seekers think that if they apply to Job A, and they're actually a better fit for Job Z, that the employer can figure that out. That couldn't be further from the truth. In reality almost every employer works on the single job, yes/no model. Meaning, you'll only be considered for the job that you're applying for, regardless of your strengths as a candidate.

Resumepal employers instantly see which jobs match your skills and experiences, across their entire pool of open positions.

Dirty Secret #2: Employers don't go back and search previously received resumes

It's a nice idea to think that an employer, even after asking you to fill out a 12 page online form, would be able to go back and find your resume if the right job comes along tomorrow. That doesn't happen. Corporate resume systems work on a keyword search principle, and since virtually every resume in a particular genre has the same words, it's next to impossible to find a specific resume through keyword searching. (It would be like searching a book for the words “the, “and” or “me”). The result, corporate recruiters don't even bother to use the search functions in their resume systems.

Employers displaying the Resumepal logo use sophisticated matching to source previous candidates for recently open positions.

Dirty Secret #3: Your resume won't be screened by a subject matter expert

Imagine if a baseball talent scout didn't know anything about baseball, or if an American Idol judge didn't know anything about music. That's the situation in most corporate recruiting departments. The typical corporate resume screener is a generalist, with very few years of experience in the workforce. Rather than trying to understand you and the context of your resume, they are merely eye-scanning the document for one or two keywords. It's as if your singing audition is being judged by one note.

Resumepal acts like a decision support system for corporate recruiters. It's sophisticated matching capabilities guides them to your resume.
