JobsGroup.net Takes AIM at Industry with Launch of Artificial Intelligence Matching

(PRLEAP.COM) To celebrate the launch AIM will be offered at no extra cost to recruiters subscribing to JustGold (combined job posting and CV search) with JustEngineers.net until February 2007.

Mark Hepworth, Managing Director of JobsGroup.net, comments, “We predict AIM will revolutionise niche online recruitment. We operate in several sectors where a serious skills shortage is at play and where there is intense competition for the best candidates. AIM will enable our clients to reach these candidates before their competitors, which will enable JobsGroup.net to further build on our position as number one for placements in the UK.”

Craig Bines, Sales Director, comments, “Most jobsites offer keyword searches that have barely changed since the industry emerged thirteen years ago and which now belong to a bygone era. Artificial Intelligence Matching heralds the next generation of online recruitment. After twelve months of development and beta testing – three years after we started work on the project – we are confident AIM will prove to be invaluable to our clients.”

Recruiters interested in experiencing the benefits of AIM are invited to call 0845 050 2000 or to email sales@JobsGroup.net. One day free trials are available on a limited basis.

AIM Explained:
Intelligent Ranking – Calculates the statistical probability of a match between a candidate and vacancy and ranks them accordingly. This is a far more sophisticated tool than keyword search as AIM can ‘understand’ the context in which a search term appears, helping to eradicate erroneous results.

Vital Statistics – Displays an at-a-glance summary of jobseekers’ vital statistics including preferred location; qualifications; salary range; job type preference; key skills; and, unique to JobsGroup.net, their last three positions by job title, employer and duration.

CV Shortlist – Enables recruiters to save potentially suitable candidates to a shortlist, which can be revisited at any time.

CV Benchmarking – Enables recruiters to find candidates similar to one known to be an excellent match for the vacancy. This feature is useful if the first choice candidate is unavailable or if the recruiter has the CV of someone that has successfully undertaken the same or a similar role.

Jobseeker Benefits – AIM technology benefits jobseekers by enabling visitors to quickly and accurately register their details by automatically identifying and extracting relevant information from their CVs.

Future Improvements – CV Monitor, which alerts recruiters to when relevant jobseekers register with JobsGroup.net, and Jobs-By-Email, will be enhanced with AIM technology in the first quarter of 2007.

AIM was developed in conjunction with Burning Glass Technologies of San Diego, whose clients include Adecco, Coca-Cola, General Electric, Kellogg’s, NBC, Reed and Manpower. Burning Glass’s state-of-the-art searching and matching technology differs dramatically from that of more conventional tools. Unlike other solutions, the Burning Glass Lens™ platform learns from real-world patterns of placement. As a result, it understands the attributes of people who have placed successfully in the past into similar jobs to the one posted and, based on job seekers’ individual career paths, Lens™ can predict what kinds of jobs they are likely to place into next.

“Jobsites are in the business of bringing people and jobs together, yet most do little to help facilitate the process. By leveraging Burning Glass’s revolutionary predictive matching technology, JobsGroup.net is building on its long tradition of innovation and service,” said Matthew Sigelman, CEO of Burning Glass Technologies.

Launched in 2000, JobsGroup.net was Winner of Best Online Service at the Recruiter Awards for Excellence 2006; Number One Site for Placements for the third year running in the OnRec Top 100; Finalist for both Innovative Online Marketing and Best Technical Innovation at the OnRec Awards 2006; and Finalist in the Best Specialist Jobsite category at the National Online Recruitment Awards (NORA) 2006.

JobsGroup.net operates ten award-winning niche online recruitment websites in the UK: JustEngineers.net; JustRail.net; JustConstruction.net; JustUtilities.net; Just4Aviation.net; DefenceJobs.com; Just4Finance.net; JustSalesandMarketing.net; Just4Executives.net; and Just4Graduates.net. In January 2006 JobsGroup.net launched a free monthly newspaper, Just Technical Jobs, sent to over 30,000 candidates. In September, JobsGroup.net launched a new site based in Sydney, Australia: JustEngineers.com.au.

JobsGroup.net is unique because it combines the reach of generalist jobsites with the industry expertise of niche job boards, with over 320,000 unique visitors every month. Jobsgroup.net is biggest independent jobs network in the UK with a 1.7% market share (Key Note, October 2006).
