Preptel Moves to FREE Model to Proactively Match Job Seekers with Qualified Positions

June 27, 2012 - PRLog -- DANVILLE, Calif. (June 28, 2012) -- Preptel Corporation, provider of job-seeker optimization services which improve a candidate’s chances of getting an interview and securing an offer, today announced the launch of Preptel 2.0 which proactively seeks out and intelligently identifies job opportunities using proprietary algorithms, advanced semantic search, computational linguistics, statistical inference and patented skillset matching technology…for FREE, forgoing their previous monthly subscription fees.
Leveraging these proprietary matching tools, Preptel 2.0 is no longer simply a reactive tool that helps with candidate résumé optimization; it now also actively searches and presents positions that a job seeker has the best chance of getting, all while ranking the probability of them getting the job.
The new site now aggregates job descriptions and applications from various sites (i.e. CareerBuilder.com, Beyond.com, and LinkedIn) into one place.  Preptel’s Resumeter™ measures the likely success of securing an interview (and ultimately the job) based on a complex series of compatibility markers; once identified, the system will scour around the clock and intelligently suggest jobs starting with those that best fit the applicant’s qualification.  Next, the system will actively help the candidate optimize the résumé for the specific jobs identified to increase the applicant’s likelihood of securing an interview. Recognizing that computers read a résumé first (not humans) and that over 75 percent of résumés are discarded for using the wrong word or formatting issues, the system will highlight recommended changes to the résumé in addition to job-specific matching suggestions.  In addition, Preptel creates a timeline of the application process for each job – the system will warn users of deadlines if they are about to lose an opportunity.  Other tools that help complete the job hunting process include built-in interview guides, salary range info, and résumé tips.
Leveraging the power of social media, and recognizing that savvy job seekers need to play up every angle, Preptel 2.0 integrates information from a user’s LinkedIn account to find connections to people working at the companies to where they are applying.
Preptel’s mission is to change the world by redefining the talent acquisition process, where skills, work experience, and true assets of an individual are considered for a position.  Career development professionals, recruiters, outplacement firms, and job seekers will all benefit from Preptel’s unique technology that helps streamline the hiring process
