TalentRooster Video Resume Service Experiences Explosive Growth, Now Hosting Over 4,000 Video Resumes

    COLUMBUS, OH, November 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- TalentRooster (http://www.talentrooster.com), the world's leading video resume service, today announced that it has exceeded 4,000 video resumes in its searchable video resume repository -- more than doubling its database in the past two months.

"The technology is virtually exploding," says TalentRooster CEO and President David DeCapua. "Because video resumes are quickly replacing paper resumes as a preferred method of screening candidates, we're seeing employers and recruiting companies jump at the chance to integrate video resumes into their hiring process, increasing the demand for our service exponentially."

TalentRooster connects employers and job seekers through powerful, searchable video resumes and digital video profiles, making it easier for job seekers to be found by employers, and for employers to find the right fit for their companies. While the idea of video resumes isn't a new one, they have been traditionally difficult to create, poor in quality and inconsistent. TalentRooster changes the game by providing a service that lets job seekers easily create video resumes and employers easily integrate video resumes into their hiring process.

Brad Sims, Owner and President of United Talent, agrees.

"TalentRooster is extremely user-friendly," he says. "It's so simple to use and the tool walks you through the various steps of the video recording process." Sims uses TalentRooster to create video resumes of all his candidates, then emails them to potential employers.

"The paper resume is dead," continues Sims. "First, it's not as easy to convey the amount of information that you can in a video. Second, paper resumes are just so difficult to sort through. If I can see and hear a person before bringing them in for an interview, I can save both time and money -- and increase my chances of finding a perfect fit much faster."

TalentRooster allows companies, recruiters, and job seekers to shoot professional video interviews on-site or at home, which can then be uploaded to the TalentRooster site, adding to a large national database of searchable video resumes. In addition to creating a video resume, job seekers can also complete skills and personality assessments, and can be vetted through a series of screening factors that are specific to an employer.

This growing database serves two purposes for job seekers: it enables them to be located by thousands of interested employers across the country, while enhancing opportunities and reinforcing their seriousness about the job search. According to DeCapua, "Utilizing video resume technology can increase a candidate's chance for hire by 50% or more. A short video where a candidate answers several interview questions is extremely powerful. Plus, our technology enables candidates to post their video profile on virtually any social media site, which is one of the powerful tools a candidate can utilize in their job search process."

The service also empowers employers to review dozens of qualified job seekers in the same amount of time it would take them to conduct one personal interview.
