Indeed.com has announced the launch of Indeed Resume, an open search engine for resumes.
Indeed Resume provides employers and recruiters instant access to millions of qualified candidates. Indeed Resume is free during beta and available at http://www.indeed.com/resume.
For recruiters and hiring managers, Indeed Resume, unlike the subscription-only resume databases of job boards, is an open search engine. Searching for resumes is free and unrestricted and does not require an account. Employers can contact job seekers for free during the beta period.
"Resume search on Indeed is as fast and simple for employers as our job search is for job seekers," said Chris Hyams, Indeed's VP of Product. Employers can search by keyword and location (just like with Indeed's job search) to get a list of resumes.
To view a resume, simply highlight the candidate you are interested in. You'll see a preview of the resume. Click to view the full resume. Then you'll have the option to download the resume and/or contact the job seeker.
Employers can set up unlimited saved searches and receive daily emails with new and updated resumes matching their search criteria.
For job seekers, Indeed Resume, which is free just like Indeed's other job search tools, enables 1-click apply to select jobs on Indeed.com, and offers job seekers privacy protection that isn't always available on other sites. Initial contact is brokered by Indeed and personal contact information (phone number, email, and address) remains private until the job seeker chooses to share it.
If you're job searching, now is a good time to upload your resume to Indeed. Here's how to post your resume on Indeed.
