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

Rapidly growing video resume service leads the charge for a more efficient method of hiring.

2010-11-30

COLUMBUS, OH, November 30, 2010 (Press-News.org) 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.

Sour research, sweet results

2010-11-25

This Thanksgiving, when you bite into the cranberry sauce and the tartness smacks your tongue as hard as that snide comment from your sister, consider the power of sour. Neurobiology researchers at the University of Southern California have made a surprising discovery about how some cells respond to sour tastes. Of the five taste sensations — sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami — sour is arguably the strongest yet the least understood. Sour is the sensation evoked by substances that are acidic, such as lemons and pickles. The more acidic the substance, the more sour ...

Deciphering how CD4 T cells die during HIV infection

2010-11-25

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—November 24, 2010—Scientists at Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology have solved a long-standing mystery about HIV infection–namely how HIV promotes the death of CD4 T cells. It is the loss of this critical subset of immune cells that leads to the development of AIDS. Most immune cells that die during HIV infection are seemingly not infected, a phenomenon formerly described as "bystander cell killing." Now the Gladstone scientists report that these "bystander" cells are actually the victims of a failed or abortive form of viral infection. Their ...

Breastfeeding while taking seizure drugs may not harm child's IQ

2010-11-25

ST. PAUL, Minn. – There's good news for women with epilepsy. Breastfeeding your baby while taking your seizure medication may have no harmful effect on your child's IQ later on, according to a study published in the November 24, 2010, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. "While more research is needed with larger numbers of women and their babies, these results are reassuring to women who want to give their babies all the benefits of breastfeeding but also need to remain on their epilepsy medications to avoid devastating ...

Proton-pump inhibitors and birth defects -- some reassurances, but more needed warns epidemiologist

2010-11-25

(Boston) - Despite the reassurances of Pasternak and Hviid in their study, "Use of Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI) in Early Pregnancy and the Risk of Birth Defects," featured in the Nov. 24 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, an epidemiologist from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) believes that further studies are needed. The original study found that on the basis of data from more than 840,000 live births in Denmark, there was no evidence to suggest that the use of the most common PPIs (omeprazole, lansoprazole, and esomeprazole) anytime during pregnancy ...

Study finds that the same face may look male or female

2010-11-25

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Neuroscientists at MIT and Harvard have made the surprising discovery that the brain sees some faces as male when they appear in one area of a person's field of view, but female when they appear in a different location. The findings challenge a longstanding tenet of neuroscience — that how the brain sees an object should not depend on where the object is located relative to the observer, says Arash Afraz, a postdoctoral associate at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research and lead author of a new paper on the work. "It's the kind of thing you ...

A decade of refinements in transplantation improves long-term survival of blood cancers

2010-11-25

SEATTLE – A decade of refinements in marrow and stem cell transplantation to treat blood cancers significantly reduced the risk of treatment-related complications and death, according to an institutional self-analysis of transplant-patient outcomes conducted at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Among the major findings of the study, which compared transplant-patient outcomes in the mid-'90s with those a decade later: After adjusting for factors known to be associated with outcome, the researchers observed a statistically significant 60 percent reduction in the ...

Study of 10 other hospitals found no reduction in adverse medical events over 6 years

2010-11-25

STANFORD, Calif. — Despite concerted efforts, no decreases in patient harm were detected at 10 randomly selected North Carolina hospitals between 2002 and 2007, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Since a 1999 Institute of Medicine report sounded the alarm about high medical error rates, most U.S. hospitals have changed their operations to keep patients safer. The researchers wanted to assess whether these patient-safety efforts reduced harm. They studied hospitals ...

Pulsating star mystery solved

2010-11-25

The new results, from a team led by Grzegorz Pietrzyński (Universidad de Concepción, Chile, Obserwatorium Astronomiczne Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, Poland), appear in the 25 November 2010 edition of the journal Nature. Grzegorz Pietrzyński introduces this remarkable result: "By using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile, along with other telescopes, we have measured the mass of a Cepheid with an accuracy far greater than any earlier estimates. This new result allows us to immediately see which of the two competing ...

Bonn physicists create a 'super-photon'

2010-11-25

By cooling Rubidium atoms deeply and concentrating a sufficient number of them in a compact space, they suddenly become indistinguishable. They behave like a single huge "super particle." Physicists call this a Bose-Einstein condensate. For "light particles," or photons, this should also work. Unfortunately, this idea faces a fundamental problem. When photons are "cooled down," they disappear. Until a few months ago, it seemed impossible to cool light while concentrating it at the same time. The Bonn physicists Jan Klärs, Julian Schmitt, Dr. Frank Vewinger, and Professor ...

Erythromycin A produced in E. coli for first time

2010-11-25

MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. -- Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering have reported the first successful production of the antibiotic erythromycin A, and two variations, using E. coli as the production host. The work, published in the November 24, 2010, issue of Chemistry and Biology, offers a more cost-effective way to make both erythromycin A and new drugs that will combat the growing incidence of antibiotic resistant pathogens. Equally important, the E. coli production platform offers numerous next-generation engineering opportunities for other natural ...
