Press Reviews - Tiburon Tip of the Week
Inexpensive Solution to Candidate Tracking www.egrabber.com The Tip of the Week now reaches over 30,000 recruitment industry professionals weekly. Dear Tiburon Group Tip of the Week Member: When I come across a product or service that is truly an exceptional value I like to share it with everyone. eGrabber’s ResumeGrabber™ Standard and Web Response Grabber (http://www.egrabber.com) products fit my criteria for exceptional value: solves a recruiting problem, easy to use, innovative, within an affordable budget for independents and corporations. Companies that do not have the luxury of an Applicant Tracking System can accomplish many of the same functions within a contact management system like Outlook®, Act!, and Goldmine but utilizing eGrabber tools to facilitate data entry. Resume management is one of the more frustrating and time consuming tasks recruiters without full blown ATS systems face. Their inboxes quickly become filled with resumes and they have no easy way to manage or share them among co-workers. Entering them into a contact management database takes hours of valuable sourcing and recruiting time. ResumeGrabber™ Standard and Web Response Grabber solve this seemingly never-ending problem. With just a few clicks of your mouse you can import resumes into your contact management system from e-mail, Word documents (or any text document), or an applicant form on your website. Their newest feature enters resumes you find in job board resume databases directly into your contact manager making the investment in access to these expensive databases more valuable. ResumeGrabber™ Standard (www.egrabber.com/resumegrabber) is specifically designed to enter resumes received via e-mail, Word or other electronic method into a contact manager allowing you to more readily manage, track and search for candidates in the database. By simply highlighting the candidate contact information in the resume, a new candidate record is created in your contact management system. The key fields are automatically populated; the resume is attached to the contact record and also copied into a notes page for easy searching. The software is compatible with many systems including ACT!™, Goldmine, and Outlook®. The system even allows you to create up to 6 custom fields such as: source, recruiter name, client name, comments etc.. that can be automatically populated with each record created. Web Response Grabber (www.egrabber.com/webresponsegrabber) is a unique solution to entering data from applicant forms on your website directly into a contact management database. Now you can create a custom form on your website for candidates to fill in to submit their credentials. By mapping your web form fields to your contact management system, all candidates and their resumes are automatically entered into the database directly from your website. You can program it to send an e-mail acknowledgement to the candidate and an “alert” to the recruiter to notify them of the new entry. The tool also has some additional unique customization options. The best part about eGrabber is that their products provide significant functionality at a very reasonable price. ResumeGrabber™ Standard starts at $249 for one user with discounts for each additional user. Web Response Grabber starts at $299. These costs can be recouped easily through the timesaving and the resulting ability to place candidates faster. I’ve long been a fan of eGrabber products to assist us with our sales efforts but this focus on recruitment solutions motivated me review them in the Tip of the Week. My apologies if this review sounds like a sales pitch but it is not that often that I find cost effective, innovative, and easy to use recruitment solutions. Go “Grab” ‘em. Carl Kutsmode |
