Monster’s SeeMore™ Improving Time and Efficiency Delivering Quality Candidates Quickly to Staffing Firms

At a time when recruiters are increasingly asked to do more with less resources, Monster, the worldwide leader in successfully connecting people to job opportunities and the flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW), is meeting these challenges with its innovative semantic search technology, helping recruiters staff projects and quickly fill open positions with quality candidates faster than ever before.

Staffing firms, whose success depends on speed and quality to fill hundreds of jobs at any given time, are sourcing talent from multiple locations including referrals, social networks, saved resumes, job posting applicants, employee profiles and website visitors. To help meet their needs, staffing companies are embracing SeeMore™, the world's first cloud-based semantic search and analytics platform. Built on Monster’s highly successful patented 6Sense® semantic search technology, SeeMore allows companies to search all of their talent pools in one place and to quickly identify and rank the best potential candidates by literally reading the resumes with a recruiter- like understanding of skills and qualifications.

"Our company specializes in providing clients with office support, creative, technical, healthcare, human resources and financial staff, ranging from professional to administrative roles with very specific skill sets, so being able to pinpoint qualified talent with speed and efficiency is a huge priority for us,” said Aaron Green, Chairman of the American Staffing Association and founder of Professional Staffing Group, one of Massachusetts’ largest staffing firms.

According to Mr. Green, the challenges his firm confronts are not unique and staffing companies across the board are facing similar challenges. "Staffing managers have access to multiple candidates from multiple sources and keyword search is very limiting when we need to separate and quickly identify the right candidate. We need to be more efficient in searching databases and then have candidate profile information presented and ranked in a simple dashboard and SeeMore allows our staffing managers to do just that. Monster’s technology is truly a game-changer for the staffing industry.”

Monster’s 6Sense™ semantic search technology was developed to analyze resumes as a hiring manager would, by reading resumes and evaluating skills, while understanding the depths of an individual’s experience in seconds instead of hours or days. Semantic search technology goes far beyond traditional keyword search, saving time and increasing productivity, allowing recruiters to see resumes in less time with unprecedented matching efficiency by providing faster access to better qualified candidates.

"The average recruiter spends 90 seconds reviewing one resume, two and a half hours to review 100 resumes and 2 years to review 150,000 resumes and when you factor in the complex convergence of data, this presents a huge challenge for staffing companies,” said Matthew O’Connor, Senior Vice President Staffing and Software Solutions for Monster Worldwide. "Speed and Efficiency are essential in filling positions in the staffing industry. On average, it takes a staffing company one to three days to identify the right candidate to fill one position; with SeeMore, it takes just minutes allowing recruiters to spend more time selling the jobs and the candidates to drive more revenue. Coupled with robust talent analytics, SeeMore gives organizations and the staffing industry the competitive advantage they need.”
