If you missed yesterday's
article on the company, Eliyon has amassed a database of nearly 6 Million
people from 500 thousand companies by spidering and indexing corporate websites,
newsfeeds, press release data and content oriented websites. The result is a
goldmine of high-performing potential candidates who are not currently looking
for a job. It's also a gem for sales lead development. In our deeper look under the hood, we discovered that you can search for
people based on Title, Work History, Educational Background, Biographical
Details, Name, Company Location and a fantastic power search. Results can be
sorted by company, title, rank in the hierarchy, name and so on. The tool is
powerful enough to make the initial steps of a "from scratch"
recruitment process a walk in the park. Since the data is biased towards company information and company locations,
searches for local talent (the preferred candidate is local and not looking) are
an easy exercise. We tried to find Marketing talent in Provo, Utah and came up
with a list of more than 100. We've spent time in Provo (shudder) and bet that
100 is the same as "most". For another scenario, we attempted to evaluate the feasibility of
establishing a new company location in Burke, VA. We discovered, to our
surprise, that what we thought was a sleepy hamlet appeared to be a small nest
of dot com operations. With that sort of talent availability in this market, we
were delighted by the prospects. We also were interested in hiring a lawyer with a degree from Stanford and
some industry experience. Although we've found these folks to be troublesome in
the past, the mix is too good to pass up when you find it. Although we didn't
want to hire Sandra Day O'Connor, we found a remarkable fellow with an EE and
production experience. Just the sort we were after. Eliyon won't make heroes out of Recruiters who are looking for 100%
automation. It is best understood as a lead generation system for people who are
serious about building communities or recruiting successful people who are not
looking for a job. We'd love to see the search capabilities expanded to include geographic
radius, a network of possible relationships, and an interface to talent
management tools. But, those are small druthers in an otherwise stellar new
offering. TrueCareers is the industry's first Affinity-Based Recruitment Resource (ABRR). Our job board serves Sallie Mae's seven-million-plus borrowers, and while doing so, offers you:
