Before:
Go to job board
Pay for a year
Search resumes, filter
Worry about accuracy, though nothing much could be done
Download resumes one by one
Or, depend on the job board's over used and abused (to the extent of spam) broadcasts
Manual resume scavenging
Pull out email IDs and phone numbers
Call (and be surprised that the candidate has nothing to do with your requirements)
Scamper to get some schedules
Best case: 500 resumes ran through in a day, and some schedules with luck and the recruiting God smiling at us
Now:
Search (Oh we do not pay for access anymore)
Actually, do not search, map resumes to your job order, get ranked results (this is nirvana)
Preview samples, fine tune search again
Drill down to a good basket of 75 - that's something that me and my peer can cover in an hour
Add your shortlisted resumes to your desktop
Download - do not bother - get the information you want from your resume (not data)
Generated a report of just phone numbers and name for us to call
Generate a report of skills and name for the interviewer (not resume dressing needed anymore)
We select <a href="http://www.gorecroot.com/store.aspx">candidates for skills</a> not for their resume formats
Are you asking, where this can be done?

A peer in the MIS world was good to point out the the difference between information and data: Information is useful data. Coming to our world: resumes is data, qualifying, mapped resume is information. And, information is wealth. Amen.
earch. You do not want to deny the abundance of information that is available on the internet either. Depending on your skills and where you want to be working next, see if your target employers and their head hunters are hanging out in Print Classifieds or Job boards.
BEING COOL
Email is new age - it has been for over 15 years now:), but an email ID such as kewldude800@xyz.com is not a great identification. Also see what your social networking page is saying about you - from the eyes of a headhunter, hiring manager or recruiter. Please blogpost here about 'Big Brother is Watching'. Also your resume or your job hunt webpage is a business document, it is not your platform to express political views.
Balance 994 things you do not want in your job hunt come under 'common sense application'. We do not want to question your CSA quotient by putting down all of those 994. (Actually, "6 things" as a title did not sound grandiose enough to attract your attention)
Thank you for blogging here.
