Analytic Brain

AnalyticBrain moving to AnalyticBridge

2009-06-22T20:45:00.000-07:00

This is our new recruiter email alert from the new AnalyticBrain website. The new AnalyticBrain web site is now part of AnalyticBridge. We invite you to check the new website, where you can post comments and discuss HR issues pertaining to recruiting analytic people in remote locations, dealing with consultants, KPI's to measure the quality of a job board, social network recruiting, legal issues, career opportunities for fresh graduates or undergraduate candidates, job search tricks, and many other topics.

As we transition to our new website, I would like to offer to all recruiters a great opportunity: two postings on AnalyticBridge or one on AnalyticBridge and one on DataShaping, where our fee is waived. To benefit from this offer, you must bring two new analytic members to AnalyticBridge. Also, your job ad(s) must have a corporate recruiter email address or URL where applicants can send their resume. Hotmail, gmail, yahoo and other free email addresses are not accepted. This offer is valid until 6/30, and represents up to a $200 saving.

Recruiters interested in reaching our niche network of talented candidates and benefit from the protection offered to candidates should check our offerings at AnalyticBrain.com: candidates are guaranteed that our paid ads are genuine and coming from real hiring managers, recruiters or agencies, and that they are relevant to their field (no sales insurance job) and not fraudulent.

We have received a large number of resumes in December. We are still in the process of reviewing the resumes.

The acceptance rate in our resume database (or to become DataShaping Certified) is a little below 50%. So we do a pre-screening for you.
