With rising recruitment costs, many companies now routinely offer financial incentives for their employees to recommend candidates to HR. So many of these incentives go unclaimed because employees have a limited pool of candidates in their social and professional circles, or are reluctant to mix their personal and professional lives. On the other hand, job seekers looking to connect with quality jobs face a daunting task of searching internet job sites and being one of perhaps thousands of applicants for any one desirable position. Worse, they have to accept to have their privacy violated by posting their resume on some sites. Renata Dumitrascu, the founder and CEO of EmployeeBuddy.com (http://www.employeebuddy.com) was born out of a desire to re-humanize the recruitment process, which, with the advent of the internet, has become mechanical; resumes are parsed by software, employment flaws are magnified, the poisoned dart of insufficient or unfitting experience - a swift qualifier for the virtual delete bin. It is easy to forget in this frenzy that a real person is behind each resume, a hard working person with hopes and family responsibilities and potential.That is why EmployeeBuddy.com does not collect resumes; instead it allows job seekers to create a profile based on their skills, and augment that with a paragraph in their own words about where they are at professionally and what they are seeking. These profiles can then be searched by employees seeking a candidate to refer to their HR department. If a possible match is found, then a conversation initiates between the parties where they can discuss suitability.
