Konik Primestaff Partners with hoodo to Revolutionize Job Seeker Experience
Konik Primestaff is excited to announce our partnership with hoodo, a Minneapolis-based technology startup! This new mobile app will change the way our recruiters connect with top talent.
As a technical recruiting service leader, Konik Primestaff is always searching for the best ways to attract and connect with the best talent. For the past decade, job boards have delivered thousands of unqualified resumes to our recruiter’s inboxes, wasting time and resources. Now we have a new technology that will make our recruitment more efficient and more importantly provide a better experience for those looking for jobs in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing.
“Tech employees deserve better than archaic job boards and endless applications. They need innovation to help find their ideal role without all the hassle of endless copy and paste applications. With hoodo, simply swipe right on the position you want and you’re done.” said Tom Goettl, vice president, Konik Primestaff. “Our recruiters were spending more than 50% of their time sifting through resumes to find candidates who meet job requirements, with hoodo we anticipate cutting that search time greatly.”
hoodo is an app-based recruiting platform that does the job hunting and matching for job seekers and vastly improves the accuracy of selecting talent for hiring managers. Konik Primestaff has just launched their hoodo partnership and is driving job seekers interested in the architecture, engineering, and manufacturing industry to download the hoodo app and add their profile to the growing hoodo job-seeking community.
Excerpt from “Don’t Waste Your Time with Online Job Applications — Here’s Why!”
“To begin the hiring process, we write delusional job ads that drive talented people away and make the average, capable job-seeking person decide that it’s not worth applying for the job because they’ll never have a chance of getting it.
“Next, we force job-seekers to fill out endless forms on our bureaucratic, inhuman Applicant Tracking Systems. Can you imagine forcing customers to fill out form after form in order to buy from your company? You’d never dream of doing that! Your company would go out of business in six weeks if you treated customers the shameful way you treat job-seekers.
hoodo cares about job seekers and wants to help companies like Konik Primestaff reduce the insanity of connecting qualified candidates with recruiters. hoodo allows you to skip the online job board, skip the application, and simply swipe right on jobs that you want. It’s like a dating app for jobs, enroll once and hoodo continuously hunts, screens, and shares jobs that meet your needs, wants, and abilities. When you find a job that suits you, simply swipe right.
You remain anonymous to the hiring manager through the prescreening process – hoodo provides the recruiter an outline of your qualifications and our back-end algorithm tells the hiring manager how good of a match you are for the specific role.
When the recruiter or hiring manager sees your interest, they can prescreen your qualifications and reach back out to start a conversation. Instead of being one of the hundreds, you’ve been moved to the top of the recruiter’s list of candidates … in one simple swipe.
Once the recruiter or hiring manager decides they like what they see, they show their interest and start a conversation via a hoodo chat. It’s that simple and very human.
Avoid Applying for Jobs That Aren’t a Fit, or You Don’t Want
hoodo also helps you avoid the trap of applying for jobs you don’t want, or simply are not a good fit for you. Whether it’s out of anxiety or desperation, many job seekers start skimming the job boards and feel driven to start clicking on jobs that aren’t the right fit.
See what time management coach and remote work expert Elizabeth Grace Saunders has to say about applying to too many opportunities in this excerpt from her Fast Times article, “These 5 Time Wasters Are Killing Your Job Search.”
“It can feel super vulnerable applying to a job that you’re really excited about and know you’re qualified for. But only applying to jobs where you’re vastly over- or underqualified is wasting your time. If it’s a mistake to be too selective and only apply to openings that look like perfect fits, then the reverse is also true: Applying indiscriminately to too many opportunities in the hope that something might work out is a poor strategy, too. If you don’t feel any butterflies in your stomach at all after sending out an application, it might be a sign that this job isn’t for you–and was a waste of time applying to.”
With hoodo, you won’t have to guess whether a job is right for you. The hoodo matching algorithms ensure that you see jobs that fit your wants, needs, and abilities – it’s not about quantity, its about quality. You don’t have to apply over and over either, once you’ve built your hoodo profile, the app is constantly out searching for your next job.
“We’re here to help companies like Konik Primestaff cut through the job board mess and serve up the most qualified candidates for each job,” said Ben Clark, founder, and CEO for hoodo. “Finding a job has changed, and hoodo is here to facilitate hiring in the modern era.”
