CareerBuilder Taps Bing API for New Candidate Search Tool
At the Society for Human Resource Management Conference, CareerBuilder announced a new recruiting tool built with the Bing API. It’s called Applicant Explorer and it uses the API to integrate online results such as social networking sites, blogs, and corporate websites with CareerBuilder’s results.
“One of our key goals with Bing is to simplify search and make it easier for people to find what they are looking for online; searching for the ideal job candidate is no exception,” said Alessandro Catorcini, senior program manager, Bing. “By combining Bing functionality with the extensive CareerBuilder database, Applicant Explorer helps recruiters and employers customize their search criteria and dynamically sort through and display hundreds of data sources in one easy to use interface, cutting the manual search time substantially.”
The idea was to streamline the candidate search process for human resources professionals. Instead of sifting through CareerBuilder results and then conducting the same search on a separate search engine, now recruiters can do it all in one place.
“With so many employers already utilizing the Internet to research candidates, Applicant Explorer was created to help employers do that necessary research in the most efficient and simple way possible – helping them go beyond the resume,” said Greg Brass, director of profile search at CareerBuilder. “In addition, job seekers can benefit from the clearer picture employers can gather of their qualifications and background.”
Applicant Explorer is free for those using CareerBuilder’s resume database.
