Introducing Printingskills.com
2008-04-09 | Filed Under Uncategorized |
So here’s the thing: we had two options regarding the new capabilities we’re introducing: we could develop everything from the ground-up or we could partner with someone who had already done much of the development, and we could wrap a brand around what had been done. So obviously we chose the second option - Workblast.com has developed a kicking interface, and we’re going to bring that interface, with all the video capabilities, to the entirety of the Hireskills.com database of people. That’s approaching 30,000 printing people in the United States and Canada. That’s kicking, too. Nick Murphy, the CEO of Workblast.com (ironically a former NFL Kicker) is running around the country getting college students excited about what he’s offering at Workblast.com across the non-printing industry. We’re bringing this capability to the Printing industry ourselves. We’re going to run Hireskills.com in parallel with Printingskills.com, so we can ease the people into the new technology. Video isn’t for everyone; but for people that feel comfortable on a webcam it rocks. Others will want to consider having other people go on video for them, get endorsements from professors, former employers, former and current co-workers - put them on camera for a minute or two and have them tell your prospective employer how awesome you are. Then there’s the powerpoint presentation - you can do one of those and narrate it yourself - tell prospective employers about the work you are showing in the presentation. Or, you can tie your resume to a portfolio of your work in a variety of formats, and let your resume and portfolio speak for you. Or you can do all the above.
And sooner or later, I mean it HAS to happen, one or two forward-looking printing companies will post their videos on our site to get job seekers excited about their capabilities. At Hireskills.com we still see an amazing number of companies that don’t understand the internet’s true value to their company. Some of the customers don’t believe we can do what we do for the price we charge - a fraction of the cost of any recruiter in the industry! But we have the largest database in the industry - of course we can find people for companies - in many cases it’s merely a function of posting a great looking job and looking in the inbox the next morning - it’s not terribly difficult.
But the big thing here is that we’re gong to be introducing PrintingSkills.com to the industry - and it’s truly going to change everything. We’re going to tie Hi-Res Kills into the networking capability, you are going to love this place! Stay tuned!
