TalentBin Unveils Breakthrough Talent Search Engine: Transforms the Web Into Largest-Ever Talent Sourcing Database

San Francisco, CA – May 15, 2012 – TalentBin has just turned the entire professional web into the largest talent sourcing database known to mankind with its public launch today. Already serving the social media recruiting needs of over 60 companies such as Intuit, Groupon, Dolby, and Yahoo!, TalentBin’s Talent Search Engine gives recruiters and hiring managers access to the most comprehensive professional profile information available, helping them pinpoint highly qualified, hard-to-find candidates more quickly and accurately than ever before. Available as a standalone search engine or plug-in for existing HRIS, Recruiting CRM, or Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), TalentBin merges pertinent career information scattered all over the internet into a single unified web resume, to help recruiters discover, research, and engage with the best talent the web has to offer.

Recruiters and hiring managers face a common challenge: top talent is rarely actively looking for new employment. As a result, their professional profiles on LinkedIn and in other communities typically lack the skills and experience detail needed to help recruiters bring them exciting new opportunities for career growth. TalentBin’s talent search engine was created to address this pain point – to not just discover, but aggregate a candidate’s implicit professional activity: the information they share across social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Meetup, Quora, and more. This, coupled with industry-specific social communities like Github, Sourceforge, and Bitbucket for software engineering, bolsters anemic profiles with vital information on skills and expertise. The result is a more complete and accurate profile that provides a 360-degree view of a candidate, covering professional skills to personal interests, all essential information to determining ideal job fit. TalentBin then takes it one step further, compiling all contact information such as email addresses, Twitter handle, and more.

Prologue: A Multitude of Hope

Recruiting Trends Exclusive ~~ It was a quiet, contented Sunday evening in August. The shore traffic had cleared on Sound Beach Avenue, leaving only the hot pavement and the dreary rivulets of air conditioner condensation to mark its passing.

A brick, two story elementary school demarked the end of the street’s passage through the residential area. It was flanked on one side by a pedestrian crossing and on the other by the exit way of a circular drive that, on a school day, would be filled with mothers dispatching children from tony BMWs and Mercedes sedans. On this day, however, there were only empty, faded parking spaces to look up at the half drawn window shades of the final weeks of summer vacation.
