If you've been around my channel before you know that I've talked about applicant tracking systems.
I mean, sometimes I feel like I've talked about them until I'm blue in the face because the bottom
line is this: 95% of large companies are using them. 35% of small to medium sized companies are
using them. If you're sending out your resume, chances are you're hitting an applicant tracking
system. I mean, the chances are high. My name is Bill Benoist. I'm a certified professional career
coach here in Silicon Valley. And in today's video, I want to share with you a platform
that I discovered a couple of weeks ago called Jobseer.ai. This platform, I believe can be a game
changer. If you're in career transition or you're looking for another job. Now, if you're familiar
with job scan, you know that platform, you can take your resume, upload it, copy and paste it.
One side of the screen, take the job description, copy and paste it to the other side of the screen.
See how well you match job Sears like that. With a couple of exceptions, number one, it is 100% free.
And number two, you don't have to really go out and making copy and paste because it will
work right alongside some of the most popular job boards out there. And here's even a bonus.
It will actually have built into this program. The ability to recommend connections that may be
within the company. I mean, the best thing I can do is just show you how this platform works.
So let me share my screen with you. So before I begin, I just want to make a really quick
programming note and that is, I have cleared my browser history. I have cleared my browser
history because I want you to see exactly how easy it is to get started with this.
And this is incredible because it is a free application out there.
It's probably one of the most powerful career transition job source resources
that I have seen, um, in my days of career coaching. So take a look at this, what I'm going
to do. I'm going to go ahead and go to open up my browser and I am going to type in jobs, seer AI,
and I've landed on the page. First thing it wants me to do is add to Chrome, by the way, this only
works with a Chrome browser. It's not going to work with safari or internet Explorer or any of
the other ones out there. You're going to have to use Chrome. Other than that, this is a pretty
sparse landing page. A little bit of information on here's some success stories down here at the
bottom. There's a blog that you can check out. I think that's kind of cool, but for right now,
what I'm going to do is going to go back up here and I'm going to add the extension.
So brings up to the Chrome web store, add to Chrome, going to go ahead and do that.
Let it add to it, checking. And it's done. Now here's a little walk through essentially how this
application actually works. So it says we're going to upload a resume and you have that
right up here at the top. And then you're going to just go ahead and begin your search depending upon
what platform that you want to take. I can see in this example here, they're actually using indeed
Going to uncover various
Match scores based upon your resume and some other additional keywords that put into it. Go
in here. You can find some recruiters, you can actually ask some questions. It's kind of cool.
And so now on number five, it's going to just say, get started with jobs here. I'm going to do this.
And you notice over here in the upper right-hand corner, it talks about, so start your job search.
Do we want to start it with LinkedIn? Indeed? Dice? Google? Handshake? or Glassdoor? These
are the platforms that jobseer works with. So, I'm going to actually go with indeed and click on that
and wants me to go ahead and either sign up or log in. I'm going to go ahead and
I'm going to, even though I'm on indeed,
I'm going to continue with LinkedIn. I'm just going to use my LinkedIn log in for this.
So putting my password here.
Yeah. You typed it in right the first time.
Okay. And it says autofill with your resume.
Now I can go ahead and click on this
And I'm going to come down here and I have a resume. That's actually saved a resume.
It's just a test resume, but I created this just specifically for this video. I'm going to click on
open it's uploading and parsing my resume. And again, I want you to notice I am on indeed.
Now from my resume to actually picked up a couple of job titles of either like career
coach or program lead. I don't like that. I'm going to go ahead and click on that
X there. And I'm going to just simply add a title of career coach.
Cause I don't want to use that career coach comma program lead. I think that's way, way, way too
specific. And there's some other titles down here, but I'm not even going to worry about that. I'm
going to go down here to location is picking up where I live. That's based upon my resume
and has some skills here, but you know what I'm going to put in some other skills
that I don't see. So for example, I'm really good with resumes. So I'm going to put in resume and
they're put in resume review because I do a lot of resume reviews. I'm good with LinkedIn. So when
you put in LinkedIn, let's see LinkedIn marketing, LinkedIn training, LinkedIn advertising, LinkedIn
expert, and definitely good with LinkedIn expert, but I'm going to put it in LinkedIn training.
I don't think I've really seen very many positions out there
where they're looking for somebody that is a LinkedIn expert on the job description. Although,
you know what, I am going to put that in there just for the fun
Of it. Let's see what brings up. Okay.
I'm good with interviewing. I have some good interviewing skills that I help people with.
So interviewing skills and go ahead and put that in that. And I think there was also something else
in there I saw interviewing subject matter experts and good with that. Okay. What's my experience
level. I only been doing this now for about seven years, so you know, probably a senior level,
but I'm going to go ahead and put it. Mid-level just for this one June job type. Uh, definitely
full-time okay, so let's go ahead and do a search. Okay. You notice, I haven't, before you do this,
I haven't put anything. Okay. Over here in the search for indeed. Right? I'm letting this hap
over here. I'm letting jobs here to do this and then go ahead and click on our search for a job.
And w came up with something in the San Francisco area remote and wow, I've got a 79 match. So it
seemed a little bit this a little bit more. Now this is interesting. Ask for a referral founder
and director. Look at here. I now have a link to the founder of this and click on this individual.
I'm going to go over here and I immediately bring this individual up and my LinkedIn account,
that third connection with her. But definitely if I was looking for a position, I would reach out to
her directly. I think I would go ahead and message her be good. That is a video for another time.
So it's good. And
I think that's kind of cool that I can actually reach out directly to this individual here
so I can go ahead and apply now on that. If I wanted to go ahead and hit, apply now
and go through and sign it with indeed signing with Google,
whatever. I'm not going to go any further than this, because I think you have enough
information based upon the last several minutes that I've spent. Just how powerful
and how easy jobs here is when you're in career transition or you're looking for another job.
So it's a pretty incredible platform. Isn't it? And by the way, I am not affiliated with jobs here
in any shape or form. I am offering this video based upon my own findings. I've been playing
with it for a couple of weeks. I wanted to really kind of play with it before I created this video,
just to make sure that I'm not recommending something that I wouldn't be recommending to
my one-on-one clients. Won't do I work with. So anyway, I hope you found this video informative
