New Approach Results in 10X increase in Candidate Satisfaction, 32% reduction in time-to-hire

By Daneille Lerner 

Toronto ON; March 28, 2016 ­ – Until today, the process of finding your ideal career was often done based on gut instinct and what roles a job seeker found first. Candidates applied blindly to multiple open positions and never truly knew their strengths, weaknesses and whether they are a good fit for the role.

HR and Hiring managers face a similar challenge: recruiting and hiring the best candidate for an open position remained a long and inefficient process. Despite the best HR procedures, Hiring Managers are still forced to depend on gut instinct when offering a job to candidates, never truly knowing if the new hire will thrive within a company¹s culture until he or she undertakes the new position.

Enter Ideal.com, the online job marketplace that replaces gut instinct with predictive personality and cultural analytics. Using a proprietary assessment and matching engine, Ideal.com  empowers candidates to learn about their unique strengths and ideal work environment, and pairs salespeople with roles that best match their individual skill sets, desired salary and location.

Ideal.com is a fantastic solution for job seekers,² said Dan Mearns, a technology sales executive who found recent employment through Ideal.com. ³By signing up I was able to learn about my unique strengths, and within one week I was matched and had a job offer from a high growth software startup that I accepted. My career is progressing and I¹m making more money that I could have ever imagined²

In addition to providing assessments, Ideal.com provides a wealth of additional resources for job seekers such as the ability to peruse detailed video profiles of companies who are hiring to get an authentic understanding of the culture of potential employers.

The missing link in the recruitment and hiring process is relevant and actionable data,² said Somen Mondal, CEO of Ideal.com. ³We take a candidate-first approach, helping job seekers identify their strengths and interview at organizations where they will thrive. Ideal.com is dramatically reducing hiring errors for employers as we assist candidates find their dream jobs – this ends up being a win-win situation for everyone involved.²

Companies that deploy Ideal.com enjoy an average 32% reduction in time-to-hire, while also lowering recruiting costs.

We realized that the recruiting and hiring process is one of the last corporate functions that has not been improved with technology,² said Shaun Ricci, Ideal.com Co-Founder and CEO. ³Resumes can be embellished and interviews can be marred by bias and often degenerate from honest consultation to an audition where candidates Œact the part.¹ The proven data analytics of Ideal.com help create an even playing field for all candidates and deliver greater efficiencies to the recruitment and hiring process.²

At present, the Ideal.com database contains more than 50,000 candidates and serves a variety of companies including those found in the Fortune 1000.
