Overview

While we're a small company, we have big dreams of improving the way résumés are viewed and used. Some may even call it an obsession.

We believe there's a better way for job candidates to create, manage and distribute their information to prospective employers. While most industries have revolutionized their hiring processes, the career space, in our humble opinion, has been slow to adopt these new standards and harness the true power of the Internet as an efficient communication medium. The little that has been done focuses more on streamlining and expediting employer tasks, doing little (and in some cases compounding the effort for) job candidates. We believe a résumé needs to be more than just an advertisement left-over from the paper résumé of the past.

A résumé should be:

  • Portable / Reusable- That is one set of data that can be rendered into multiple formats and across multiple career sites.
  • Accessible - Available 24/7 online.
  • Secure- We believe that the candidate is the owner of their data and thus should be able to control who has access and when they have access to their data.
  • Personable - A representation of who you are. Some recruiters frown on letting a résumé show ones true colors and personality. But we say rubbish, and cringe over the time wasted with cookie cutter résumés that don't accurately portray a candidate's personality, ultimately hampering a quick and ideal fit. We believe in the premise of Tom Peters, that you are a brand and, like any brand, you need to be able to differentiate yourself from the other brands on the market.
  • Interactive - A tool to harness the power of the Internet as a communication medium. Résumés should enhance communication, not limit it to offline.

While were just starting out and have a lot more to add, we strongly believe that we're headed in the right direction in developing the résumé for the 21st century: the Rézumé, same pronunciation, new spelling. It worked for Liza and we hope it will work for us, but what we do know is it will work for you.
