Manual first (while in beta) – testing hiring talents, the traditional way

We stand for making the hiring process much easier, by directly matchmaking talents with recruiters and removing the long process of posting jobs, receiving and filtering applications etc.

However, while we are in public beta, we will still use the manual process of hiring (quite frequently used in startups), automatizing it slowly slowly.

Therefore, expect to see some jobs postings on splinter.me in the upcoming period. But don’t get used to it :)

For the moment, we will use the job postings and applications system in order to:

  • understand better the needs of recruiters
  • bring work opportunities to our talent pool

Companies interested in hiring, please contact adelina [at] splinter.me for promoting work opportunities on our platform. Meanwhile, you can also try our Splinter LookUp to find talents, our aggregated Common Connections to see how you can get introduced and our Splinter Talk to message each other.

Talents interested in work opportunities, follow our  and apply using your splinter profile to promoted jobs. You might want to add more tools and social networks to your profile first.

We will develop our promised features with the learning we get on the way and in a few months we will be ready to do simple matchmaking for you!

splinter.me launches Splinter Lookup, allowing searching like a human

splinter.me team is happy to announce the launch of Splinter Lookup, that helps searching for specific talents in a very easy and natural way. Forget about filters, boxes and choices. Just ask splinter.me exactly who you are looking for. As if you would ask a human.

Try searching for “Splinters who use Rails and PHP, live in Alexandria and know Marwan Osman.” Exactly like that!

It is search based on meaning rather than on exact matching keywords. For comparison, think of Facebook Graph Search that was launched last month.

“A typical search for a great job candidate requires checking the tools the candidate uses, people in common etc. We wanted to replace the current complex process with an easier and efficient search. Therefore, the new Splinter Lookup.

Searching is easier when you just say in plain English what you need rather than thinking about the right terms to type for your search query. The platform translates what you are searching from plain English to a computer-friendly form and the query is executed on our database. You don’t have to think like a machine anymore to get the right results.” said Marwan Osman, our Senior Software Engineer, the one who completely owned this feature and made it happen.

He also adds: “It’s just the beginning of search. We’re working on enhancing, fine-tuning search results and adding more types of searches you can do in your queries.”

Happy searching!
