Employers user software to track resumes

Article Abstract:

Employers find they can better keep their promise to keep an applicant's resume on file for future reference with the use of hardware and software designed to read and track resumes. MicroTrac Systems Inc's $40,000 to $150,000 Restrac human resource management system features a bundled optical character reader and sorts data for storage. Resumix Inc's $45,000 software system reads and tracks resumes for companies such as Apple Computer Inc. Lotus Development Corp's Lotus Notes office management system has a Job Candidate program for resume classification and sharing. Optical character readers are fallible with anything but clear, uncomplicated typeface on white paper, however. The data is sorted by nouns rather than by verbs, so job seekers are best served through including detailed, descriptive nouns. Employers can also use employment services that provide resume data bases for their clients, accessing the particular qualifications an employers seeks. An advantage to resumes on a data base, sorted by gender or race, is easier compliance with government regulations on equal opportunity hiring.
