????Headhunter網(wǎng)站將從求職者個(gè)人檔案和求職申請(qǐng)中收集信息，并在30秒內(nèi)在線(xiàn)生成一份報(bào)告,。若之后有其他人申請(qǐng),，求職者可查看更新后的報(bào)告。雇主也可利用這份報(bào)告指導(dǎo)之后的人才招聘工作,。但凱業(yè)必達(dá)稱(chēng),，目前，該服務(wù)僅面向求職者,，未注冊(cè)的網(wǎng)站訪(fǎng)客尚無(wú)權(quán)使用,。
????以昨天芝加哥的一個(gè)市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)總監(jiān)職位為例,，“職位競(jìng)爭(zhēng)情況報(bào)告”顯示，大部分求職者的期望薪酬在78,000至93,000美元之間,。多數(shù)求職者均擁有20年以上工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),，而且大部分都獲得了學(xué)士學(xué)位，其中約四分之一自稱(chēng)持有碩士學(xué)位,。求職者畢業(yè)的名校包括德堡大學(xué)（DePaul）,、普渡大學(xué)（Purdue）和北密歇根大學(xué)（Northern Michigan）等,，求職者曾經(jīng)就職的公司中最常見(jiàn)的是網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備制造商3Com Corp.,、管理咨詢(xún)公司Statement Marketing，以及風(fēng)之城聯(lián)合公司（Windy City Inc.）,。

????目前，這類(lèi)報(bào)告可以幫助求職者確定他們的期望薪酬是否已經(jīng)跟不上形勢(shì),，以及他們是否高估或低估了自己的能力,。福爾曼稱(chēng)：“求職者可以更加清晰地了解就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的形勢(shì)，這無(wú)疑對(duì)他們有利,?！?/p>
????但這類(lèi)報(bào)告或許無(wú)法全面、公允地反映市場(chǎng)的真實(shí)情況,，甚至也無(wú)法如實(shí)反映出求職者的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)或薪酬水平,。求職信息網(wǎng)站Job-Hunt.org發(fā)行人蘇珊?喬伊斯認(rèn)為：“這類(lèi)‘競(jìng)爭(zhēng)情況報(bào)告’對(duì)薪酬水平的統(tǒng)計(jì)可能并不準(zhǔn)確，也沒(méi)有特別的相關(guān)性,?！眴桃了惯€認(rèn)為，公開(kāi)這類(lèi)數(shù)據(jù),，可能導(dǎo)致與隱私權(quán)相關(guān)的法律問(wèn)題,。“誰(shuí)知道他們還會(huì)怎么使用這些信息,？”

????Headhunter gathers information from candidate profiles and job applications and aggregates it in a report that takes about 30 seconds to generate online. After more people apply, candidates may view updated reports. An employer can also view the information and use it to guide the rest of their search. It is not available to individuals who browse the site, but only job applicants, CareerBuilder says.
????For one director of marketing posting in Chicago yesterday, a job competition report showed a wide range of desired salaries -- from $78,000 to $93,000. More applicants had over 20 years of experience and most had a bachelor's degree, though a quarter said they had earned a master's as well. The top alma maters were DePaul, Purdue and Northern Michigan and the most common companies that applicants had experience working at included 3Com Corp., Statement Marketing, and Windy City Inc.
????It's equally valuable to job-seekers and employers to compile such reports, says Christian Forman, chief executive of StartWire, which offers job-seekers online tools to track and organize their applications. Eventually, such information could evolve and become a "game-changing" tool to gauge where talented workers are located and where they are needed.
????Right away, the reports may help job candidates determine whether their salary expectations are outdated -- and that they may be over or undervaluing themselves. "It's beneficial for job-seekers to get a clear-eyed view of what the market is," Forman says.
????Yet the report may not give a full or fair picture of the market, or even the candidates' true experience levels or pay. "What 'the competition' states as their salary level may not be accurate and probably isn't particularly relevant," says Susan Joyce, publisher of career information site Job-Hunt.org. Joyce also argues that there may be legitimate privacy concerns about making this sort of data public. "What else will they do with that information?"
????Headhunter.com's Jablow says that the site takes user privacy seriously and that he expects the site and the report to grow and change partly based on users' feedback in the next few months.
????Others argue that the site is late to the game or trying to quantify leadership skills with a few data points. "Leadership qualities … are impossible to benchmark in such a mass market approach. I consider this new feature to be more of a bell and whistle, and not something of real value to the executive candidate," says Eryn Feinsod, a spokeswoman for the Association of Executive Search Consultants, which runs a competing site BlueSteps.com. Feinsod also argues that the data in the competition reports will be skewed because it comes through one source only and may include some people who are less qualified for the job.
????However, Headhunter is free of charge to job-seekers while competing executive job sites like TheLadders charges users $15 to $25 a month. Except for the job listings, Headhunter will be free of advertising, including pop-up ads, says Jablow.
????Headhunter launched with about 2,800 job listings, many of them from CareerBuilder or its seven other niche sites. The site's "sweet spot" will be manager, senior manager and vice president-level positions, and in two or three months, most of the jobs will be unique to the site, Jablow says. By comparison, TheLadders currently has 120,000 job listings, according to Marc Cenedella, the site's CEO and founder. |
