Resume Direct's most important feature is its revolutionary ease of use, but we didn't make it simple to use by cutting out unique, value-added features like these that most systems charge extra for—or don't offer at all:

Resume Parsing & Grading
Resume Direct eliminates manual data entry and tedious resume screening with fully-integrated resume parsing capability included in all service levels. Applicant resumes are automatically uploaded and processed to extract contact information, previous job titles, employer names, and skills from a library of over 10,000 items. Resumes can be automatically screened against profiles and custom keywords to proactively flag the best candidates before they slip through the cracks or get hired by your competitors.

Hosted Career Site with Analytics & RSS Feeds
Resume Direct makes having an up-to-date, candidate-friendly careers site easier than you ever thought possible. Research proves that maintaining an easy-to-navigate, up-to-date career site is one of the best ways to reduce sourcing costs. Resume Direct-powered career sites also include these cutting-edge capabilities you won't find anywhere else:

  • Career Site Analytics: Monitor how many visitors come to your site, where they come from, which openings get the most views, and more.
  • RSS Feeds: Allow passive jobseekers to subscribe and receive automatic updates on new openings at your company delivered straight to their desktops. RSS is one of the most significant and rapidly-growing new content delivery technologies on the Internet and is heavily supported by Yahoo!, Google, and many other leading companies.

Apply-by-Email
Many ATSs capture applications through complex forms that discourage the best people from applying. Resume Direct is designed to support a 100% email-based application process. You simply include an email address wherever you're advertisisng the opening. Candidates email a resume in any format, and our resume parsing engine extracts the details. It's the easiest way to integrate an ATS into the way you work today, and the best.

Screening Questions
Filter out unqualified applicants faster than ever with screening questionnaires. Options include true/false, multiple-choice, and short or long freeform entry. Responses can be collected at the time of application, or questions can be sent at a later stage to select applicants only.

Vendor Integration Portal
Resume Direct streamlines communication with staffing vendors with our new Vendor Portal. Create accounts that allow vendors to login to access position details and submit candidates for the requisitions you make available. Candidate source is automatically tracked for reporting purposes.

Job Board Posting
Resume Direct can automate the process of posting your openings to a variety of free and fee-based job boards. Simply enter your reqs in Resume Direct, select the boards you wish to post to, and HRMDirect takes care of the rest.

Customizable Workflow
Resume Direct supports and enhances your hiring process with a configurable workflow engine that tracks the progress of each applicant through your company. The workflow supports up to 20 customizable steps that are easily tailored through our graphical interface.

Candidate Mailings
Timely and consistent communication with applicants throughout the hiring process is critical to maximizing your recruiting results. Resume Direct allows you to create and save templates for use with our three-click mail merge to make personalized communication fast and simple. It's also easy to send a mailing to candidates in your database who match the profile for new openings, saving you significant time and sourcing costs versus waiting for replies to a job board post.

Requisition Approval
Resume Direct replaces paper-based requisition approval processes with a simple email-driven workflow. Approvers are not required to have accounts or to login to the system, making deployment a snap.

Hiring Manager Integration
Hiring managers rarely have the time to learn how to use a complex ATS. That's why most systems in use today have little impact outside HR, and it's eas to see why a system which ignores 80% of the process contributors would fail to improve productivity. Resume Direct was designed to avoid precisely this fate, and includes two unique interfaces designed for high- and low-volume hiring managers.

Spam Filtering
Because Resume Direct is so intelligent in the way it processes resumes, it's easy for us to dramatically reduce the volume of non-resume email recruiters receive when posting on public sites.

It's about more than amazing software. Learn about the training, support, and thought leadership our clients receive as part of every subscription.
