Finding a job is very difficult at the moment with thousands of people competing for a limited number of places. Employers are now looking for more than just a plain old CV they’ve seen hundreds of times so that’s why as a candidate you need to stand out from the crowd. Here at What’s Good On The Web we’ve come across a great website which we think ticks all the right boxes for both job applicants and employers so that’s why we thought we’d put together a website review of MeetTheRealMe, a video based recruitment website.
About The Site
If you are just looking for job adverts MeetTheRealMe lists jobs available like many other sites but if you want to stand out from the crowd you can make so much more of your application.
In a nutshell the site basically allows you to video yourself (using a webcam or similar), post your profile online and allow employers to view your video. Don’t be worried though – they give lots of advice on what to do and say so it is really simple to set up the profile. These videos can then be viewed by potential employers, they can see your CV at the same time and then contact you to arrange a full interview.
For employers MeetTheRealMe really helps differentiate between candidates – they aren’t looking for the next funny guy just someone who best fits the business and wants to go that extra mile to secure a position. By recording their own Virtual interview employers can also ask the questions for candidates to answer before they ever meet them.
What We Think
At What’s Good On The Web we think that MeetTheRealMe is a great idea that is bound to catch on. It helps candidates stand out from the crowd, saves significant time and resources for employers as they are not just setting up interviews based on a piece of paper and finally moves the recruitment industry into the 21st Century.
We think that MeetTheRealMe will catch on quickly as it is a real differentiator and they are bound to have loads of look alike sites very soon!!
