Unrabble – Effective Evaluation Tools

Unrabble is a web-app that managers and business owners can use to ease the burden and stress that goes along with making difficult hiring decisions. Unrabble guides users through the entire application process, with tools that expedite the process of advertising open positions, evaluating qualified candidates, and ranking the job seekers who seem best suited for the position at hand.

Jump on board with Unrabble and you can start making smarter hiring decisions in no time at all. When a new position opens up, you can instantly broadcast it on the social networks your company already uses, as well as Unrabble’s jobs board. Almost as soon as you’ve posted about an open position, the applications will start rolling out. This is where Unrabble really takes off. The web-app automatically organizes all the entries you’ve received and sorts them based on the necessary skills you’ve specified in your job posting. Without browsing through resumes or reading line-by-line details, you can get an automated list of all the candidates who fit the skills and qualifications you’ve selected. Candidates’ resumes are turned into interactive profile pages that focus on whatever it is that’s most important to you.

One of Unrabble’s most useful features is its verification tool, which hiring managers can use to verify the claims of candidates through searches on social networks and Google. The application also gives managers a way to communicate with potential hires without exposing their email addresses or phone numbers – a useful tool for anyone who doesn’t want to be bombarded with follow-up questions and resume submissions after a hiring decision has already been made.
