Press Release Summary: Job postings rarely attract top quality people - is there
anything we can do about this?

Press Release Body: So many times we see the same type of job postings on job boards
and newspapers and wonder why employers even bother posting them in the first place.
Stating that a position requires X years of experience doing this, and Y years of
experience doing that rarely attracts the top-quality people that employers want to
hire, and ultimately only adds to the number of unqualified and overqualified
applications employers need to process.

According to many HR experts, employers should be using job descriptions to attract
the right people, rather than attempting to pre-qualify them. Employers can do this
by focusing on the unique and exciting aspects of positions, the challenges
candidates might face, the type of work that needs to be performed and other aspects
of the job that prospective candidates might find appealing.

Though posting a job description that attempts to attract candidates may help
prospective candidates better understand what a position is about, job descriptions
still suffer from a fundamental limitation - they cannot provide all the information
necessary for different people to determine whether the position is the right one
for them to pursue. Therefore, rather than risking revealing their identities, which
may have negative ramifications with their current employers, and going on tedious
interviews just for the slim chance a position might the right one for them to
pursue, most people choose to avoid applying to job postings altogether.

What if prospective candidates could read a position's description and anonymously
ask the hiring manager questions about it, allowing them to find out the information
they need before revealing their identities or going for interviews, and what if
employers could effectively collect and easily respond to these questions?

Open communication between prospective candidates and employers that can provide
candidates with the information they deem important can assist employers in selling
their positions better, thereby encouraging the better-fit people to apply, and
limiting the number of least-fit people that apply. As a result, both employers and
candidates can save substantial time and effort on the recruiting process,
particularly in limiting the time spent on pointless interviews.

Job postings have been with us for quite some time, but in the 21st century
employers seeking top- talent people must take the next step and offer effective and
accommodating ways for these people to be able to explore new opportunities without
compromising their privacy or having to commit much time and effort to the
recruiting process.

###

Hiring top talent people is difficult at best. They are busy with other things,
fanatics about their privacy, and don't want to devote time and effort just for the
slim chance of landing the right opportunity.

Scopings focuses on the needs of professionals, especially the employed ones, and
provides them with a different kind of service to identify, explore and apply to
potential career opportunities with full privacy, much less time and effort, and far
fewer interviews.
