How Entelo uses data to make your résumé passé. For many workers, landing a new job means crafting a great résumé that highlighted your experience, strengths and penchant for hyperbole.
For tech-industry employees, though, résumés might be headed for the dustbin of history. The act of actually getting their hands dirty looking for a job might be going there, too. One company that wants to speed the evolution of job-searching is a startup called Entelo, which launched on Wednesday and has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Battery Ventures and Menlo Ventures. Entelo Launches To Help Businesses Recruit The Best Candidates, Even If They’re Not Looking. Part of the reason that services like Coursera, EdX, Udacity, Codecademy and Treehouse are so exciting is that they hint at a future when quality education will be accessible to the masses and be affordable. Collectively, they represent a change in the model as a whole, even if we have no idea what that change will mean two years from now — 10 years from now.
Uncertainty aside, what we do know is that digital learning platforms today are making it easier to access information, to gain skills, to train for jobs and tests and to acquire knowledge in context and in personalized, engaging ways. Much to the delight of Peter Thiel, as it becomes easier to learn the things we need to learn, measure progress, and acquire the skills we need to enter the workforce through digital channels — independent of the traditional educational system — the system itself is devalued.
Honestly.com Becomes A Talent Search Engine, Renames Itself TalentBin. Honestly.com, a startup that allowed professionals to submit anonymous reviews of their coworkers, has been pretty quiet for the past couple of years.
Turns out that’s because the company has been busy reinventing itself. Today it’s unveiling a new product and a new name — TalentBin. Co-founder Peter Kazanjy says TalentBin addresses one of the big problems with Honestly, namely the lack of content. Rather than relying on users to create all the reviews, TalentBin looks at the content that already exists on the Web — specifically, people’s activity on a variety of social networking sites. Kazanjy calls that activity your “professional exhaust,” and argues that it contains lots of relevant information about your professional interests and accomplishments.
Science Shows Dating Websites Aren’t Better At Finding You Love. I was really hoping this article would have ended differently.
But after spending countless hours scanning tiny pixelated squares of people who were supposed to represent my mathematically determined soul mate, I found that online dating websites are modern-day versions of snake oil. I ended up back at bachelorhood after a long and expensive trek through computer-aided love services; I decided to look for love on the Internet mainly to test the hypothesis behind a blistering 50-page critique of hyped up promise of dating websites. “The heavy emphasis on profile browsing at most dating sites has considerable downsides, and there is little reason to believe that current compatibility algorithms are especially effective,” explained the team behind an article published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest.
