TROVIX.COM ADDS THE POWER OF SOCIAL NETWORKING TO OPTIMIZE JOB SEARCH
-- Supplementing Its Powerful Semantic Search Technology with Social Networking, Career Site Identifies Strongest Links for Securing the Perfect Job --
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- June 23, 2008 -- Trovix Inc., pioneering the use of semantic search for job seekers, unveils Trovix Connect™, its professional networking functionality for the rapidly-growing career site, Trovix.com. For the first time ever, the company has united the power of business and social networking with Trovix's proprietary semantic search technology, giving professionals the ability to connect and collaborate for a more rewarding job-finding experience.
Trovix.com provides an effortless way for professionals to remain aware of top and targeted opportunities in the fast-paced career market. The Web site combs through millions of current job openings on corporate career pages, major job boards, vertical and niche job sites, as well as Internet listings, presenting the most relevant career matches for each user. Even if a user's contacts change jobs, companies or careers, the Trovix networking layer keeps tabs on their connections and identifies them alongside relevant job listings. To get started, users can either invite friends directly or sync-up with any number of their networks, including Yahoo!, Gmail, LinkedIn or Hotmail email lists.
“The power to successfully harness professional and personal connections for a user's job search comes from the tight integration of our strong semantic search technology coupled with each user's social and business networks and work experience,” said Jeff Benrey, CEO and founder of Trovix. “Most people have dozens or hundreds of people in their personal network who would help them find a job. The challenge for job seekers isn't knowing who's in their network, but knowing which of their connections can get them to jobs that they want and are qualified for. With Connect, Trovix monitors people's networks for job opportunities that are right for them.”
Trovix Connect quantifies how connected users and their contacts are with a Net-Power™ score. It calculates this value based on a user's education, years of experience, previous positions, network size and number of contacts. The score demonstrates the market demand for the job hunter's work experience combined with their social and business networks.
The key behind the success of Trovix.com is based on the company's multi-dimensional semantic search technologies, which are uniquely able to “read-between-the-lines.” The online career site acts like a personal recruiter — focusing on the best, targeted opportunities based on a job seeker's work history, educational backgrounds, skills, abilities and goals. Trovix.com saves time for job seekers by showing them only the jobs that they want and are right for, rather than any listing that includes keywords.
