Tired of staring down a virtual “pile” of resumes? The Resumator is a handy app that makes collecting resumes and selecting candidates much more efficient. Instead of sifting through an email inbox stuffed with resumes, the Resumator lets you filter, organize, rank and track them.
Here’s how it works: instead of writing up a job description and posting it on job boards, sign up for the Resumator and enter your job description there. You’ll be able to specify characteristics that would make an applicant stand out, such as college GPA or whether or not the candidate is willing to relocate. Then, you can use the Resumator to post your job listing on free job aggregators like Indeed and SimplyHired. You can also create a dedicated web site to host your job listings, or grab code for widgets that can be placed on your own site. Jobs can also be easily shared via social networking sites.
When resumes start to come in, instead of having to go through them in the order they were submitted, you can filter to see which candidates best meet your desired qualifications. You can also rank them using a 5-star rating system and comment on their resumes to discuss them with other members of your hiring team. Every step in the hiring process is tracked, and every activity from resume submissions to comments appears on a real-time feed in the Resumator dashboard. Plans range from free to $199 per month, depending on how many jobs you need to post at one time. All plans come with a 14-day free trial.
The Resumator site is well-designed and intuitive to navigate, and it definitely seems like it would simplify the process of sifting through a stack of resumes to find the best candidates for a position. I like that it saves trees, too, since you don’t have to print anything off. What do you think of the Resumator?

The resumator is one of the best simple ATS-like web application out there. And there are many. Its strength is in the sourcing of candidates. As it smartly braodcast your job ad on many different free job boards and social networks.
The resumator is build on resume management. There is no recruitment process management.
http://haystackHire.com is less sourcing oriented but is more project management based. It structures your recruiting process.
You can also consider ApplicantStack or Newton software for good quality ATS-like applications.
Cool, thanks!
I’m sorry I’m on the other end of this deal. Looking for a job applying online, wondering why all I get is an automated response and then nothing. Obviously I don’t have the keywords.
I think this is possibly the 2nd worse thing to have come into the employment scene. My heart bleeds for all those poor HR and recruitment ‘specialists’ out there after all isn’t it supposed to be their JOB to sift through and ‘find’ the people a company requires through their intimate knowledge of the position to be filled and their highly skilled techniques of team development.
But we don’t need to find out if a person is dedicated to their job and we know that generally employers don’t look after their employees anymore and what they give is what they get, faithless drones, here today gone tomorrow. Another job, a bigger title. bah.
I understand where you’re coming from, Jay. Looking for a job is frustrating, especially with the economy the way it is. On the other hand, if you’re applying for a job where you’re exactly what HR wants, it seems like you’d stand a better chance of getting seen if they’re using an app like this. So I think it can work both ways.
Best of luck to you, and I hope you find something soon!
Thanks but no, I don’t think you do. I’m 55 years old spent 25 years running my own successful businesses and companies sold all at profit. Had hundreds of staff some better than others but I chose every single one myself.
What they had, or had learned before working for me was good but most importantly they had personality, an engaging method of interacting with customers, business, peers, and myself, a quality far more important than a certificate or a degree. Even if most of the ‘boxes’ weren’t checked I was quite capable of teaching them what I required from their position in my firm.
Now I am very good at what I do and I have numerous certified qualifications to my name right back to university in the 70′s because I’m an obsessive compulsive learner. Business, logistics, accounting, fine arts and all I’m looking for is a simple job but I don’t have the ‘keywords’ and I don’t have the patience to deal with ‘micro-managers’ that feel intimidated by employing someone they think might take their job.
Seems I have some learning to do today.
Kind regards J
Just for the record -These ‘micro-managers’ cause more problems for employees and for business by annoying staff with tattling and petty observations usually obtained when people are off the clock because if there really IS a problem that’s effecting performance then it’s a training issue and usually out of their league.
