Stephen Fells, Follr CEO and Co-Founder adding “Follr users can now access job data provided by the leading source and most visited job site in the United States.”
Follr recommends that professionals take advantage of a variety of available resources to improve their resume with a focus on creating a Digital Identity Website. By doing so they are able to better market a wider source of skills, social influence, social media and personal attributes and history. Further leveraging the Follr network allows them to connect with other professionals and opportunities.
“Job hunting in 2014 is like nothing people have every experienced, quite simply job applicants need to do more than simply send in a single piece of paper with a historical list of job titles, dates and responsibilities” stated Follr Founder and Product Lead
Mark Wayman. He added “Our users are now able to create a modern, responsive, Web-based and effective resume while simultaneously having direct access to available positions. Over the next few months we will announce additional recruitment based functionality.”
