Online Profiles Get  You Noticed

Maximize your job search with online profiles.

Maximize your job search with online profiles.

More and more, businesses are using online professional networking through Zoominfo to find job candidates. Headhunters often go to this search engine or LinkedIn first, before they advertise a position. If  you’re seeking a job, make sure you have a profile on these networks.

Get in the game

You may have searched for people in your area or people who went to your high school on a social network to find your friends. Job recruiters and others who are hiring use the Zoominfo search engine to locate the skill set they are seeking. Whether you are seeking a job restructuring personal loans or grooming dogs, a Zoominfo profile is a good idea.

“All corporate recruiters and probably 20 percent of the headhunters in America have Zoominfo accounts,” according to financial blog Bukisa.

What is Zoominfo?

Zoominfo is a search engine that scans the web for professional information on both businesses and people. Businesses have used Zoominfo for years. With unemployment and underemployment climbing every day, more people seeking jobs are creating profiles.

The Zoominfo search engine and network, and professional online networks such as LinkedIn are getting more attention than ever.

Your information

When you go to Zoominfo, make sure to include as much helpful information about yourself as you can. Zoominfo will ask for your skillset, degree, city and functional title. This is also what recruiters are looking for when they use the search engine.

“If you’re in ZoomInfo with a picture, we’re going to call you first. Just reverse engineer what recruiters are doing so you get found,” writes a professional headhunter.

Get unpublished jobs

The few employers out there who are hiring instead of considering layoffs are fully aware that the huge pool of unemployed workers is their oyster. Zoominfo makes it easier for recruiters to see who is out there quickly. If a hiring manager can avoid having to go through the lengthy process of advertising a position, they probably will.

Anything you can do to make a recruiter’s job easier will make your own life easier in the long run. A Zoominfo profile will get you in front of a bigger audience.
