So today we announced what we have been working on for the last 6 months: Urgent Career. Our team is attempting to pioneer the use of linguistic technology to match sales professionals with compatible career opportunities. Basically, we record and transcribe a phone call in which a candidate discusses his or her interests, experience and aspirations. Then our technology digitally deconstructs the conversation into thousands of data points that are algorithmically measured on 32 key dimensions of sales compatibility.
We put together a video to better explain the service.
The business model is simple: the service is free to Sales, Business Development and Account Management Professionals; corporate clients pay 20% of the base for each hire. I wanted to make sure the service was performance based, because I wanted the decision to be a no-brainier for CEOs and Sales Managers. That way we can get the best companies in the system, and concentrate our efforts on finding great sales talent. We still have a ton of work to do, but I am proud to say, many of companies that participated in our Alpha release have already hired candidates we identified.
