Video Social Network Recruiting: uBoast
September 12, 2008
For job seekers looking for work on the East Coast who have exhausted all normal online job sites there is a new recruiting platform offered by uBoast. This new recruiting platform allows account holders to create video resumes to showcase their skills to a new breed of recruiters willing to use cutting edge technology to find job candidates. uBoast is able to partner with local Universities to help students excel their careers by providing them with interview tips and best practices in order to develop confidence that will develop compelling video resumes. They reach out to recruiting agencies and employers to find out what they are looking for in an employee to better help their candidates align themselves with the right employers. uBoast also offers services related to video creation coaching, filming & editing, and hosting of account users video resumes from within their professional Web site.
uBoast describes their video resume services as a means of allowing job seekers to "show off their mannerism, energy, confidence, professionalism, and communication abilities." The company also makes its services available to recruiters and describes those services as "helping employers establish a more complete overall impression of the applicant (Applicant's personal page will include their video resume, paper resume, answers to interview questions, endorsements, references, Google links, and portfolio docs) all on one screen."
This type of service will make it easier for employees to provide a better impression to hiring companies as well as give recruiters the best depiction of each candidate looking for work. The site and services are pretty new but should look promising to individuals seeking to use technology to the fullest extent when trying to find employment. Social media is now changing the way everyone looks at finding jobs as well as candidates online. I have a feeling more sites like this will be hitting the market to meet the needs of social media adopters looking for work online.

I thought this site might be interesting fodder for a blog post...it's a pretty cool link building resource/community I just came across: http://www.bpswap.com. The forum seems new, but could blow up if it got a good user base, i think

Unfortunately, this site does not have good SEO. The profiles are all served up with query strings instead of using clean URLs. This means that the user's name is nowhere to be found in the URL. The user's name is also not found in the H1 tag, or any Header tag for that matter. While a user can send a link to it to someone, in the world of Google, if your page can't be found by searching, then what good is it.

Jason,
You are very right that the profile pages needs to be customized with the user's name in the URL as well as to have the ability to be searchable.
I can promise you that within the next two week that our company will work to make both those requests a reality.

Hello, if you happen to be trying to make more money on-line you must look into a brilliant new guide to creating your own Information Products. Most people begin with internet affiliate marketing, but this method is a lot simpler and more profitable (and I find it much more rewarding as well, creating my own merchandise). The perfect thing is, rather than attempting to persuade individuals to purchase another person's product, this information reveals how one can earn cash by selling people precisely what they want! It is a lot easier, and way more profitable! Click on right here to find out more ... but be quick, because they're closing the doors on the Sixteenth August to ensure that the strategies do not get over-saturated

I used to have a web site like this once, but it got spammed so bad I had to shut it. You seem to be better at weeding out the spam! Well done!
