LinkedIn testing tool to automatically send curriculum


The next time you apply for a job opportunity it  is likely to send your LinkedIn profile instead of the traditional PDF of your resume. The startup is negotiating with large companies to adopt a special resource whose name could be translated as "Apply with LinkedIn" (Apply with LinkedIn), the second tells GigaOM.


The button apply for a vacancy could be implemented within the pages that companies typically use to announce job opportunities. When clicked, the user has the option to edit the information in your resume, and answers questions that the company wants to do, as the availability of moving to another city or state to take a new job.

When you finish editing your data, you confirm that registration for the vacancy has been successfully sent, and view professional contacts (registered on LinkedIn, of course) working in that company of dreams. Will see this additional information will serve to prep the contacts already if you need directions within the company.

If recourse to apply for a vacancy is actually released, LinkedIn will enter a new market very promising, the human resources and hiring through the web.

After all, sending resumes via LinkedIn has everything to expedite the selection process, since companies will have information about candidates in a standardized database, in which there is a tendency to search much easier.
