The Zapper targets thousands of top
U.S. recruitment and search firms, commonly known as
Headhunters. Your resume is sent straight to the inbox of their
email. The company, in business since 1998, currently has
over 10,000 contingency and retained search firms as
members--including over 1,100 who do international placements.
This is not a resume posting site; rather, Resume
Zapper, with a laser-like focus, concentrates solely on
resume distribution to recruiters.
The Step-By-Step:
Sign up with a major credit card. The cost is $49.99 for the
basic service. Fill out a secure, online form and follow
the wizard to download your resume and cover letter. You'll
then receive two emails from the company. The first lets you know
they received your resume. The second lets you know your
resume was "zapped," and lets you know how many recruiters
received your resume. An additional service ($15.00) will
provide you with a list of those recruiters--by the firm's
name and the state in which that particular office
resides.
With the basic service, your resume and cover letter will be
sent to 600 general recruiters who have elected to receive all
resumes, as well as your choice of 3 industry/discipline
selections and up to 3 geographic filter selections. Industry
selections range from Accounting & Financial (1,458
recruiters) to Wireless International (429 recruiters) and
everything in between. By the way, you can choose additional
industries/disciplines to increase exposure to your resume.
It's $19.00 for each 3 additional industries you choose.
If there is interest or a placement fit, the recruiter gets
in touch directly with you.
Here's what we liked:
-
Industry targeting: company has compiled
a truly amazing number of industry/discipline
selections represented by member recruiters. And they
show you those disciplines up front.
- Every state in the U.S. represented in the
geographic filter selections. Pick the state you live in
(or better yet, want to live in), and they will
zap your resume to those recruiters who make placements in
those states.
- Keep your job search private with a
Confidential Email Box. It's $10 extra, but worth
considering if privacy is a concern.
- Optional list of all recruiters who received your
resume (additional $15).
- Your resume goes straight to email
in-boxes.
In summary, career counselors will tell you that the lion's
share of job opportunities never hit the radar. They're handled
quietly and out of sight by third-party recruiters who find
qualified candidates and place them in those jobs. If you have
3+ years of work experience and want to be in the running,
you need your resume in the hands of recruiters. Even if you're
a recent graduate, recruiters may be
interested--especially if you have a technology major or
post-graduate degree (i.e. an MBA).
Resume Zapper is focused on only one thing and they do it
extremely well--getting your resume in the hands of recruiters.
For the price of dinner out, you can jump start your job search
by emailing your resume to 1000's of top U.S. recruiters.
