Creating Database Records Automatically

One of the biggest time savers in RESUMate is converting text resumes from any folder on your PC or server into database records.  This is an easy-to-learn function, but there are lots of details you may not be aware of.  You can customize your RESUMate program to work with candidate registrations at your website, or with resumes from Monster, Career Builder, or other job boards.  You’ll also learn how to customize your keyword list so you get the biggest searching head start from the automatic records you create.

Customizing RESUMate For Maximum Productivity

Naming all of the fields on the various RESUMate screens, and creating your own customized list of keywords is easy to do, but there’s more here than meets the eye.  How you name the date and text fields largely determines what kinds of reports you can extract from your database, and how easily you can create important daily documents such as lists of marketing calls, recruiting calls, and follow up calls.  Finally, good standard memos can also ensure consistency of data quality in all the records in your database.

Best RESUMate Searching Practices

Never overlook a qualified candidate again.  Learn how to create a search argument that will positively find all of the records in your database that match any job description.  RESUMate offers two search tools, called Easy Search and Full Search.  Learn when to use each one for best and fastest results.  Learn how to narrow down a search result, then save the search, and come back to it at a later time, picking up where you left off.

Tracking Candidates Through The Interview Process

Let RESUMate keep track of all of your interviews.  A few clicks update all records in your database simultaneously.  Click in an interview date, and all of the records in your database that “need to know” about this interview are updated for you simultaneously.   The few clicks needed to record an interview provide the biggest payback of any clicks in RESUMate, an even bigger payback than the automatic creation of a database record from a text resume.

Importing And Exporting In RESUMate

Text resumes are not the only source of new records for your RESUMate database. Directories (such as Hoovers), or any spreadsheet file can be used to create both company and contact records in RESUMate. You can also move records out of RESUMate to Excel files, to Microsoft Access files, to another RESUMate database file, or to Outlook’s Contact database (where they can be seen on your hand held PC).

Creating Reports From Resumate Records

There’s lots of reporting built into the RESUMate program itself, plus it’s easy to export data from RESUMate to create reports in Excel. EEO compliance reports, for example, are easily created in Excel using data from the RESUMate record, including the valid table section for race, gender, and ethnicity data. Reports can be printed, but can also take the form of PDF files for easy e-mailing to clients and others in your own organization. RESUMate’s 1-click Daily Planner can also create an instant “pipeline report,” detailing all active jobs and the people being interviewed fro those jobs.

Creating A Daily Plan From RESUMate

Beginning with the 2006 version, a comprehensive daily planning function was built into RESUMate. One click can display on a single screen the next 7 days of your promised and planned calls (Schedule and To Do items), plus a detailed list of all active jobs and the candidates still under consideration for those jobs, plus lists of calls with phone numbers and e-mail addresses. One more click displays all of this data in a calendar format for the coming month. Given how much data you can see on one screen with one click, learning this is time well spent.

Sending Bulk E-Mails From RESUMate

We all hate spam, but targeted bulk e-mailing is an important tool that any business that needs to communicate with large numbers of people must master. It’s easy to use RESUMate to send e-mail messages to all of the people found in a search, using Outlook, or programs such as Group Mail, or web-based services such as Constant Contact or Vertical Response, to send the message.
