The following article appeared in the August 2001 issue of
Sorcerer's Apprentice, a free newsletter by Bret Hollander of
NET RECRUITER
with Cutting Edge Tools for the Internet Recruiter.
Don't ask me why, but I always get a kick from meeting or
talking with people from the land down under. A couple months ago, I got an
email from some Australian who said I had to see his software product. Of
course, understand that I get about 25-30 of these requests every month. His
product, called ResumePipe, claimed to automatically extract and process all
files either attached or contained in the message area of Microsoft Outlook.
For recruiters using Outlook, this promised to be an incredible g-dsend.
So after several tests I became a believer. This wonderfully
simple application not only processes every attachment and message, but can
also recognize those files that are resumes and process them in any set of
predefined formats. It can also filter and automatically strip out any
extraneous header or footer data and give you that perfect scannable resume.
ResumePipe is but a small player in the arsenal of killer apps that this
Aussie has devised for us recruiters.
