Job Searching Guide Alison Doyle reviews QuietAgent-powered AllianceQ on About.com. She refers to AllianceQ as a new breed of hiring solution that is more focused and strategic – a big shift from the confused and cluttered job board model.

AllianceQ is a brand new way of hiring. The hiring black hole that often happens when candidates apply for jobs and never hear back and where companies have to weed through masses of resumes is gone. In fact, AllianceQ takes most, if not all, of the guess work of hiring.

Raghav Singh writes on ere.net about QuietAgent’s unique approach, that incorporates the comprehensive O*Net database for classifying and matching, and isn’t about secret algorithms that recruiters have to blindly ’trust’ when it comes to finding the right candidates.

Matching technology is nothing new. Other products have been available for at least a decade. But most matching products are a black box. Using them requires having total faith in the methodology and algorithms developed by the vendors.

Chicago, IL (August 25, 2009) – QuietAgent.com, the leading provider of online rapid hiring technology for job seekers and employers, today announced the appointment of seasoned tech Curt J. Witte as its new President. Witte will be responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of the company’s global operations, and driving explosive growth of its simple-to-use Adaptive Selection™ rapid hiring tools.

Witte will be taking the QuietAgent.com technology to a massive market of employers and candidates who are just plain fed up with the problems of selection and hiring. Witte says, “The current model is totally broken in terms of high cost, long time-to-hire and poor candidate fit.  U.S. employers spent $58 billion last year with companies like Monster, CareerBuilder, LinkedIn, Facebook, Manpower, Google and Yahoo, to connect the right opportunity with the right candidate, while candidates spent hours frantically sifting through thousands of inappropriate opportunities, sending out resumes and registering on dozens of job boards and social media sites. QuietAgent.com is on a mission to constantly evolve its technology to dramatically slash cost and hiring time, while improving candidate fit – through its unique Adaptive Selection™ technology that seamlessly connects candidates and employers without all that friction.”

Witte continues, “In today’s environment of 10%+ unemployment, it is totally unacceptable that millions of jobs sit unfilled because the selection and hiring tools available are costly, slow and not designed to solve the real problem of getting people hired faster. We are very passionate about solving that inequity, and I strongly encourage everyone, employed or not, recruiters and job seekers, to come to www.quietagent.com today and register, so we can help America get back to work faster.”

Mr. Witte has a proven track record of success in software, business services and technology with over 15 years of experience, from scaling start-up ventures by over 14x, to running $10b Fortune 50 lines of business, with specific experience in strategy, marketing, sales, product management, finance and business development. He has held senior positions at leading companies including: AT&T (NYSE: T), Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH), Lexington Financial Partners, First Investors Corp, CommSoft Partners LLC, Peopleclick and Firm58. As CEO of Peopleclick, he raised $33m of VC funding, increased revenue 2400% and increased clients from 40 to 3000. His successes at Firm58 included increasing revenue 500%, and completing an $8.5m capital raise. Mr. Witte graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in economics and was a Rothschild Scholar at the Kellogg School at Northwestern University where he received an MBA.

QuietAgent.com’s leading Adaptive Selection™ hiring tools have been used since 2004 by employers, recruiters, governments and workforce and community organizations to pinpoint the best qualified and mutually interested anonymous candidates. QuietAgent.com is the power behind the recently launched United We Work initiative (www.unitedwework.org), a free, nationwide recruiting service designed to stimulate hiring in America.
