Welcome to the RiseSmart Blog
If you’ve found this blog post, you’ve arrived at the home of RiseSmart, a new subscription-based search service for online jobseekers. For senior-level professionals who have been frustrated with the challenges of searching for jobs online, RiseSmart offers a fresh approach — and a helping hand.
Traditional online job searches can be difficult, to say the least. First, jobseekers must decide which of the thousands of Web sites to utilize in their search. Then, they must run manual queries on each of the sites they choose; often, they are required to upload resumes and complete lengthy profiles as well. Finally, they must wade through a deluge of automated search results — the majority of which are poor matches.
It’s not a fun process — in fact, for many, it’s the single biggest barrier to finding a new job.
So, with the millions of job boards, corporate HR pages, and others listings online, how can you give yourself the best chance to find a job that is the right fit for you?
Unlike competing job search sites, RiseSmart runs searches for its members and then prescreens the results, ensuring that you receive only the most precise job matches. We are dedicated to helping our members search smarter – so they can rise faster in their careers.
You can learn more about our service from this two-minute video.
In addition to our job search service, RiseSmart offers ancillary services to members — including resume writing, market intelligence, salary information and more. We’ve also created the RiseSmart Blog as a way to share our insights and join the online conversation with senior-level jobseekers, HR bloggers, and executive recruiters. As an additional resource for jobseekers, we’ve assembled some of our favorite career-advice feeds in our Research and Insight section.
We’re going to continue to tinker with these resources as we work to enhance the RiseSmart service offering. Please leave a comment or drop us an e-mail to tell us what you think!
This is a smart tool to help professionals work smarter and not harder. I have used Monster for years and it is such a beating to go through so much stuff to find so little. Based on what you said here, RiseSmart is turning this process on it’s side. I am looking forward to how it will help me get where I want to go in my career.
After an excellent financially successful early career in sales, marketing, public relations and advertising, including owning a successful international medical marketing firm, I took some detours. Detours like entrepreneurial ventures that flopped, and electing to move closer to be with my children.
I have found it very easy to jump off of the fast moving train, but very difficult to get back on.
So far, I have been very pleased with RiseSmart.
Most important is it is not just a bunch of click here, and click there. I have real people, like a counselor named Dan, who spent most of his Sunday getting my job search on the right track, again.
Way to go, Dan!. Thanks. Tim Taffe Iowa City
Very impressed with the site so far. Look forward to seeing the results it generates…
