CVSelector

Sure enough the heavier your background the more chances there are at finding a job. All of these activities however, need to be carefully enlisted in what’s known as a CV or resume. If you’re an employer, then you might want to make use of applications like CVSelector, allowing you to easily find the right candidates from a pool of CVs.

First of all, you need to know that the application requires Java Runtime Environment to functions, so you might first need to make sure it’s on your computer, but it’s also included in the installer to save som effort. On the bright side of things, this also means that it functions on other operating systems than Windows.

Truth be told, the interface doesn’t really sport a style to make it stand out from the crowd, and it might take a little while before you fully get the hang of things. The structure is not overwhelming though, with most of the space representing the results sheet, and a side panel to manage criteria of interest.

In order for the operation to be successful, you first need to set up your CV database. Target documents don’t really need to be under a particular style, because the application merely looks up text inside. It supports a variety of file formats such as DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, RTF, XML, ODF, HTML, and PDF. Multiple locations can be set up as CV databases.

As far as criteria management is concerned, your effort narrows down to setting up one or more groups, or model of criteria, in which you hold the exact tags you’re looking for inside the CV. As such, the application is nothing more than a text search application which can look up words in a variety of documents types.

All things considered, we can state that CVSelector comes in handy for large businesses having a difficult time going through an abundance of job applications. You easily set up criteria of interest, and the application can quickly locate the target CV files with support for a decent variety of formats.
