randrr is a free career opportunities platform focused on providing individuals with insights to take control of their career development by helping them to identify and align with the opportunities they are best suited for. randrr’s goal is to be the only resource that people need to manage their career objectives. Here I take a closer look at the randrr platform.
Why the need for change?
randrr stands for ‘reinventing and revolutionizing recruiting’ and was developed to place the job-seeker at the centre of the job search process rather than the company, and to help people to take control of managing their careers. From their market research, feedback randrr learned from job-seekers included:
~72% of respondents indicated that online job search technology was not intuitive or transparent. Online job searches and applications registered negative feelings, with the words ‘frustrating’, ‘disappointing’, and ‘depressing’ often being applied. In addition, job-seekers indicated that they want more feedback during the application process, more relevant and up-to-date jobs visible online, and an easier process to find jobs.
randrr aims to address these concerns by connecting people and companies in a better way – for example, using Zillow as an analogy (which allows you to see how improvements made to your home should increase its market value), the same principle can be applied to careers. Education, acquired skills and experience all increase a job-seeker’s personal value and marketability to prospective employers.
randrr approach & capabilities
The randrr approach puts the candidate at the center of things, providing the knowledge to help candidates feel confident regarding the career choices they make. This can include changing jobs, as well as exploring and taking actions to support their long-term plans and objectives. Recent recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) research conducted by NelsonHall shows that improving candidate engagement and satisfaction is of paramount concern, is one of the top drivers for companies seeking help from RPO specialists, and is also a key criterion by which vendors are ultimately selected. In NelsonHall client interviews, candidate satisfaction scored 80%. This might seem a high rating, but when asked about future importance of candidate satisfaction, clients scored it 90%, so there is clearly still an expectation gap to fill.
Phase 1 (closed beta release) of randrr started in May 2017. randrr is built to run on mobile first (>75% of all people searching for a job today do so using a mobile device); however, it also runs on other devices.
randrr allows individuals to discover their career potential and explore options for defining career paths that will help them achieve their goals. This is all done privately, so that no one else will be able to see jobs being considered, changes to job-seekers’ resumes, etc. randrr capabilities include:
Looking ahead
The following randrr enhancements are planned:
Summary
randrr helps job-seekers discover their career potential and identify the next career move to make. It also lets individuals set career goals and provides a path for achieving them. randrr helps candidates to understand their marketability based on skills, education and experience compared to others in the same position. randrr then identifies gaps to be filled (e.g. the main skills to be acquired) to enhance marketability and make progress on the job-seeker’s career path.
While built for the job-seeker primarily, a key benefit for employers is that companies with job openings will have a wider pool of the right talent available to them by reaching candidates identified as having the right skills and experiences.
The anticipated go-live date is early fall, 2017. Users can register for early access by visiting https://randrr.com/.
~3-4 months after go-live, I will interview users of randrr to get their feedback on benefits obtained and gather feedback on what enhancements they would like to see in the future.
