The Camden, N.J.-based Rutgers University Institute is a leading provider of business training, executive and professional development programs in the Northeast region. Through grant-based funding, IMED provides the unemployed residents of NJ access to a number of non-credit career development certification programs.

MyBrand is a consumer-based career transition program that allows participants to access effective content, tools, and resources in an on-demand manner. It uses a proven, scientifically-based foundation that shapes the individual into a focused, highly differentiated ‘brand’ that stands out among the crowd of job seekers. The company developed the program and its proprietary Web 2.0, software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform as a way to help the millions of unemployed workers in North America get back to work quickly and affordably.
“We are excited to be the exclusive provider for Rutgers IMED,” said Careerminds CEO Raymond Lee. “Its forward-thinking reputation and commitment to excellence is an ideal backdrop for the MyBrand program. Our unique service is designed to make a real difference in the lives of talented individuals who are frustrated by the traditional job search process.”

Data Mining Uncovers the Unpublished Jobs
‘I sent my resume to ten job postings a day with no call backs’ is a common statement from job seekers looking for work in today’s ultra-competitive marketplace. ‘I’m frustrated. I know I am talented and possess the skill sets that companies are looking for. What am I doing wrong? Why am I not getting call backs?’
With over 14 million people unemployed, as reported in June by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the din surrounding the effectiveness of job search tools and techniques is increasing. Job seekers are finding that it’s more critical than ever before to have access to as many postings as possible in a single service. The problem is, even with sites like Indeed, Monster, and CareerBuilder, search results only reveal published openings. The result is hundreds—sometimes thousands—of applicants all vying for a single job.
While the current groundswell of skilled individuals submitting resumes is a good position to be in from the employer’s perspective, it’s not so desirable from the other side. So, what’s the next evolution in job search technology for consumers? How can 14 million eager-to-work citizens get a leg-up on the open market approach to finding meaningful employment?
Data mining is likely the solution.
For years, private and public companies, government agencies, and institutions have used data mining to sort through volumes of information to analyze trends, forecast, and gain strategic insight. Data mining is an information-search method that can be used to uncover hidden patterns of data reported by companies all over the world. Until now, it has never been used to help job seekers find possible openings before companies even publish them.
Recent advancements in job search technology are now coming to market. CareerConnect, a proprietary search platform offered by Careerminds is one of the first services to harnesses the power of data mining for frustrated job searchers.
How does it work? The job seeker establishes ‘trigger words’ that filter relevant data which may be a key indicator that a company is experiencing potential growth. As we all know, growth equals jobs. The triggers return data that reveal information about a company such as major contracts awarded, FDA research announcements, awards and recognition, earnings announcements, labor movements, management changes, patent approvals, loan approvals, as well as mergers and acquisitions. Events such as these often suggest that a company is poised to expand.
Using data mining to uncover this type of information early in the job search process gives applicants an advantage when marketing their skills and abilities. With the advancement of social media sites like LinkedIn, making contact with decision makers, hiring managers, and human resource personnel is easier than ever. In fact, Careerminds’ CareerConnect data mining job search engine will not only find unpublished job opportunities by vetting 17 million organizations worldwide, but it will automatically identify the LinkedIn contacts you have at all of those companies. Plus, the tool also features a unique job management dashboard that helps the user stay organized with just a few clicks.

Careerminds uses on-demand technology as an easy and cost effective way for companies to offer outplacement and career transition services competing directly with large outplacement companies such as Right Management and Manpower.
WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Careerminds Group, Inc., http://www.careerminds.com, a leading consulting company that specializes in on-demand recruiting and outplacement solutions has introduced a new, innovative technology called e-Outplacement. e-Outplacement is an on-demand solution that helps small to mid-sized companies provide outplacement services to their displaced employees at a much lower cost than traditional outplacement firms.

"Career coaching, resume writing, career workshops, and interview preparation are all available online through our total e-outplacement services," said Careerminds CEO Raymond Lee.

e-Outplacement is a complete on-demand program. It's available to displaced employees anywhere, anytime.
