INTRODUCING: The WSO Applicant Database. Take 5 minutes on WSO to Reach Hundreds of Finance Recruiters and Finance Companies

Given that we have built up relationships with hundreds of companies and finance recruiters, we thought instead of just a simple job board (which you can find right here), we would also create a WSO Applicant Database.

This vision for the database is to allow all WSO users to create a detailed "Applicant Profile" that can be used by recruiters and companies to find great talent. It is similar to an online resume you see on LinkedIn, but with a lot more detail around actual skills relevant to financial positions, scores and certifications so that recruiters can use it to filter through candidates that are a great match for their spots.

We are going to keep this free for the WSO community and once the database is large enough, start charging recruiters and companies for access to these profiles (we expect to roll out the profile search in 4-6 weeks to our recruiter and company contacts once it is perfected).

To get started, all you have to do is click on the green button below:

Create Applicant Profile Here

Each user is allowed to only create 1 applicant profile so as to ensure you are selecting the target industry and jobs that you are actually most interested in. The applicant profiles, however, are not tied to your username, will not be index-able by Google and will only be viewable to Recruiters/Companies that pay for access.

Please let me know if you have any questions. We put in a lot of thought of what to collect in these profiles, but if you think we are missing something or have any questions, then please fire away as always!

Thanks,
Patrick

Denied for me as well. Which is probably a good thing. I should likely be doing work instead.
