QResume - Quick Response (QR) Matrix Code Resume Submission System

Finding and applying for a professional job has historically been a daunting, iterative and time-consuming task for job seekers; preparing an impressive resume, perusing newspaper classifieds and online bulletins, researching organizations, filling out pages of job applications, participating in lengthy interviews, and finally waiting for a (hopefully positive) response. From the perspective of the job recruiter, the process of posting for a job and finding the right person for the position takes a similar amount, but a different type of effort; creating position descriptions, scrutinizing of resumes, interviewing potential candidates, and making tough choices on the one(s) that may or may not fit the need. Recent advancements in technology have resulted in the job seeking and recruitment processes becoming more electronic, but these processes still remain time consuming and inefficient. The lack of information and/or due diligence on either side of the seeking or recruitment parties typically results in disappointment and prolonged searches. Without an efficient way to interrogate data (or the lack thereof), the decision for a seeker to apply, accept, decline or for a recruiter to interview, offer or reject is often gut-driven instead of data-driven. QResume is a system that brings together modern-day technologies in an effort to streamline the job seeking and recruiting processes. This system applies technology in said processes by utilizing personal and organizational data and infrastructure already existing in professional social media sites, taking advantage of efficiencies gained by mobile computing and barcode scanning, and implementing a data structure that can be interrogated by a compatibility algorithm. In other words, Q-Resume is a quick and efficient way to help both a job seeker and recruiter make a data-driven decision on whether or not they are right for each other
