We are not announced publicly yet, but I'm working with a partner on a project called GeekRez (http://geekrez.com) which is trying to solve the problem you mention. There is some info up and you can sign up for notices, and we're planning on a beta soon. Resumes are not the future of search for devs. Hiring managers want to see other things beyond your self-assessed experience levels and a laundry list of buzzwords. GeekRez aggregates data from a handful of places like GitHub and/or BitBucket, Stack Overflow, Meetup, LinkedIn as well as other relevant links a job seeker would provide (publications, blogs, etc.). This is all brought into a single page with collapsible tabs as a public profile for a potential employer (or even someone you might be doing a side project with) to review. Devs can use it as a way to differentiate themselves from the competition and show off the strength of these accounts - obviously there would be no advantage for devs that have weak associated accounts to use the service. It is also set up so a manager could view several profiles side-by-side, to compare say 5 candidate profiles at once. Instead of looking at 5 PDFs and clicking on a handful of URLs in each PDF to get the full picture, it's all brought together on one screen. Feel free to check it out now, whether you are a dev or someone who will be hiring them. I'll post about it here on HN when we launch officially. |
