So the latest buzz seems to be to take data from other sources about your professional and personal life and tabulate it using some sort of algorithm and then show to the world as “where you stand among your peers” or “how you appear to the world” !
I say what???? So you think that taking data from sources like linked-In or Facebook or just scouring the web and then create your online “Picture” is something you will accept as a true picture of your abilities and your brawn…..
I say NOT ……
I mean that may work for a model of car or a computer but you are a Professional who has charted many trails to get to where you are today and there are many tales about your journey to success that no one knows anything about except you and some of your confidants and peers and close friends and family……so a real “You” is known by a few and only their input can paint a picture that is as close to you as you are….
That’s why we believe that providing a tool where your friends, peers and family members can provide honest and candid feedback is the way to go.
Now at many places you can get a “Recommendation” and post it online but what does that recommendation really say? Hmm…..”Bob is a nice hard working chap”………or…..”Andy is a great sales person with a focus on closing deals and delivering sales numbers”………or …….perhaps something like this…….”Jack went above and beyond the call of duty to help us get our system back up online and spent 3 days nonstop onsite until we were fully operational”…….
Well some of the above example do tell a good bit about what these folks are all about but other statements are just plain vanilla and non-computational……
We have created a platform where you can get a recommendation that truly highlights your abilities and your key differentiators. We provide the ability for your connections to rate you based on their real life interactions with you taking into consideration the circumstances of the interaction.
We believe that makes for a better “You” or “Me” picture ….don’t you agree?
Comments??…..post them below…. and happy trails through the jungle of life..
