The Professional Diversity Network, a developer and operator of online networks and job boards for culturally diverse professionals, announced that it has acquired Resunate, a developer of recruiting software designed to connect job seekers, colleges, universities, and job placement companies with specific job postings.
Ressunate’s mission has been to increase the number of successful job placements through candidate provision of insight into how best to present oneself and which opportunities are best suited to the candidate. Through the acquisition, the company has gained a résumé optimization tool that is currently used by job seekers and career services offices in over 150 countries. The resume tool has proven to double an applicant’s interview rate through the use of interactive feedback on how to best tailor a resume for respective positions.
“This technology is extremely effective at securing interviews for our members while at the same time providing our recruitment clients with applications that best fit their criteria,” commented Ayan Kishore, PDN Executive Vice President. “The Resunate platform was developed by top recruitment sector experts, holding graduate degrees from Carnegie Mellon and MIT. This acquisition demonstrates the level of PDN commitment to investing in order to bring career opportunity to millions of diverse Americans and enable employers to recruit diverse talent.”
PDN, as part of the acquisition, will gain immediate access to the intellectual property and technology team of Resunate, ensuring a seamless competitive advantage for its users. As such, PDN’s 2.5 million members and customers, comprised of job seekers, employers, and recruiters, will see a substantial improvement to results. The integration of the Resunate brand and its résumé optimization technology are expected to be merged within the PDN suite of sites by the end of this year.
“The PDN acquisition of Resunate reflects a shared vision and common goals — that of showcasing top talent, and increasing access to desirable jobs for diverse professionals,” stated Mike Hernandez, PDN Chief Marketing & Communications Officer. “We look forward to working with the Resunate team to improve the experience and engagement of our users, with a view toward putting many more talented Americans back to work.”
