CareerBuilder and Bing

CareerBuilder just partnered with Bing, Microsoft’s search engine, to launch Applicant Explorer, a tool built on Bing API that will allow employers to view public background information on a candidate in an online dashboard. Rather than manually sorting through applicant resumes and then searching the web for additional information to fill out a candidate profile, Applicant Explorer uses the Bing API to supplement CareerBuilder’s resume database with online results from public sites including social networking sites, blogs, corporate websites and forums.
