Demo Says

If there is one tech sector in desperate need of an overhaul, it’s the online job market, which hasn’t progressed much past optimizing your resume with keywords. Trovix had the wherewithal to apply sophisticated semantics to the problem and has developed a job search engine unlike any you’ve seen to date. The company has produced hiring software for Hallmark, Juniper and Palm, among others, and is now applying that technology to a new online marketplace for job seekers. Through location parsing, sentence mapping, and data extraction from company Web sites, Trovix has developed a job search product that could very well be a Monster killer.
