Next, we’ll explain how DecisionWanted.com works and what makes it unique compared to other job search platforms.
Understanding how DecisionWanted works is crucial for us to help you find a job effectively. So make sure to read this article until the end.
The uniqueness of DecisionWanted lies in its automated and precise job matching that aligns with your profile. The system constantly scans thousands of job postings from employers and determines which ones match your skills.
To understand how this works, let’s first look at outdated job search systems based on tags and the problems they conceal.
In such systems, you simply specify your tags (tags, not skills), for example, Java, Python, Project Management, along with general work experience, such as 10 years. Based on this information, it’s impossible to say exactly what those 10 years of experience mean—are they 10 years with Java, 5 years, or maybe just 1 year, with the remaining 9 years focused on Python, and so on.
Moreover, 10 years of experience tells nothing about your proficiency with a particular skill. Are you an expert in Java, or just at an intermediate level? Believe it or not, even with 10 years of experience, you could still be a beginner.
This only becomes clear during the interview with the employer and, in most cases, ends in rejection because your answers to these questions don’t meet the employer’s expectations. This process can go on for weeks or even months until you and the employer realize you’re not a good fit for each other.
Now consider that you could be applying for dozens of jobs at the same time, repeatedly answering the same questions from different employers: ‘How well do you know Java? How many years of experience do you have with it? How proficient are you in this language?’ Then the same questions about Python, Project Management, and a dozen other skills… This process can wear down even the toughest among us. Agree, it’s inefficient, time-consuming, and exhausting.
And this is where the skills-based job search service DecisionWanted.com comes to the rescue.
DecisionWanted optimizes the job search process, reducing it to seconds instead of weeks or months. Here’s how it works:
Unlike outdated tag-based systems, DecisionWanted is a true skills-based job search platform. Each skill is different from a tag in that it includes additional characteristics, such as the duration of experience with a specific skill and the proficiency level in that skill.
When creating your professional profile on DecisionWanted, you specify, for example:
Java, 10 years of experience, Expert
Python, 3 years of experience, Proficient
and any other skills you have…
Each job posted by employers on DecisionWanted includes the minimum required skills in a similar way. For example, it might require:
Java, at least 8 years of experience, Expert
Python, at least 2 years of experience, Intermediate level
Project Management, at least 5 years of experience, Intermediate level.
The system automatically matches the information from your profile with all available job postings and instantly finds exact matches, which are then immediately suggested for your consideration. Out of thousands of job offers, you will receive only those that perfectly fit your professional profile.
But that’s not all. Now we come to the most important feature of DecisionWanted — the system that automatically expands your skill profile and constantly opens up new professional opportunities for you, ones you might not have even considered.
Very often, a job requires skills that you’ve already listed in your DecisionWanted profile, but also skills for which there is currently no information. For example, as in the above-mentioned examples:
The job requires:
Java, at least 8 years of experience, Expert
Python, at least 2 years of experience, Intermediate level
Project Management, at least 5 years of experience, Intermediate level
And in your profile, you have:
Java, 10 years of experience, Expert
Python, 3 years of experience, Proficient.
As we can see, your Java and Python skills are a perfect match, but there’s no information about your Project Management skills.
In this case, the system will notify you about partially matching job offers and ask you to add the missing information to your profile, specifically details about your Project Management skills. This will take you literally one minute.
Moreover, there could be hundreds of similar job postings in the system that also require Project Management skills. By filling out the requested information just once, DecisionWanted, like your personal assistant, will automatically provide this data to all interested employers. You won’t have to repeat the process multiple times and answer the same questions from different employers—DecisionWanted will do this for you 24/7.
Once you add the additional skill information, such as ‘Project Management’ in the example above, the system will automatically check your profile against the minimum job requirements. If your profile matches, the system will immediately suggest these jobs for your consideration.
If you don’t have a particular skill, simply indicate ‘No experience.’ Rest assured, there’s no person in the world who knows everything. In this case, DecisionWanted will better understand which jobs not to offer you, as they require skills you currently lack. This will significantly improve the accuracy of recommendations and save you time.
This process is entirely dependent on the skills you possess and their demand in the jobs already posted or to be posted on the DecisionWanted platform.
Be sure to respond promptly to system requests to update your profile with additional skills, as it’s crucial in today’s job market to be among the first to apply for new opportunities. This will maximize your chances of success and help you land your desired job.
This is the main and most important principle of working with DecisionWanted: by creating your profile and specifying an initial set of skills, you set the starting point for working with the system. Success in finding suitable job offers depends on your timely response to system requests—updating your profile with additional skills required for jobs you’re potentially a good fit for. This process will repeat until the set of skills listed in your DecisionWanted profile matches the minimum requirements for the jobs where those skills are needed.
If you’re not receiving requests from the system to add new skills, it might mean that you didn’t specify enough skills when initially creating your profile. In this case, you need to manually add more information in the profile section on DecisionWanted to help the system better determine which jobs to consider you for.
Now, instead of spending hours manually sifting through outdated and inaccurate job postings, by spending just a few minutes updating your skills in your DecisionWanted profile as requested, your dream job will find you.
Treat this process like a game, and your dream job will come quickly. Good luck!
