Engagement model added into Buzzom Search

People search is one of the most important feature of Buzzom because it allows user to search for relevant profiles and connect with them. Making a good and long lasting connection means finding better profiles. But most tools available today do not have proper people search.

Buzzom indexes millions of open profiles and allows user to seamlessly search and filter users. You can give many criteria like bio, location and name; and search for the profile. You can even filter based on your followings and followers list.

Today, Buzzom has added another feature to the people search that will make user’s life much more easier. Now you can directly engage with the profile from the list itself. You donot have to go anywhere else. You can send DM or Messages directly from the console and its much efficient and productive.

You can search people in Buzzom by typing keywords on the top search text box. Once you search for any keywords, you will be presented with an advance Option. Click on the Advance options and insert your criteria.

On the user list, you can click on details to view bio or click on ‘@’ to send messages to the profile.

We hope buzzom user will enjoy this new feature and leverage their profiles.

How Company can use Buzzom to hire people.

Hiring or Firing are the two important steps which a company or an organisation take in-order to increase the efficiency of the work. But the increasing influence of social media is changing these processes. A lot has been written about the inefficiency injected into the company due to the social media. But we must not forget the value addition of social media to a business.

Currently, everyone can express themselves to the world through online social platform like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Blogs. Because of this, people are either getting FIRED or HIRED in a company. Its an interesting phenomenon occurring in today’s global society.

A research on human psychology has found out that maximum number of people’s online profile matches with that of their real profile, offline. This is a great finding which means that companies can trust on the online profile to judge a person. Therefore, a new way of HR sector is emerging where people are hired through Online search.

In today’s culture, Job will find the right person rather then a person finding a job. One of the fundamentals of Hiring is efficient people search. You want to get the right person for the right job. Buzzom is working on those lines to bring the efficient people search to the users, so that one can find the right person they are looking for.

Currently, Buzzom search allows you to search people in Twitter via their bio, location, names and tweets. Name and location search might be less important than the bio search in case of job. Entering a proper keywords in the search will immediately give you the person whose profile matches to your search query.

Here is a little demonstration of the buzzom’s people search :

Search for Java programmers and in an instant you will get a list of people related to java programmers. Now you are interested in them, the step would be follow them and start a conversation. If you find them right for the job and take the next step. This could be a time consuming process, but the current structure of social media encourages people to communicate rather than measure them.

Now try entering more keywords to filter your result, “java programmers, jobs” you will find that the result narrow downs to specific result. Here you can see the list of Job related twitter account specific for Java.

People search is going to be the next step in social media to leverage the business and economy. Content always has been the key to the internet, but the new way is about the human connection through sharing information. People search is the start of it and with time, the industry will be increase in profile measurement and management as a key to success in the Internet.
