PeopleAhead.com -- Career Advancement for Experienced Professionals

PeopleAhead.com officially launched this week, so we decided it's time to explain a bit about ourselves.

First and foremost, PeopleAhead.com is a career advancement website. We culminate the career advancement process using our TrueMatch technology, which intelligently fits our members' multidimensional profiles to aligned career opportunities. TrueMatch eliminates the frustration of a job search by notifying professionals of positions that fit their professional background, competencies, and interests, and by empowering our network to input their own opinion of who would be a good fit for each opportunity. In this way, we help working professionals find relevant opportunities and hiring companies locate top talent in a highly targeted way--without the frustration of random resume and job-posting searches. Our recent coverage in Xconomy.com explains TrueMatch well.

At the same time, getting hired into the next position is just one piece of career advancement. Instead of moving laterally, PeopleAhead helps professionals advance their careers by making it easy to engage their existing network of trusted professionals in meaningful, effective career-related activities. In PeopleAhead, members share their career vision and action plans with colleagues, professors, mentors, advisers and friends in a private community environment that facilitates the open exchange of sensitive topics that cannot be shared in open social and professional networks. In doing so, members get the advice they need in order to make critical career-related decisions, such as which MBA school to choose, how to move from an associate role to a consultant role, or simply how to tackle an upcoming marketing project.

Together with our official launch, LinkedIn members can now import their existing LinkedIn profile into PeopleAhead to kick-start the PeopleAhead career advancement experience. If you're curious about our TrueMatch technology, use your LinkedIn info. to get your 10 second TrueMatch test drive. Once registered, you'll be ready to privately share your career plans, your vision and start getting on the two-way street to career advancement.

Please enjoy!
