Given a locale, time frame, and job title, the assessment service should be able to report the range of pay rates, the number of similar openings in the area, the number of active and passive candidates, and the number of people occupied in this or similar roles in this area. It might look like this. Every application service is open to competition. Rarely is only one approach the best for all situations. In some areas, like ranking or matching, there are wildly different approaches that are more suitable for one purpose or another.
ASPs publish the inputs and outputs for their services.
This level of openness promotes competition without revealing the magic inside the black box. Staffing firms and job boards aggregate application services. Folks who specialize in a particular niche can assemble the combination of ASPs they need and focus on branding and creating great experiences for their target audiences. This lets them flexibly compete on understanding and responding to the needs of their customers without an overwhelming IT barrier to entry. All rights reserved.
