StandoutJobs Partners With Scribd

StandoutJobs is announcing a partnership with Scribd tonight. The partnership takes Scribd’s iPaper application and brings the functionality to StandoutJobs’ Reception candidate tracking system. The idea is pretty simple - rather than forcing the Reception user to download a resume and then view it in the application that created the resume, now they can view it directly inside of the candidate’s folder. The employer can also view supporting documents using iPaper as well.

While founder Benjamin Yoskovitz doesn’t make any references to the candidate side, I assume any documents that the employer wants to share with the candidate could also utilize the iPaper plugin.

What I like about this partnership is that it will allow candidates to upload the formats that work best for them — they aren’t forced into Microsoft Word or a PDF. 

Here’s an example of the iPaper integration:
