SkillSniper is pioneering new technologies in the employment industry.  We are powered by a 100% skill-based platform.  We go past the resume level and down to the actual job skill and experience level, providing the best advantage to skilled job seekers. We also invented the concept of skill-based job postings.  These one-of-a-kind job postings filter out unqualified candidates.  This lets the skilled and experienced job seekers stand out.

Traditional job sites are driven by Boolean keyword text searches, which is very old and ineffective technology.  For example, if you are a nurse and an Employer searches the word "nurse", then every job seeker's resume that mentions the word "nurse" will come back in the results. Even the inexperienced job seeker who said "I hope to become a nurse" in their resume! Then guess what happens? A hiring manager gets to sift through hundreds of unqualified resumes and the experienced job seekers often get overlooked.

We are able to execute the most targeted searches available and our pricing is set well below industry standards.  This Skillsnper technology allows us to not only provide great service, but we help employers reduce their cost-per-hire.  This maximizes the number of job seekers that get jobs.

A skill-based job posting is the solution to problems associated with traditional job postings. They eliminate the need  to spend days or weeks sifting through unqualified candidates.  A skill-based job posting will automatically identify the most qualified job seekers.  This gives experienced job seekers a huge advantage over less qualified job seekers.

Rest assured, we don't like getting junk email either. We will NEVER sell your email address.

On the SkillSniper home page, click Sign In and then click the  'Forgot Password' link. A separate box will pop up where you need to enter in your email address and click the 'Recover Password' button.  An email will be sent to your email address with a link. Click the link you receive and you will be able to change your password.

Not receiving emails from SkillSniper? Add 'noreply@skillsniper.com' to your safe sender list in your browser.

Make sure you navigate to the correct month and year that you are trying to find.  Then, click your mouse pointer on a specific date in the calendar and that date will be entered in the field you are on.

To inactivate your account, simply remove your Availability Date from your dashboard.  Your account status will be 'Invisible'.  You will not show up in searches.  Anytime in the future when you are looking for another job, you can simply add an Availability Date and you will be 'Visible' again to employers.

To remove your Availability Date, click inside the Availability Date box on your dashboard and then click the 'Clear' button and your Availability Date will be removed. 

If you wish to completely remove your account from SkillSniper then just send an email to support@skillsniper.com and put 'remove account' in the subject line.  This email must be sent from the email address used to originally create the account.  If you are looking for work in the future, then you can always create a new account.  However, inactivating it will save you time in the future if you are once again looking for a job.

Skillsniper is different than traditional job boards.  It is built on a skill-based platform, allowing the skills of experienced job seekers to immediately stand out from those that are less experienced.

It is free for job seekers to create a profile.

Your profile will show up in searches as long as your Account Status on your dashboard page is VISIBLE.

To get a VISIBLE status, you do NOT have to show 100% completion.  Some job seekers don't have certifications or security clearances. 

To get a VISIBLE status do the following on your dashboard:

• Validate your email address through a link we sent you.  There will be a resend link if it is not validated yet.
• Enter in your "Date of Availability".
• Make sure all items in the 'Required' column are completed.

You can set your email preferences to get reminders to update your availability and to be notified when someone views your profile.

There is no set time. We wish we could tell you that it would be immediately - and it sure could be. We do have an Auto Search function. What this means is that once you create your and set up your Profile, it is possible that you might get matched immediately to the requirements of an employer.

It is optional, however, to increase your odds of being selected, it is highly recommended that you include your preferred range. When employers search for job seekers, they will typically have some kind of pay range in mind. Therefore, they may pass you up for other job seekers that have specified a range.

You can always negotiate within your range once an employer contacts you. Understand that many employers want to make sure that you are within their range before committing any time to calling you. You can modify your salary or hourly range at any time. If you are an hourly employee then you can also include a preferred salary range if you choose.

No, you will need to negotiate travel expenses with an employer. The reason is that expenses will vary depending on your location and the contract location. You will need to figure this out when negotiating a contract.

Some helpful tips - the main expenses you will need to consider are:

• Airfare if you must fly to your destination

• Hotel accommodations if you are staying overnight

• Transportation - car rentals or driving your own personal vehicle

• Meals - either actual costs or per diem amounts

At SkillSniper, we stongly believe in the value of job clubs and networking groups.  Therefore, we make listings available to job seekers so they can find a club or group that fits their needs.  In addition, we don't charge job clubs or networking groups to create a listing and advertise their club or group.  This is another free service provided by SkillSniper to enhance the job search experience for everyone involved.

Adding a free job club or networking group listing is simple.  Click the "Click to Add Your Free Listing" button and fill out the form.  You must fill out the contact information, but you will choose which fields you wish to have displayed in your listing.

Anyone can add or update a job club or networking group listing.  However, all new additions or updates will all need to be approved by the facilitator and the SnillSniper job club/networking group administrator.  If there is more than one facilitator listed then each will receive an email when there is an update made.  Only one of them has to approve the update.

To keep listings fresh for job seekers and avoid old job clubs and networking groups from being displayed, an automated email will be sent to the facilitator every six months asking them to validate the content of the listing.  It will only take a few seconds to do this and is the only thing we require you do do in order to advertise your club or group for free on our site.
