TalentBin Releases Free iPhone App with People Search Engine Technology

 Talent search engine TalentBin has released a free people-search app for iPhone based on the technology behind the company’s solution for corporate recruiters. The app, Lookup, allows users to look up and review public information about colleagues, business contacts, and other people in order to discover more about their professional and social interests. The information includes relevant online activity across the gamut of popular social networks and other online communities.

“A complete social profile is like a personality – it is inherently multi-layered and reveals the true essence of a person. Looking at someone’s social media activity on a single site, like LinkedIn, for instance, only portrays a limited view of a person’s online personality. And digging through dozens of Google results is really tough on a mobile device,” explained Pete Kazanjy, co-founder of TalentBin. “Lookup brings all the layers together, providing a more genuine and comprehensive profile – spanning both business and personal interests.”

Lookup’s user interface aggregates and cleanly displays a contact’s professional and social interests and resumes drawn from public profiles and online posts. The display includes links to social media profiles on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Quora, Meetup, and the U.S. Patent Office database.

“Our people search engine is roaring among corporate recruiters, due to its ability to create dynamic web resumes with social activity that would be laborious to find on their own. So with Lookup, we wanted to extend this same power to help business professionals and consumers alike, who could benefit from quick access to full social profiles in their daily lives,” Kazanjy added.
