With a name like The Resumator there is no need for a catchy title. An AlphaLab graduate, The Resumator is a company and product. The Resumator aims to make the hiring process simple, efficient and cheap. Currently aimed squarely at small and medium sized companies, The Resumator has gained traction with startups in Pittsburgh and Silicon Valley.
The premise is simple, just like the product. Resumator works to gather, categorize and gather statistics on any number of different areas for recruiters and “HR” folk. Unlike other products in the market, The Resumator does not offer a turn-key solution, rather, they create a product that is usable for someone expecting a decent number of applicants. It’s great for a growing and popular start up.
Locally it is used by MobileFusion (also an AlphaLab grad) as well as the better known Silicon Valley start up, Dropbox (the terrific online back-up and storage app). After being launched in January 2009, The Resumator was profiled by all of the big technology blogs including Mashable, ReadWriteWeb and CNet.

This Pittsburgh start-up is another that isn’t about robotics or biotech. It’s solid business-to-business app that nicely meets it’s customers needs. The online “cloud” or SaaS (Software as a Service) apps are nothing new – small business get great advantages from using them. Popularized by 37Signals’ collaboration tool Basecamp, small business now have a suite of products from many innovative companies to meet their needs. Less Accounting, MailChimp, FreshBooks and others round out a number of apps that aim to support the small businesses by offering the traditional business needs in the cloud. The Resumator holds it’s own and so long as they keep innovating and producing a great product they will be another Pittsburgh success story.
