zTalent is a community created for technical professionals to showcase their skills, establish credibility, connect with other technical professionals, and get noticed by employers and recruiters.

If you're an employer you know that resumes alone do a poor job of accurately representing people's skills and accomplishments. Many people pad their accomplishments or make outrageous claims on their resumes, and you probably spend countless hours manually screening job candidates to cut through the fiction.

If you are a job seeker your problem is not only reaching potential employers, but standing out above the noise of exaggerated claims by lesser qualified or unqualified candidates.

If you contribute your opinion to discussions, blogs, Wikis, etc. you need to work hard to establish your credibility within each on-line venue before people begin to take you seriously. zTalent saves you time by enabling you to showcase your skills from a central location as a badge of credibility that you can link to from your signature.

zTalent members use zTalent's free tools to accumulate reputation points that show off and substantiate their skills and accomplishments.

Reputation points are easy to accumulate and come from a variety of sources. For example you can take tests that confirm your skills.

You can also earn points by listing your skills and accomplishments, which you then invite people you have worked with to confirm.

You can even earn reputation points and show off your knowledge and proficiency by contributing tests or test questions.

Everyone's got opinions. If you're wondering whether someone really knows what they are talking about, just check their zTalent reputation.

Like sites such as Wikipedia, zTalent's tests and test questions are contributed by the community. Who better to write test questions, especially about technical material, than the people in the trenches?
