Resumark.com showcases full potential of Google Search

Saturday, August 29th, 2009 by Andrew Kucheriavy

If you ever wondered how Google Search technology can be utilized on a job website, check out Resumark.com.  With the help of Google Search Appliances, employers can search thousands of resumes and find the right one in a split second.

Resumark.com is a unique job site that pays job seekers every time their resume is downloaded by an employer.  The site collects resumes from job seekers and sells them to employers, while compensating job seekers for posting their resumes online. The model is unique and has been hugely popular.

Employers know that resumes come in all flavors and file formats.  When developing the website, Intechnic was facing a difficult task to come up with a fast and reliable system to accurately search and sort thousands of resumes in dozens of various file formats.


As soon as a new resume is uploaded, Google search appliances index it and continuously re-index resumes in the database for any changes. With over 100 file formats and 100 languages supported, the system is so versatile that it supports virtually any resume file format from old MS Word for DOS documents to latest Open Office document formats. What’s even better, every resume can be viewed online (Google converts it into HTML) without the need of installing or supporting any special software to view exotic or legacy file formats. No viruses either.  You can see the complete list of the supported file formats here: http://www.resumark.com/system/resume_formats.html

The power of Google search lets users employ the well known operators to refine their search results:

For example, if you want resumes for Java programming language but no coffee:

Or sales experience in Canada OR Mexico:

Intechnic has years of experience deploying and tailoring Google Search Appliance technology for clients’ needs. If you have thousands of documents that need searching and your existing search is not up to the task – give us a call.

Webcams and Time Lapse Videos

We’ve all seen those cool videos where you see a flower bloom in two minutes, a days worth of clouds pass by in thirty seconds, or a new high-rise “grow” from start to finish in a minute and a half in a time lapse video.  How are these made?  Assuming good weather, it’s possible to put up a camera outside to take pictures every couple of minutes.  With several year long projects, such as construction sites, where cameras are mounted high off the ground, weather is changing, etc. more commercial-grade construction cameras and wireless outdoor cameras are used.

webcams1The pictures themselves are then archived until they are needed on web hosting account.  Another application of webcams is that they’re a great marketing tool.  For new buildings, they let out of state donors see the live construction of their building.  For public places, such as concerts or carnivals, they’re quick to setup and allow showing activity and weather on a website to people who are thinking about coming out.
