New search engine specifically for HR and hiring managers

Most managers and HR pros perform impromptu background checks online before offering an applicant a job. Here’s a new tool that might make that process easier.
CareerBuilder recently announced a partnership with Bing, Microsoft’s new search engine, to release a service called Applicant Explorer.
Free to employers that subscribe to CareerBuilder’s resume database, Applicant Explorer is basically a search engine specifically designed to search for people.
The engine collects all references to candidates’ names on the Web, giving you a picture of their “online footprint.” Results will include comments posted on message boards, social networking profiles, contributions to blogs and articles that mention the candidate.
CareerBuilder stresses the service isn’t just about digging dirt. By pulling all types of sources, Applicant Explorer should be just as likely to offer positive information on candidates.
