Open Web™ is an innovative new recruiting platform that uniquely combines the benefits of social recruiting and data analysis. It meticulously scours over 130 of the top social and professional networks, expanding human resources professionals', recruiters' and sourcing professionals' reach to 100 million of candidates who frequent popular hangouts. Open Web then pulls out the key details to build a unique "super" profile of the passive candidates on the recruiter's radar. Each profile paints a multilayer picture including passions and interests — giving the advantage of personalizing communication. Once the recruiter has found the right candidate, Open Web offers many ways to make a meaningful connection and the opportunity to show why their company is the ultimate fit. Because it is easy to use and more robust, effective and efficient, industry leaders are using Open Web as their go-to tool for finding top tech talent. It brings the world's tech talent to their fingertips — in seconds.
Open Web has also been leveraged into a mobile app, Dice Recruiter, to facilitate recruiting on-the-go. Dice Recruiter helps recruiters source the best tech talent anytime, anywhere and across any iOS device — even tech professionals who aren't actively looking for a new job.

The data explosion is changing the way tech talent is recruited. Tech pros — especially passive candidates — expect a targeted, personal touch. Before Open Web, tech recruiters had to personally spend hours finding and filtering through the right data. Open Web by Dice is redefining tech recruiting by addressing the need for a personal, meaningful approach. Open Web leverages the publicly available data across billions of web pages and 130 social networks — and, in a few seconds, organizes it into one, unified profile including the candidate's professional experience, contributions, history and capabilities, passions and interests. Recruiters can communicate with candidates on the social media sites that they're most active on, and provide a unique and engaging experience based on the data from their profile. In short, recruiters can deliver better social media content to target the top tech professionals on their radar
Open Web™ uses Dice's big data regarding the tech industry that no other company has access to. Dice provides users access to the largest database of high quality tech talent that could not be found anywhere else on the web. In the U.S. tech space, Dice has email addresses for approximately 80% of all candidates and phone numbers for 25% of them. In fact, approximately 40% of our 5,000,000+ tech profiles are integrated with a Dice resume.
Every month, more than one million tech pros network, explore, and even apply to jobs on Dice. Although 43% of job seekers use mobile in their job search, 59% of recruiters invest nothing in mobile career sites. With Dice Recruiter, recruiters get the complete, 360-view on these candidates from Open Web to their mobile device. Recruiters everywhere have reinvented their recruiting strategies with the use of Open Web and Dice Recruiter.
