Youandyourdata.com started in 2009 during a time when the unemployment rate was highest it had been in 30 years. Millions of people, who had no idea how much the hiring process had changed, were instantly thrown back into the job market for the first time, perhaps, since they’d left college.
Founded by John Pate, an HR and data collection professional, youandyourdata.com’s mission is to dispel the myths surrounding personal data and educate its readers about how data is affecting their lives. John is also the President /CEO of LS Screening and provides background checks to hundreds of employers across the country.
Youandyourdata.com can also help address and often repair incorrect data. Knowing what’s being reported can help you prepare for job interviews.
“I’ve been on every side of the employment equation. As the employer, I understand the need for quick service, controlled costs and reduced risk. As the service provider, I know how to deliver the right information in a manner the end user can understand, and, as a job applicant, I know what it’s like to wait for the phone to ring after I’ve submitted my application.”
With youandyourdata.com, John brings every aspect of his experience to bear in this unique approach to the challenges job hunters face in the “data-centric” world in which we now live. His approach and philosophy are simple: Everyone has access to the same data… it only makes sense that job applicants know what’s out there so they can proactively address the problem.
