It is evident from his words that they are way ahead of the competition using ResumeGrabber. The product is stable and hardly requires any technical knowledge. The product requires minimal effort, time and cost to separate thousands of resumes into two piles, one for those who should not be considered and another for those that require further screening. Most recruiters agree that ResumeGrabber is definitely a recruiter's essential to screen hundreds of resumes for a position.
