Cool Recruiting Tool...

And actually just a fun tool, in general. Have you ever seen a resume, business card, or Linked In profile and thought... "hmmm, I wonder what gender that person is..."? Well, fret not - this is the tool for you!

Check this out - it's a gender guessing tool: http://www.gpeters.com/names/baby-names.php?name=teel

Here's what it says about my name:

It's a girl!
Based on popular usage, it is 2.377 times more common for Meredith to be a girl's name.
The popularity of Meredith is: 4.914 (where 0 = extremely rare, 6 = super popular)

Here's what it says about Sheridan's name:

It's a boy!
Based on popular usage, it is 1.634 times more common for Sheridan to be a boy's name.
The popularity of Sheridan is: 4.765 (where 0 = extremely rare, 6 = super popular)


RIGHT-O. So obviously the tool works, even for a somewhat androgynous name like Sheridan.

Try it sometime! Miss Recruiter
