OneWire’s Client Advisory Board Examines Issues Facing Recruiters

OneWire’s Client Advisory Board Examines Issues Facing Recruiters »

NEW YORK, NY, Apr 02, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — OneWire(R), delivering better talent faster, announced today findings from its recent client advisory board. Through this program, OneWire has been able to gain insight into how its clients juggle multiple systems to acquire talent and the challenges they face during the hiring process.

OneWire gathered key clients for a roundtable discussion on the strengths and shortcomings of the range of recruiting technologies used by their organizations. As prominent financial services firms ranging from medium-sized boutique firms to global investment banks, each organization needs to hire and retain top talent in a competitive industry. During the meeting, participants shared their thoughts on the sourcing tools, candidate relationship management (CRM), and applicant tracking systems (ATS) utilized by their firms, discussing what works well for them and what areas have room for improvement.

The advisory board meeting provided OneWire with key insight into what its clients are looking for in recruiting solutions and the particular challenges of integrating multiple platforms, such as their sourcing tools, CRM, and existing ATS systems. The company learned that although clients recognize the inefficiency of using multiple systems to execute their recruiting process, there remain challenges to eliminating redundant systems and reliance on proprietary databases — challenges OneWire is striving to overcome.

“Our clients are leaders in the financial services industry, vying for specialized, high-performance talent,” said Brin McCagg, co-founder, president, and COO of OneWire. “Although some of them rely on OneWire as their sole recruiting solution, others are balancing an array of systems. These firms seek innovative and integrated recruiting platforms, and delivering on these requirements remains a priority in our development.” McCagg continued, “These advisory board discussions are instrumental in helping us to develop industry-leading solutions that better connect recruiters to top candidates and ensure that organizations can easily attract, select and retain the talent they need to grow their businesses.”

SelectMinds and HireClix Partner to Help Clients Optimize Employee Referral Programs Through Social Networks

SelectMinds and HireClix Partner to Help Clients Optimize Employee Referral Programs Through Social Networks »

GLOUCESTER, Mass. & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SelectMinds, a developer of automated social recruiting solutions, and HireClix, a digital recruitment marketing agency, today announced a partnership to deliver solutions that optimize corporate employee referral programs using social networks. As part of the strategic relationship, HireClix is authorized to resell SelectMinds’ TalentVine social recruiting suite, the world’s first complete corporate social recruiting solution that allows employers to implement comprehensive social recruiting campaigns through a single interface.

“Through our relationship with HireClix, we are making it possible for companies to truly leverage the power of social networks to generate referrals and candidate leads in a systematized, enterprise-wide campaign,” said Anne Berkowitch, CEO, SelectMinds. “We both understand that the best talent isn’t always actively looking for a job, and our shared goal is to give organizations the opportunity to uncover the best match to fill their hiring needs.”

Employee referrals have consistently proven to be the most effective recruiting tool available. A recent study by the online recruiting publication ERE found that a referral candidate is 54 times more likely to be hired than a candidate coming from a job board. In addition, a Hewitt Corporation study showed that the most common source for highly-skilled candidates was employee referrals (96%).

TalentVine allows professionals to automate every component of a social recruiting campaign, from job posts on Facebook and Twitter to fully integrated talent communities and social referral programs. To power employee referral programs, TalentVine leverages social networks to accelerate the referral process, making it seamless for corporate human resource professionals to build enterprise-wide programs. The TalentVine Social Employee Referral Program module automatically alerts current and former employees to open opportunities, matches those opportunities to their social connections, serves up referral suggestions and makes it easy for them to share jobs.

“HireClix recommends that every employee referral program have two major components – a consistent flow of fresh new content and a system for making referrals via social media,” says Neil Costa, CEO of HireClix. “The TalentVine solution is scalable for mid-size and large companies, is easy for employees to use and is designed to reinforce the client’s employer brand across all touch points.”

HireClix introduced their client, Fluidigm Corporation, to the TalentVine solution this year and recently oversaw the implementation of the system across Fluidigm’s international employee base. Fluidigm is a publicly-traded biotech tools company based in South San Francisco, Calif. that is consistently seeking highly-specialized employee candidates with advanced degrees to maintain their innovative, competitive edge. As Fluidigm’s recruitment marketing agency of record, HireClix has helped the company reinvent their employee referral program. A key element of the new Fluidigm employee referral program is the implementation of the TalentVine solution. Paired with a dynamic schedule of fresh content, employee narratives, and compelling employee incentives, the TalentVine site has given the Fluidigm employee referral program new energy.

“Combined with a fresh marketing approach, the TalentVine solution has infused our employee referral program with new excitement. Our employees like it and think it’s easy to use. It has also addressed the employees’ primary concern in social job sharing – that the privacy of their social networks be protected,” said Romeo Malabanan PHR, who manages talent acquisition and recruitment programs for Fluidigm. “Since implementing TalentVine I see people clicking away – sharing jobs across multiple social media networks. I’m excited that people are using it and I expect it to improve our overall recruitment marketing mix.”

SelectMinds and HireClix will be exhibiting at the ERE Expo, March 28-30 in San Diego, Calif. The HireClix team will be available at booth #308 to share tips and advice on how to maximize company employee referral programs. Specialists from the SelectMinds team will be at booth #205 to provide demonstrations of the TalentVine solution.

The Human Age is resonating widely, evidenced by Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman, who echoed ManpowerGroup’s statement that “Talentism is the New Capitalism.” ManpowerGroup identified of human talent as the key competitive differentiator, and in a world where talent is increasingly elusive, has the expertise to match skilled individuals with businesses that need their skills.

In this way, we help organizations and individuals achieve more than they imagined.”
