matchFWD Launches First Word-Of-Mouth Platform for the Job World

matchFWD Launches First Word-Of-Mouth Platform for the Job World »

Montreal, Qc (PRWEB) March 30, 2012 The company is the first online platform to fully leverage the benefits of the “sharing economy” (http://bit.ly/shr_ec) for the online employment industry by facilitating personal referrals.

The “sharing economy” has become a global phenomenon as businesses and consumers look to take advantage of the power of collaboration and the Web to discover news ways to access products and services.

“matchFWD is the first platform to really put connected networkers (connectors: http://bit.ly/H0dmQj) at the center of the recruiting or job finding process,” says Céline Charron, a veteran of the employer marketing and recruiting industry and co-founder of matchFWD.

“And it’s free to post.”

Hiring managers can specify what type of people they are looking to hire. They instantly get suggestions of people to share their openings with, based on who they know, how often they reshare and their reputation in their industry.

Job seekers can also specify what type of contracts or jobs they are looking for and get suggestions of people that can help them connect with the best hiring managers. Furthermore, they can do it in stealth mode, so only people they select will know who’s behind the profile and avoid scrutiny from their current boss.

matchFWD enables anyone to become a super connector by offering automated suggestions when contacted by friends looking for jobs or contacts looking to hire. It saves connectors from having to dig into hundreds of contacts to find the most relevant people to refer them to.

“We realized that many people will reshare jobs if we suggest great candidates they already know when they are contacted by friends looking to hire. And even more so when they are contacted by someone looking for a new job, as long as they don’t have to search through their contacts and fire up their Gmail. matchFWD shows them great candidates that can be found in their contacts and a link to refer them with one single click,” explains Philippe Gauvin

matchFWD gives people a transparent view of who’s doing a good job at connecting people by showing the number of completed matches, shares and reshare proportions on every user’s page.

“matchFWD is building a network of people helping each other connect to better jobs and better candidates by making it easy. It can help both small businesses that have zero or limited staff dedicated to recruiting and bigger corporations that can tap their employees’ network to spread the word about their openings to qualified candidates. It’s already boosting a few employees’ referral programs (ERP),” says Gauvin.

The company is coming out of private beta today.

Cornerstone OnDemand Launches Recruiting Cloud

Cornerstone OnDemand Launches Recruiting Cloud »

SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ:CSOD), a global leader in cloud-based talent management software solutions, today announced the release of the Cornerstone Recruiting Cloud, making the company the first pure cloud provider with an organically developed, end-to-end talent management solution that helps organizations manage the entire employee lifecycle, from hiring through retirement.

The Recruiting Cloud will allow organizations to:

– Manage job requisitions;
– Post jobs across both traditional job boards and social networks;
– Create internal career centers and external career sites;
– Manage and enhance employee referral programs;
– Identify existing employee connections with candidates;
– Quickly assess candidate skills and competencies;
– Collaborate with hiring managers and employees throughout the screening process;
– Search and compare internal and external candidates;
– Build ongoing talent pools; and
– Efficiently onboard new hires and accelerate time to productivity.

The Recruiting Cloud is fully integrated with Cornerstone’s existing learning and talent management software suite. It was built using Cornerstone’s pure-cloud, multi-tenant architecture, leveraging a common platform, workflow engine, and reporting and administration model. This provides clients with faster deployments, greater flexibility to adapt and change the application without cost or risk, and a seamless user experience across all Cornerstone applications.

“Most recruiting solutions in the market today were built for the way people recruited a decade ago, before the rise of social networks,” said Adam Miller, President and CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand. “Today, most organizations want to leverage the power of social recruiting, and our solution was built to be natively social.”

The Recruiting Cloud capitalizes upon Cornerstone’s global ecosystem of strategic alliances to extend the solution’s capabilities, including resume parsing, job posting and distribution, and background screening. In addition, the Recruiting Cloud leverages Facebook’s social graph and LinkedIn® recruiting services’ “Apply with LinkedIn” capabilities, as well as digital interviewing with HireVue.

“Social networks have resulted in instant access to hundreds of qualified candidates. Companies need a faster and more consistent way to screen more of these ‘interview-ready’ candidates and drive efficiency in the recruiting process,” said Mark Newman, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of HireVue. “We’re excited to work with Cornerstone to deliver a solution that helps companies find the best talent. Our digital interview platform with mobile and social capabilities is the perfect complement to the Cornerstone Recruiting Cloud.”

Whereas most existing recruiting solutions tend to be deployed to hiring managers and recruiters, Cornerstone’s cloud solution is typically deployed to all employees in the organization. As a result, Cornerstone’s Recruiting Cloud is able to leverage all employees in the recruiting process to source and collaborate in the evaluation of internal and external candidates that best fit an open position.

“Our clients had asked us to extend our solution to support their sourcing and selection efforts, and we responded with the development of our Recruiting Cloud over the last couple of years,” added Miller. “With the market disruption caused by the recent consolidation in the talent management space, we believe the timing of our Recruiting Cloud launch couldn’t be better.”

Cornerstone (booth no. 400) is showcasing the Recruiting Cloud at this week’s ERE Expo 2012 Spring event, held Mar. 29-30 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, Calif.

Evolv Launches Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Service with Built-in Candidate Quality Control

Evolv Launches Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Service with Built-in Candidate Quality Control »

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ERE EXPO – Evolv, the leading provider of data-driven workforce selection, today announced availability of its Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) service for high volume hourly hiring. Evolv’s new service delivers full recruitment outsourcing, from sourcing through skills testing and phone or in-person candidate screening. The service is already delivering “ready to hire” candidates pre-screened through Evolv’s hiring intelligence platform to several large employers.

Evolv Solves Classic Problem of Traditional RPO

Evolv’s RPO service is unique in that employers see how candidates were scored by Evolv’s screening process. Evolv’s analytics reporting shows clients how the scores relate directly to better performance against key metrics. Unlike traditional RPO vendors that focus solely on filling empty seats – only to disappoint on employee productivity, Evolv clients know that they’re getting the best suited candidates for the position. With Evolv, quality-of-hire becomes a quantitative metric, just like cost-per-fill and time-to-fill.

Like many maturing RPO services, Evolv’s solution is flexible to meet the requirements of unique in-house recruiting processes. For some clients, the solution includes recruiters’ on-site and full recruiting management, while other clients rely on Evolv simply for generating quality candidate flow. All clients benefit from Evolv’s selection science, powered by a team of I/O psychologists and economists, which delivers substantially more productive candidates when compared with traditional screening methods.

“A key area of differentiation for Evolv’s RPO is that, with our quality score, clients can hold us accountable for getting them the best possible agents,” said Max Simkoff, co-founder and CEO of Evolv. “With Evolv’s analytics, we show them that the scoring is accurate, and that they’re really getting better outcomes. What Evolv delivers is measurably better candidates.”

The market for cloud-based talent management software is skyrocketing, evidenced by recent acquisitions of SuccessFactors, Rypple and Taleo. According to Bersin & Associates, global talent management software revenue has grown 15% annually in recent years, reaching nearly $3 billion in 2011. According to NelsonHall’s HRO forecast, RPO will have the highest growth of all HR services through the forecast period of 2015.

Allied Healthcare Staffing Agency Gets Gold Seal of Approval

Allied Healthcare Staffing Agency Gets Gold Seal of Approval »

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) March 29, 2012 Leading allied healthcare staffing agency, Travel Force Staffing, has been awarded The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for 2012. As an affiliate of American Traveler Staffing Professionals, Travel Force Staffing has been continuously certified by The Joint Commission since 2005 and has once again earned the valued Gold Seal of Approval. Addressing the nation’s allied healthcare shortage by providing healthcare employers with travel and permanent therapy job candidates, Travel Force focuses on recruiting skilled candidates to fulfill Physical therapy jobs and occupational therapy jobs.

“Receiving certification time and time again is a testament to our commitment to healthcare employers and patients alike,” said Mary Kay Hull, Vice President of Recruitment of Travel Force Staffing. “Our attention to detail from application to placement ensures that we staff facilities nationwide with top quality candidates who practice with a high level of integrity and professionalism. We’ve been certified since 2005 and continue to uphold the standards of this esteemed organization.”

With physical therapist shortages expected to increase nationwide through 2030, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation reports the southern and western U.S. will be hit hardest – areas of the country known for record numbers of retiring Baby Boomers. The continued shortage of qualified local allied healthcare professionals will make it increasingly difficult for healthcare employers of all types in these areas to source, onboard and retain qualified therapy jobs candidates in a timely manner. A problem Hull said her firm is strategically positioned to solve.

“Our national footprint and leading-edge technologies enable us to fill vacancies fast, even for hard-to-find travel and permanent therapy jobs candidates in remote parts of the country,” Hull said. “In line with The Joint Commission, our goal at Travel Force is to continuously improve health care processes. To that end, we make it easy for clients to recruit therapists quickly and to enable a high level of patient care. ”

Travel Force Staffing is one of 19,000 health care organizations in the U.S. certified by The Joint Commission. To achieve certification, healthcare staffing agencies undergo an in-depth review of qualifications and competency of staff, placement procedures and staff performance benchmarks. Seven years in a row, Travel Force excelled in areas of customer service and support, communications and accountability.

“As The Joint Commission fosters excellence in healthcare, Travel Force nurtures a proactive staffing environment. We hold candidates to high standards and are committed to meeting the specific needs of healthcare employers of all types,” Hull said.

Inspired Hospitality Recruiting delivers services to clients through Jacque’s exclusive search process, backed by rigorous vetting and a written placement guarantee.

Under Jacques’ direction, Inspired Hospitality Recruiting uses cutting-edge technology to simplify assessments and make it easy for candidates to view positions and apply for them online.
