Recruiter WebTop™ Version 4.0 Expands Global Capabilities for Recruitsoft Clients Worldwide
Recruiter WebTop™ Version 4.0 offers skills-based platform in multiple languages, supports EEO 2003 requirements and enables unlimited career Web page creation
Recruitsoft, Inc., the leading provider of online hiring management solutions, today announced a new version of its premier online hiring management system, Recruiter WebTop™. Recruiter WebTop™ powers the career Web pages of global corporations and provides a complete business application over the Internet, supporting every aspect of the corporate recruiting process, from requisition creation, workflow, skills-based profiling and email alerts about exceptional or ACE candidates, to automated candidate communication.
With the introduction of Recruiter WebTop™ Version 4.0, recruiters and hiring managers are able to utilize the skills-based platform to communicate with candidates and internal employees in Spanish and German, in addition to the existing English and French languages. As such, recruiters are able to choose the appropriate regional language to create requisitions and skills-based questionnaires configured within the online corporate careers page. Recruitsoft’s existing open architecture system has been designed to support an unlimited number of languages without the need of any additional programming. Furthermore, Recruitsoft’s ability to accept candidate resumes in roughly 120 different languages allows hiring managers and recruiters worldwide to identify, interview and hire qualified candidates, faster.
"Our clients require a global solution to fulfill their hiring needs worldwide and Recruitsoft has the R&D bandwidth necessary and a team that understands the challenges of multinational companies conducting business around the world," said Recruitsoft Founder and Chief Technology Officer Martin Ouellet. "Our team has worked diligently to deliver the tools necessary to meet our customers’ diverse business objectives in multiple countries."
Hewlett Packard Director of Talent Michael Nichols said, "Recruiter WebTop™ allows us to quickly identify candidates possessing the necessary expertise to fill positions within our organization. We feel that the global platform dovetails nicely with our overall strategy." He added, "Global deployment will also foster internal talent deployment, helping our employees to take advantage of career development opportunities around the world. We are implementing Recruitsoft in more than 61 countries."
Ouellet added, "Human resource professionals can now select the language applicable to various regions of the world, thereby accommodating the diverse geographic and cultural needs of both corporations and candidates. Version 4.0 and future releases will continue to serve the needs of the evolving human capital marketplace, defining and implementing best practices to help our clients differentiate themselves through their most valued asset: Human capital, worldwide."
EEO compliance and full workflow for a systematic hiring process
Recruitsoft's Version 4.0 supports the new race and ethnicity data collection format required by the US Federal agency, Office of Management and Budget's, October 1997 ruling. All companies recruiting in the US are required to adopt this new format as soon as possible, but no later than January 1st, 2003. The Recruitsoft solution supports a configurable EEO data collection workflow process for US-based companies and Federal Contractors. Not only the law but the spirit of EEO requirements are advanced by Recruiter WebTop's automated workflow, which provides a standardized process for pre-screening candidates in real time, with full reporting capabilities at all levels of the organization.
Recruitsoft’s workflow features also improve communication among recruiters, hiring managers and applicants. Further examples of workflow automation within Recruitsoft’s hiring management solution include applicant routing, requisition routing and approval, sourcing, pre-screening, including comments from all relevant parties, among others.
Unlimited career Web sites
Also with Version 4.0, Recruitsoft clients gain the ability to create and configure an unlimited number of career sections on the corporate Web site on an as-needed basis. Embedded in the application, this feature requires no additional programming, and thus, accommodates the global needs of clients by allowing them to tailor each career Web site based on the region of the available position. Hence, Recruiter WebTop™ Version 4.0 significantly enhances the corporate recruiter's ability to manage and process candidate requisitions worldwide, enhancing Recruitsoft's preeminent workflow functionality, which ensures a standard and systematic hiring process.
Recruitsoft Chief Executive Officer Louis Tetu said, "Over the past year, we have grown our R&D staff to a standard-setting size of more than 130 employees, preparing for solutions to be developed to not only meet, but anticipate the dynamic and global needs of our Global 1000 client base. Recruiter WebTop Version 4.0 satisfies the ever-changing needs of Global 1000 corporations for a quality and systematic hiring process in real time."
Tetu continued, "Our solution was built from the ground-up to be multi-lingual, and delivered via an ASP model; hence, we are pleased to introduce additional languages in Version 4.0. Based on our ASP delivery method, such upgrades are seamless for our clients, and are implemented within hours, literally."
Dow Chemical Company Global Human Resources Project Director Jon Walker said, "Recruitsoft successfully helped us deploy our hiring management solution in the United States this past year. We are recruiting in multiple countries and our workforce planning staff is excited to have additional services that will better manage our staffing needs worldwide, including the functionality of offering Recruiter WebTop™ in multiple languages."
