San Francisco, CA – April 25, 2002 –
Recruitsoft, Inc., the leading provider of staffing management solutions for global organizations, disclosed today its plans for Recruitsoft Version 5.1, which will be released May 31. More than 100 users throughout the world joined Recruitsoft in Miami, FL, for the conference from April 24-26. Additionally, Peter Cappelli, professor of management at the Wharton Business School, and Michael Moe, partner, CFA, at ThinkEquity Partners, will be sharing important trends, views and statistics about the Human Capital and Staffing Management industries.
Dow Chemical Project Manager Stefan Vos, who travelled from Holland to attend the conference stated, “As a global customer of Recruitsoft, I am delighted to have the opportunity to come together with other users and members of the Recruitsoft team to discuss value added enhancements as well as the current solutions that we’ve employed for effective staffing management.” He added, “Recruitsoft has successfully deployed our solutions globally in over 35 countries and we feel that the features and functionality available in 5.1 will continue to meet our company’s global business objectives.”
This release follows the company’s recent introduction of the Recruitsoft 5 Enterprise Staffing Solution, which has already gained significant adoption by global organizations due to its leap forward in technology supporting global staffing processes. With the introduction of 5.1, global enterprise will have enhanced functionality relating to global capabilities, particularly with regard to localization. Additionally, Recruitsoft will introduce its staffing agency portal, which will provide clients with an integrated online staffing solution capable of dealing directly with staffing agencies and avoiding the maintenance of separate expensive recruitment channels. The portal will be linked to the corporate Web site and is designed to be the sole mechanism through which staffing agencies can submit resumes and candidates.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Louis Tetu stated, “We welcome everyone to the annual users conference and feel that this event will help ensure that deep, interconnected relationships among our existing customers, partners and employees are enriched.”
He added, “Using supply-chain concepts, Version 5.1 as well as our product roadmap have been designed to meet the existing needs of our global customers with respect to the evolving human capital marketplace. As a team, we will continue to define and implement the technology and best practices to help our clients differentiate themselves through their most valued asset: Human capital.”
Recruitsoft solutions manage the entire staffing supply-chain from requisition management, sourcing, resume scanning, searching and pre-screening to retention, enabling true e-headhunting and effective staffing management. Recruitsoft solutions bridge demand and supply with the ACE Platform, which uses job-specific skills to match people with jobs. Recruitsoft’s configurable workflow also allows Recruitsoft clients to support and manage unique business intricacies in each country, region and department. Workflow automation vs. basic candidate tracking decreases cycle-time and therefore reduces obsolescence of the candidate pool – increasing the return on resources deployed for sourcing as well as the quality of the talent deployed throughout the organization. This leads not only to significant cost savings and faster employee time-to-contribution, but also to enterprise-wide productivity improvements and greater retention.
