San Francisco, CA – January 28, 2002 –
Recruitsoft, Inc., the leading provider of staffing management solutions for Global 1000 organizations, announced today the introduction of a new paradigm in enterprise staffing optimization with the launch of Recruitsoft 5: Enterprise Staffing Solution with ACE™ Configurable Workflow. Recruitsoft 5 enables multinational corporations to configure enterprise-staffing workflow to meet global staffing needs, from such macro factors as country, region, company and division, to such micro factors as individual job type.
Unique workflow patterns provide Global 1000 corporations with an effective means to collaborate globally and optimally allocate talent enterprise-wide. ACE 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.
“The introduction of configurable workflow, designed to meet the diverse needs and business intricacies of our global customers, builds on past achievements and is another driving force behind the new paradigm shift in staffing optimization,” said Louis Tetu, Recruitsoft chief executive officer. “Our ACE Configurable Workflow and collaboration platform serve as the foundation for truly managing the global workforce.”
He added, “With the launch of Recruiter WebTop™ in 1999, Recruitsoft introduced the first paradigm shift in online recruiting with our skills based solution and ACE Staffing Methodology, which not only significantly improved the pre-screening process, but also re-engineered the entire staffing process to allow continuous improvement. By integrating our skills based solution, ACE Methodology and configurable workflow, we deliver a highly scalable solution to our Global 1000 clients.”
Recruitsoft has garnered tremendous adoption by Global 1000 companies by applying a supply-chain management approach to human capital management. 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.
