This award-winning secure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution is designed for global organizations seeking to cost effectively and efficiently source and track employment candidates throughout the recruiting process.

    new capability allows organizations to conduct both hourly and professional
    hiring on a single, unified platform.
