Advances the New Way of Hiring by Delivering the Social, Mobile and Collaborative Experience That Hiring Managers and Recruiters Demand
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 15, 2014) - SmartRecruiters, the company that empowers the new way of hiring, today unveiled the second generation of its cloud hiring platform to find and hire great people. The platform, where more than 70,000 organizations have created over 450,000 jobs in the last two years, is the only collaborative one-stop shop with everything hiring teams need to source and engage the right talent while delighting candidates throughout the entire process. This next generation of SmartRecruiters delivers built-in social referrals, a people and mobile-centric user interface, candidate pipeline and sourcing analytics, as well as a robust open API -- all imagined for a world where employees love to use their company's hiring solution and candidates enjoy applying for jobs. In addition, SmartRecruiters announced the general availability of its new SmartRecruiters Pro Plan which offers the customization, compliance, analytics and integration that HR and recruiting professionals have requested to better manage hiring across their business.
"Spreadsheets, applicant tracking systems and other traditional recruiting tools are failing everyone: hiring managers, VPs of HR, recruiters and ultimately candidates," said Jerome Ternynck, CEO of SmartRecruiters. "Companies are spending billions of dollars on siloed solutions that people hate or refuse to use, provide little visibility into their talent pipelines, complicate their hiring processes and give candidates a horrible experience. It's time we return recruiting and hiring to their roots as social activities by empowering businesses to combine the reach of social with the ease of mobile to close the gap between great candidates and open positions."
"While other areas of the business are rapidly adopting modern, high-performance technology, talent acquisition still lags behind," said Kyle Lagunas, Talent Acquisition Analyst at Brandon Hall Group. "The greatest value of any technology isn't simply in automating and streamlining processes, but in optimizing and innovating key functions for improved business performance. Through its candidate-friendly, unified cloud platform, SmartRecruiters is helping companies achieve both of these goals by modernizing the way companies attract, engage and hire top talent."
The new SmartRecruiters provides these key capabilities:
SmartRecruiters' Customers and Partners Applaud the Next Generation of Hiring:
"SmartRecruiters' social referrals is one of the biggest game changers for our recruiting and hiring efforts in 2014," said Oliver Horvath, HR Generalist of the GFGB (Gourmet Food and Gift Brands) Division of 1-800-FLOWERS. "Our HR team is now finding one-third of our high-quality candidates using social referrals powered by SmartRecruiters. The platform automatically identifies relevant candidates as soon as employees log in and connect their social networks, pinpointing great people that we might not have known about otherwise. We're planning to roll out the platform company-wide so all our employees can turn their networks into better recruiting and hiring engines."
"SmartRecruiters has enabled us to implement a well-defined, all-inclusive workflow for our recruiting process," said Katie Pontius, Director of HR and Recruiting at The Onion. "The straightforward system allows for seamless collaboration with hiring managers and makes managing a high volume of candidates easy and efficient."
"SmartRecruiters proved to be a homerun for our independent NAPA store owners," said Janet Thomas, HR Director at Genuine Parts Company. "It is a one-stop shop recruiting platform that allows them to post positions and collect and share candidates with their teams in a streamlined, user-friendly fashion."
"SmartRecruiters' new mobile interface is easy to use and very intuitive," said Natalie Heim, Technical Recruiter at NewsCred. "I love how it enables me to manage my recruiting activity while on the go!"
"We are very excited to be an integral part of the SmartRecruiters experience," said SimplyHired's Heath Allen, Manager of Strategic Alliances. "People are a company's greatest asset.
