The Informatica Innovation Awards honor organizations that have achieved exemplary return on data through their use of the Informatica platform and demonstrated leadership in using Informatica solutions to drive business success. Results include new revenues at lower cost, forging stronger and more profitable customer relationships, ensuring competitive differentiation for the business, and more.

CodeVue was selected by conference attendees for its transformative approach to helping employers recruit, screen and validate the skills of technical talent.

HireVue’s first-of-its-kind technical recruiting solution enables tech talent to conveniently showcase their coding skills through a series of challenge questions during the already candidate-friendly digital interviewing process that HireVue has become known for. Recruiters and hiring managers then review the results of these responses (or challenges) and, in combination with their video responses and input from other stakeholders, are able to make better informed, data-driven hiring decisions regardless of their technical background.
During the Recruiting Innovation Summit’s “Unveilings – Innovative New Recruiting Products” sessions, some of the industry’s most forward-thinking recruiting professionals had the opportunity to experience recruiting technologies with the potential to fundamentally change the recruiting world. CodeVue was named by attendees as the Most Innovative Product, elected the winner among revolutionary technologies from the market’s leading solution providers.
“HireVue continues to develop and deliver the technologies that support positive employment brand, improve the interview process and help employers engage with the right talent faster, despite persistent talent shortages. With the launch of CodeVue, we’ve taken digital interviews to a new level, empowering recruiters – whether technical or not – to screen and validate candidates’ skills and connect with the individuals that will allow them to remain innovative and competitive,” said Mark Newman, founder and CEO of HireVue. “We are honored to be recognized as an innovator by ERE, the Recruiting Innovation Summit, and some of the industry’s most cutting edge recruiting professionals for the impact that our solutions have on the talent acquisition process and our clients’ overall business success.”

Peoplefluent Unveils TalentUnity, a New Workforce Acquisition Solution Giving Companies Unparalleled Access to Talent Pools to Support Strategic Hiring Decisions
Peoplefluent TalentUnity Combines Recruiting and Contingent Sourcing Workflows to Enable Holistic Talent Acquisition
WALTHAM, Mass. – May 30, 2013 – Peoplefluent®, a leading social human capital management technology company, today announced Peoplefluent TalentUnity® , an enhanced version of its recruiting and contingent workforce management solutions. The unified solution combines common recruitment and contingent sourcing workflows into a single interface, giving business managers, HR professionals, and internal and external recruiters unparalleled access to a total workforce talent pool to support strategic, cost-effective decisions.
Companies across the globe are under pressure to compete for the best talent to fill existing and future skill gaps. To do so, companies must have a holistic view of all active workforce talent pools available in order to fill positions that require specific, hard-to-find skill sets. Companies that have seamless access to prequalified prospects for temporary, part-time and full-time roles can make faster, smarter hiring decisions and gain a significant advantage in the battle for talent, which has significantly heightened over the past year. Peoplefluent TalentUnity empowers business managers, HR professionals and recruiters to identify, attract and onboard the best candidates, whether they join the team as hourly, salaried or contract.
Peoplefluent TalentUnity also includes common business intelligence and analytics, combining data from recruiting and contingent workforce management systems. This creates a single source for all reporting needs delivering total workforce visibility for HR, Procurement and Executive leadership, and providing insight to make key strategic decisions.
Peoplefluent TalentUnity changes the way companies acquire talent. It is the only solution to enable hiring decision managers to look across recruiting and contingent workforce solutions, which is particularly important in the following scenarios:
- Considering both contractor and full-time hire talent options: As workforce demands shift and more prospective employees prefer flexible employment, leveraging talent with specific skill sets on a contract basis could be strategic to a business’s bottom line as well as employee satisfaction. Peoplefluent TalentUnity enables companies to leverage vendor networks or talent pools to identify the best source of hire for a specific opening.
- Transitioning a contractor to full-time employee: At the conclusion of a contractor engagement, companies may have a business need to hire the contractor full time. Peoplefluent TalentUnity simplifies this transition by sharing contingent management information with the recruiting portal, saving HR professionals time and resources spent acquiring a new full-time hire and also streamlining the onboarding process.
- Direct Sourcing: By utilizing the capabilities provided by the recruiting solution, companies can capitalize on their corporate brand to attract talent for contingent opportunities. Peoplefluent TalentUnity lets companies leverage their career sites to post contingent opportunities which can lead to additional cost savings.
“Our clients, many companies within the Fortune 100, look to Peoplefluent for solutions that will enable their HR and procurement teams to make strategic talent acquisition decisions, better utilize human capital assets and unlock workers’ potential,” said Jim Bowley, vice president, product management, Peoplefluent. “Our investment to tightly integrate recruiting and vendor management processes and bring Peoplefluent TalentUnity to market was fueled by industry demand and customer feedback, which confirmed companies are looking for a solution that considers the total workforce, including services procurement and contingent labor management along with employee recruitment.”
Peoplefluent TalentUnity features common recruiting, applicant tracking, contingent workforce management and business intelligence with similar user interfaces to improve and simplify the user experience. As a solution that delivers a cohesive view into the recruiting pipeline, talent pools, preferred vendors and current contingent staff, Peoplefluent TalentUnity is unique among all other stand-alone talent acquisition and management products.
Peoplefluent TalentUnity is now available. For information on Peoplefluent’s talent acquisition products or any solutions within the Peoplefluent Social HCM Software Platform, please visit: http://www.peoplefluent.com/solutions/overview.

Comprehensive HR Platform Combines Hiring, Training and Scheduling for Restaurant Operations
PeopleMatter, the largest provider of comprehensive service-industry HR software, is shaking up how the foodservice industry schedules its workforce. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made employee scheduling more complex. The ACA makes accurate hourly scheduling critical to the profits of the foodservice industry with the creation of “29er” employees and the “49er” employers. PeopleMatter offers the only online scheduling solution – PeopleMatter SCHEDULE™ – with a free employee mobile app that understands the importance of accurately tracking the hours worked across multiple locations in relation to these key thresholds. The PeopleMatter Platform does more than just scheduling – it is an end-to-end talent management system that helps find, hire, train and schedule the people of the service industry.
That’s why Jerry Roberts, Owner of Gator’s Dockside locations in Florida believes “it makes sense to take advantage of all the PeopleMatter products – HIRE, LEARN and SCHEDULE – since they were designed to work together.”
Today’s reality is that many restaurants still use paper and spreadsheets to schedule their employees. But the days of posting a paper copy of the schedule in the back of the house are over with SCHEDULE. PeopleMatter’s online employee scheduling software gives managers the tools to share schedules instantly with team members and optimize coverage as the week evolves.
“SCHEDULE is the wave of the future. Accessing a schedule via a smartphone is much more manageable for both the associates and managers,” shared Robert Fleming, Owner Magnolia Pancake Haus.
SCHEDULE makes it easy for team members to know when they are working. Employees no longer need to call their manager or go in on their day off to find out when they are working because their schedule is available on their mobile device.
“Automated scheduling is what today’s employees want,” said Marc Hinson, Director of HR for The Palm Restaurant Group. “Employees want to be connected to their employers with easy access to their schedules. They want to communicate with their managers through that same system. SCHEDULE does these things and more.”
PeopleMatter is currently highlighting SCHEDULE at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, IL. Show attendees who stop by the booth are able to receive live demos, interact with the mobile app, review case studies and hear live testimonials from PeopleMatter customers who use SCHEDULE every day to create, manage and communicate schedules.
“We have created a better way to manage frontline employees in the service industry,” said Nate DaPore, PeopleMatter President and CEO. “We’ve built a modern, mobile scheduling tool in the PeopleMatter Platform that facilitates real-time communication, flexible shift management and cost-control. We did this because scheduling is such an important part of the relationship between the hourly worker and employer. With the recent legislative changes brought on by the ACA, it has become even more important to have technology to manage employee schedules.”

Peoplefluent Updates Talent Management Solutions to Enable Strategic Workforce Development Planning and More Effectively Engage Employees.
Enhanced Integration between Talent Management and Learning Solutions Strengthens Talent Development and Training Programs; New Workforce Communications Features Help Inform Workforce Decisions
WALTHAM, Mass. – May 28, 2013– Peoplefluent®, a leading social human capital management technology company, today announced enhancements to Peoplefluent Talent Management, core solutions within its Social HCM Software Platform. Among new features, Peoplefluent Talent Management now more tightly integrates with Peoplefluent Learning Management, enabling human resource (HR) professionals to make better informed talent development and training program decisions. The company also enhanced its Workforce Communications solution with new user experience features to better deliver rich content to managers and employees about benefits, policies and life events
Among workforce management challenges, HR professionals and executives across industries struggle to develop leaders and then retain their essential skills via engagement and career opportunities. As such, the HR industry has seen a resurgence in learning programs (particularly in the form of on-time learning opportunities) as companies opt to train existing talent on emerging skills to foster a highly productive workforce while contributing to sustainable talent development. By integrating talent management functions – performance management, career planning, leadership talent reviews and succession planning – with learning management solutions, Peoplefluent gives HR professionals the tools to:
• Gain deeper insight into the skill gaps that could exist within an organization;
• Focus learning investments on the roles and in-demand skills to build bench strength in anticipation of demand;
• Identify the employees best suited to fill skill gaps and tie employee development with skill development, and;
• Develop customized learning programs to propel employees and the organization to succeed.
In addition to alignment of the user experience and interface, Peoplefluent’s Learning and Talent Management solutions now feature a synchronized Talent Management Development Plan, delivering single-click access for HR professionals to add, register and launch content, view competency gaps and review messages from either solution. The Talent Management Dashboard also includes learning-related tasks along with existing Compensation, Performance, Recruiting and career development tasks.
Tighter integration between Peoplefluent Talent Management and Peoplefluent Learning follows news from Peoplefluent noting Bedford Funding’s acquisition of KZO Innovations, an on-demand video technology provider. HR managers can expect further enhancements to Peoplefluent communications, collaboration and learning offerings with premier collaborative video technology.
“Providing employees ready access to training options as part of the career planning process is an effective tool HR professionals can use to simultaneously engage employees and diminish skill gaps,” said Jim Bowley, vice president, product management, Peoplefluent. “Tools like video collaboration enable HR to communicate the benefits of employment at their organization while driving employee and manager knowledge of the latest tools available to help guide their professional growth and success.”
Effective communication and employee engagement is also critical to employee satisfaction and retention. Peoplefluent Workforce Communications now features enhancements to presentation, functionality and navigation to more effectively communicate the full value of employment and help employees and managers make informed decisions. New functionality includes:
• Total Rewards Statement module: Provides employees with a more dynamic look at total rewards delivered by the employers with navigational enhancements and graphic displays to encourage employees to more carefully review and fully understand benefits.
• Integrations with Google Analytics: Shows analytics based on employers’ and managers’ interests, including the pages they visit and search queries they use most frequently.
• Decision Tree capability: Provides functionality to walk employees and managers through a reactive decision process for more complex HR decisions.
• New content modules: New content modules’ added on dependent eligibility and social media policies provide additional HR information to employees to streamline HR processes.
• Legislative Updates: As always, the release includes legislative content updates for the existing plan and policy content library.
The latest versions of Peoplefluent Talent Management, Peoplefluent Learning and Peoplefluent Workforce Communications are now available. For more information, please visit: http://www.peoplefluent.com/solutions/overview.

Skillsoft Marks 10th Anniversary of its Groundbreaking Learning Growth Model
If you are looking for a new Human Capital Management (HCM) System, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 16 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HCM vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation. Simply put, do not invest in any kind of HR technology without consulting with the experts first. HRchitect is always available to help!
NASHUA, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Marking the 10-year anniversary of its Learning Growth Model®, Skillsoft introduced an updated whitepaper that illustrates the transformation of training into learning and includes the most recent innovations in the learning industry. Initially developed in 2003 to help organizations chart a realistic direction on their path to learning optimization, the five-stage model aligns learning with strategic business goals, leading to increased cost savings, productivity, performance, employee retention and competitive advantage. A new infographic was also developed that outlines the latest version of the Learning Growth Model and is available at: http://on.fb.me/14HOiic. Skillsoft is a pioneer in the field of technology-delivered learning with a long history of innovation and delivering solutions for its customers worldwide, ranging from global enterprises, government, and education to mid-sized and small businesses.
The Learning Growth Model is detailed in Skillsoft’s whitepaper, The Skillsoft Learning Growth Model: A Blueprint for Integrating Learning into the Life of the Enterprise in Five Manageable Stages. The whitepaper presents a clear business value for linking learning to organizational business goals to increase the value and impact of the learning program. Organizations can learn how to transform learning from skills-focused training to business-focused learning that aligns with strategic business goals and provides a greater business value. A key phase in this process is reaching strategic transformation, which is the minimal position for all organizations that seek to align learning to business goals and are focused on building the optimum transfer of learning into the workplace.
“Developing talent is an organizational imperative as the demand for innovative, leading edge talent is intensifying with no sign of slowing down. Industry experts estimate that 55-80 percent of what people learn is lost or not applied to the job. This puts pressure on organizations to justify the time and resources they dedicate to learning,” said John Ambrose, senior vice president, strategy, corporate development and emerging business, Skillsoft. “By closely correlating a learning program with tangible business goals, organizations can improve knowledge retention and document a return on their learning investment. Our whitepaper and infographic are excellent tools for guidance through this process, which transforms basic training into integrated learning.”
The five stages of the Skillsoft Learning Growth Model are:
Stage 1 – Supplement. In this stage, elearning is introduced to address scalability challenges and reduce costs. New elearning resources address a backlog of demand for skills-based training that could not be delivered via traditional methods due to high costs. Reduced travel costs, design and development costs, instructor time and learners’ time away from work all contribute to significant cost savings.
Stage 2 – Targeted. During stage two, targeted learning begins to support specific initiatives and job roles. This stage expands earlier results and provides elearning in new workplace areas. Elearning resources replace redundant classroom training, which further reduces learning costs. Executive support typically increases during this stage of the Learning Growth Model.
Stage 3 – Strategic. Learning is aligned to strategic business objectives and begins to connect to talent management to increase the value and impact of learning during stage three. This is the most pivotal stage in the Learning Growth Model and marks the transformation from skills-focused training to business-focused learning and is a major point of change into a new learning paradigm.
Stage 4 – Integrated. Stage four is marked by increasing talent and accelerating organizational agility. Organizations that reach this stage have successfully woven learning into the fabric of the organization. Learning is focused on accelerating business results, deepening the talent pool and creating an agile, empowering, productive and creative organization.
Stage 5 – Optimized. Organizations at the optimized stage have fully matured and are focused on deepening talent and broadening learning to the extended enterprise. Elearning is branched out to the organization’s supply chain, customers, etc. Learning has become globally ubiquitous and seamlessly integrates into the workplace.

MAD Greens — Inspired Eats, a fresh concept on salads based in Colorado, and PeopleMatter, the only comprehensive HR Platform designed for the service industry, recently released ROI results from their partnership in streaming the company’s HR processes. In July 2011, MAD Greens selected PeopleMatter’s automated tools to streamline the entire hiring process into one online Platform. In nine months, the company tracked a 50 percent reduction in manager time spend while increasing data accuracy and ensuring 100 percent compliance.
Prior to implementing PeopleMatter talent management solutions, MAD Greens used paper-based hiring. The growing company struggled to complete required paperwork in a timely fashion. With a small executive staff the greater challenge was ensuring accuracy while tracking requirements, deadlines and updates. With PeopleMatter in place, the restaurant chain could use one central, online location to input, process and store information.
“At MAD Greens, we all wear a lot of hats and it is hard to find time for everything,” said Marley Hodgson, MAD Greens CEO and co-founder. “Taking care of your staff is a full-time job but we don’t always have that luxury. PeopleMatter essentially acts like another team member and that’s critical.”
One of the staffing challenges MAD Greens faced early on was assessing applicants to ensure consistency in hiring decisions. It was a time issue, managers didn’t have time to do the process efficiently. The entire hiring and onboarding process could take up to two weeks. PeopleMatter HIRE™ cut the processing time down to three days and the managers’ time spent on hiring in half. The software also allows the “MAD” company to put a little of its culture into the online onboarding process. Hodgson actually took the time to film a welcoming video for employees to be introduced to the MAD Greens mission.
“It’s a consolidated Platform, helping increase operational efficiency and providing a place our company culture can reside as much as possible on the Internet,” said Hodgson. “It’s really nice when I walk in a store and a new hire says, ‘Hey, I just watched a video of you welcoming me.’”
For MAD Greens, the number one benefit from using PeopleMatter solutions is the accuracy of the data. The “scary proposition” of company audits are in the past. Now the simplicity of the Platform ensures that the restaurant chain’s information is 80 percent more accurate and in an easy-to-access location.
“The PeopleMatter Platform is designed well and clearly thought out,” said Hodgson. “Lots of systems say they are simple, this one actually is. And simplicity is where it is at in our business.”
“Working with exceptional people who believe in your corporate mission is what makes serving our clients so satisfying,” said Nate DaPore, PeopleMatter president and CEO. “MAD Greens is really using the software the way it is meant to be used.”

WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that three companies — Advanced Health Media, Credit Union of Texas, and Karl Strauss Brewing Company — have chosen Ultimate Software’s cloud-based UltiPro solution to consolidate HR processes, deliver better and faster reporting, improve accuracy of workforce information with one master system of record for employees, and increase overall efficiencies.
Many organizations rely on multiple systems, paper forms, and disparate databases to manage, track, and plan a range of vital HR and talent management functions. Some businesses also use external services and payroll service bureaus, which can add additional levels of complexities and difficulties. Frequent business challenges include redundant effort; cumbersome and often inaccurate reporting; inconsistent or incomplete data that requires reconciliation; and confusion among stakeholders about which source of information is truly accurate. As a result, the productivity of HR declines, systems administration takes precedence over strategic initiatives, and the lack of efficiencies impacts the overall business.
Many organizations are using UltiPro’s comprehensive HCM functionality and capabilities to address these issues as well as expand the strategic contributions of their HR teams.
Advanced Health Media, LLC, is the leading global provider of technology-enabled services designed to manage compliant interactions with healthcare professionals for the highly regulated pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries. The service provider had been using multiple systems provided by a payroll service bureau, but often experienced issues with a lack of integration, inaccurate or delayed reporting, as well as extra costs. The company selected UltiPro in March 2013 so that its information related to recruitment, onboarding, payroll, benefits, performance management, succession management, and time management will be in sync, easily reportable, and immediately accessible to all.
“We need one solution to efficiently and effectively manage our HR and payroll,” said Renée De Franco, senior vice president of human resources at Advanced Health Media. “UltiPro provides the right strategic HR, payroll, and talent functionality for our business — without requiring the administration needed to transfer data back and forth among multiple systems. We’re really looking forward to the ease of use, the instant access to information, as well as the cost and time savings by not having to double-check information and fix problems when we had multiple systems for HR management.”
Credit Union of Texas, with over $1 billion in assets, is ranked as one of the top 10 credit unions in the state of Texas by asset size and serves more than 142,000 members. The nonprofit’s HR processes had been distributed across six separate systems — each with its own software, log-in, and database. Because the interfaces between these systems were limited, the same data had to be manually entered into the multiple programs and spreadsheets. The credit union selected UltiPro in March 2013 to solve its HCM challenges.
“Multiple systems create much more work than is necessary,” said John-Paul Morgante, vice president of human resources at Credit Union of Texas. “The inefficiency and lack of quality for reporting was an even higher concern. For example, with these systems, three people had to compile data just to generate companywide HR reports. With different log-ins and passwords, employees and managers also get frustrated when using a half-dozen different systems. UltiPro’s intuitive platform will provide a smoother, more enjoyable experience for our end users. By automating our processes in one single solution, UltiPro will deliver significant benefits to our teams, managers, employees, and the overall business.”
Karl Strauss Brewing Company is a San Diego-based craft brewery, ranked #44 on the list of top craft breweries in the U.S. In addition to being available at the company’s seven Brewery Restaurant locations, its beers are sold at over 3,000 restaurants, bars, and retail stores across California. According to Molly Brooks, HR director at Karl Strauss Brewing Company, the primary driver for seeking a unified HCM platform was healthcare reform. With its previous system, the HR team and managers could not address companywide reporting needs related to new and upcoming legislation. The company chose UltiPro in April 2013.
“With an expanding workforce and more locations, we needed a single, easy-to-use HCM solution to centralize employee data so we can generate accurate reporting quickly and ensure compliance,” said Brooks. “With the right technology in place, we can make a significant impact on our organization. We’re looking forward to having UltiPro as our one system of record, and business benefits will include better reporting, more operational efficiencies, and improved communication.”
“In addition to automating and streamlining processes, UltiPro’s unified HCM provides organizations with end-to-end functionality that delivers strategic data to upper-level executives and managers that can strengthen decision-making,” said Chris Phenicie, chief sales officer for UltiPro Workplace at Ultimate Software. “With our cloud-based technology, diverse organizations — across all industries and of all sizes — can see business benefits very quickly. We’re very pleased that UltiPro will support Advanced Health Media, Credit Union of Texas, and Karl Strauss Brewing Company as each organization builds an efficient, people-centric environment and, as a result, becomes better positioned to meet its unique business goals.”
