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.”

Company unveils aggressive growth strategy; significant presence in key geographies
LIVONIA, Mich. and SYDNEY (May 15, 2013) – WorkForce Software, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for organizations with complex labor policies and stringent compliance demands, today unveiled several initiatives comprising its global expansion. The company announces the acquisition of Sydney-based RosterLive, a provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based workforce management solutions to the Australian market; the establishment of new offices in the United Kingdom; the formation of a key strategic alliance in China; and new data centers in the Netherlands and Sydney, Australia.
Today’s announcement follows recent disclosure of WorkForce Software’s record-setting Q1 performance – including a 139% year-over-year (YOY) increase in bookings and 122% YOY increase in SaaS revenues – and represents the next stage of the company’s 2013 growth strategy.
“Since our inception in 1999, we’ve been squarely focused on developing and delivering workforce management solutions that transcend the simplistic ‘punch-in, punch-out’ approach that is all too common in our industry,” stated Kevin Choksi, co-founder and CEO of WorkForce Software. “Our dedication to addressing the complex, constantly changing labor management needs of our clients – solely through configuration, not customization – is ideally suited to today’s business demands and has played a key factor in our ongoing success. Today I’m proud to announce that we’re taking our already impressive global presence to the next level in a large and meaningful way.”
WorkForce Software in Australia
To augment WorkForce Software’s growth in the Australia and New Zealand region, WorkForce Software today announced the acquisition of RosterLive, a SaaS-based provider of workforce management solutions to the Australian market. Focused on Small and Medium Business (SMB) organizations, the company has over 200 clients. Through a SaaS architecture and a highly-configurable approach to delivering tailored solutions without the need for custom code, RosterLive’s business model closely parallels that of WorkForce Software.
The RosterLive suite also delivers a similar array of solutions to their client base, including:
- Automated rostering (a.k.a. scheduling)
- Time & attendance
- Award interpretation (a.k.a. pay rules)
- Leave management
- Workforce communication
- Employee Self Service (ESS)
- Payroll Integration
“WorkForce Software has developed a strong reputation for not only delivering world-class workforce management solutions, but also for quickly delivering tangible results for their clients,” stated Rhys Williams, co-founder of RosterLive. “At RosterLive, we have a long-standing track record of delivering the very same value to our clients and we’re thrilled to become part of the WorkForce Software family.”
Leslie Tarnacki, WorkForce Software’s vice president of Human Resources, will relocate to Sydney and serve as General Manager of the newly-acquired business, as well as continue her global HR responsibilities. During Tarnacki’s tenure, WorkForce Software has received numerous corporate culture and ‘top places to work’ awards. The move will help to ensure the successful integration of the RosterLive corporate culture with that of WorkForce Software.
RosterLive will remain as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WorkForce Software and continue independent business operation as “RosterLive, a WorkForce Software Company.”
European Expansion
During the first quarter of 2013, WorkForce Software solidified its presence in the United Kingdom by establishing offices in London with multiple personnel. Home to the company’s sales, support, and business functions in England, the Berkshire location has already developed significant opportunities through direct and partner-driven channels, revealing pent-up demand for the ability to address the U.K.’s complex workforce management needs.
“WorkForce Software’s EmpCenter suite provides a mature and highly-capable solution, which is particularly well suited to larger organizations with more complex operations, including those with multi-site, multinational components,” stated Jason Chester, CEO and Director of Research at U.K.-based research firm, Infogencer.
To better support our clients throughout Europe, WorkForce Software has also established a SaaS data center in the Netherlands, with a second data center soon to follow in Germany. Through these locations, WorkForce Software will deliver additional high-quality, high-availability services with data privacy that meets stringent global standards.
Newly-Launched Partnership in China
Continuing with the company’s aggressive expansion throughout the Asia and Pacific region, today WorkForce Software also announces the establishment of a reseller and implementation agreement with the China Talent Group, a leading outsourcing services provider in human resource and business processes. Established in 2003, CTG has branches and offices in hundreds of cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xi’an, Nanjing and Lhasa. With over 300 offices, the China Talent Group has the scope and scale to deliver WorkForce Software’s solutions throughout the country alongside its payroll offerings.

CHELMSFORD, Mass., May 8, 2013 - Kronos Incorporated, the global leader in delivering workforce management solutions in the cloud, today announced financial results, company advancements, and customer successes for the second quarter of Fiscal 2013. Kronos revenue for the quarter increased 13 percent to $234.4 million. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 21 percent to $75.3 million.1
“We delivered outstanding growth in our second quarter – including a 119-percent increase in workforce management cloud revenue,” said Aron Ain, Kronos chief executive officer. “Kronos continues to grow significantly faster than the global workforce management market, with double-digit growth in revenue and a rapid pace of new customer adoption. Kronos is leading the global workforce management market through an incredibly invigorating transition whereby organizations are enthusiastically adopting the cloud, mobile, and big data labor analytics to more effectively manage in the moment. We are thrilled to be leading this exciting transformation.”
Second-Quarter News Facts
- Kronos Cloud a major growth engine - The Kronos Cloud is growing at a breathtaking rate. More than 8,000 organizations now leverage the Kronos Cloud, the industry’s most robust and comprehensive workforce management cloud platform. Kronos continues to experience a tremendous customer response to its new Workforce Ready™ suite in the Kronos Cloud for small and midsize businesses (SMBs), as well as its Workforce Central® suite in the Kronos Cloud for medium and large enterprise organizations.
- Exceptional momentum in SMB sector - Kronos experienced another exceptional quarter in the SMB sector, driven by an accelerated pace of adoption for its Workforce Ready suite in the cloud. During the quarter, Kronos delivered an enhanced version of its fast-selling Workforce Ready cloud solution. Also driving growth in the SMB sector is significant customer and channel growth expansion through the Kronos SMB partner network, with the addition of thousands of new organizations to its workforce management platform.
- Strong international performance - International product bookings experienced double-digit growth year on year, with excellent momentum in Australia as both new customers signed on and existing customers expanded their use of Kronos. Europe performed very well, including a major contract with an existing multinational retail customer that is centralizing its 100,000+ employees around the world on a Kronos solution. India had its strongest quarter to date, with significant growth in new customers and two major global car manufacturers going live with their implementations. All international regions are seeing strong demand for the Kronos Cloud.
- Affordable Care Act compliance driving demand - As the January 1, 2014 deadline for Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance draws closer, organizations in every corner of the U.S. are turning to Kronos for help. Kronos is actively educating organizations about how automating with Kronos can directly impact their ACA compliance efforts by: having the data necessary to determine benefit eligibility; gaining the ability to create, monitor, and analyze employee schedules and time records, and initiate benefits enrollment; and leveraging comprehensive auditing and reporting features.
- Enabling omni-channel strategies in retail - As brick and mortar and online retail channels merge, store operations executives are struggling with how to gain visibility into incoming online demand, and how to align this demand with in-store labor. Kronos and Manhattan Associates formed a relationship to address this concern and help retailers profitably integrate their stores into their digital selling strategy to increase customer satisfaction and drive sales by freeing up trapped inventory in the store, while managing labor costs.
- Customer successes around the globe - In the second quarter of Fiscal 2013, Kronos signed agreements with organizations around the world such as: Bupa (Australia), the largest private-aged care provider with 60 homes caring for more than 5,000 residents; Callaway Golf Company, manufacturer and seller of golf clubs, golf balls, and golf accessories under the Callaway Golf and Odyssey brands worldwide; Catholic Health, a non-profit, faith-based healthcare system serving patients throughout Western New York; Co-operative Food, with 80,000 colleagues and 2,300 retail outlets in the UK; Forever 21, Inc., a specialty retailer of women’s, men’s, and girl’s clothing and accessories; IHC, New Zealand’s largest provider of services to people with intellectual disabilities and their families; Ladbrokes Ltd (UK), a world leader in online betting and gaming; New York Methodist Hospital (NYM), a voluntary, acute-care teaching facility; South Jersey Healthcare, a nonprofit, integrated healthcare system serving the medical and healthcare needs of southern New Jersey residents; The Baldwin County Board of Education, which oversees all public schools in Baldwin County, Alabama; The Methodist Hospital System, a nonprofit healthcare system comprised of five hospitals in the greater Houston area; Village Roadshow Theme Parks (VRTP), a division of Village Roadshow Limited, owner and operator of Australia’s most popular theme parks and Wet ‘n’ Wild branded water parks in the U.S.; and West Palm Beach, a city in and the county seat of Palm Beach County, Florida.

Infor Applications to Support HR Shared Services for Employees Across 10 Campuses & Five Medical Centers
NEW YORK - Apr 23, 2013
Infor, a leading provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced that the University of California has selected Infor Enwisen HR Service Delivery to help complete its HR transformation project, UCPath, to deploy a single payroll and human resources system across all ten campuses and five medical centers. The UCPath Center is the University’s new HR shared services center that will employ Infor’s cloud-enabled, HR-specific Portal/Knowledgebase and Case Management applications to standardize business processes for nearly 190,000 employees and move the institution toward a true human resource shared services model. Further, the solution will offer a more user-specific experience to employees and managers, drastically reducing redundancies and inefficiencies across the network while increasing employee engagement levels.
Infor Human Capital Management solutions facilitate faster day-to-day processes so staff can spend less time navigating systematical issues and more time focusing on the value of service. The Infor solution in particular was selected to help UC provide important options for employees seeking answers to critical HR, payroll and benefits questions. With Infor HR Portal/Knowledgebase, UC employees will have the ability to quickly find answers to most of their own questions via a personalized, searchable self-service experience without ever placing a call to HR. Through Infor Case Management, employee inquiries that require HR assistance can be tracked and resolved more quickly, with fewer matters requiring escalation to subject matter experts.
News Points
- The University of California selected Infor due to the human resource-centric nature of its HCM solutions, and integration with other third-party applications and overall successful reputation with higher education installations. The Infor solution helps the UCPath Center with its primary objective of providing the highest degree of service and the lowest possible cost.
- The University of California will also benefit from a faster, cloud-based implementation. The Infor application can be accessed through a web portal, which contains useful tools, information and reports, and unifies multiple functions into a single application, providing extensive flexibility and customization potential. When an employee signs in, information specific to his/her campus, job level, union or benefits plan will be displayed.
- Infor Case Management will help UC human resource service representatives manage inquiries when employees cannot find the answers to questions on their own. Complex employee and manager HR inquiries are also initiated through the online AskHR feature and then they are escalated to HR subject matter experts within the HR Shared Services Center, when necessary.
- Infor Portal/Knowledgebase is a personalized, searchable online source for information and decision support, providing UC with a multi-tier approach to HR service delivery.
- The Infor HR Shared Services Solution for UCPath is designed to be easily integrated with existing third-party products to provide a more complete snapshot of performance, enabling consolidated data access for employees and a more complete view of the network for faster business decisions.
University of California Quote
“Infor delivered a complete solution of technology, resources and experience in the HR and payroll arena that other vendors lacked,” said Randy Anderson, UCPath Center Technical Lead. “Most case management and knowledge management tools available grew up in the IT or retail sales space. It was refreshing to find a product and service specifically designed to meet our HR needs.”
Infor Quote
“Infor understands that cost effectively scaling human resources capability while simultaneously improving services to University of California employees needs specialized technology that engages employees and facilitates resolution in real-time,” said Tarik Taman, general manager, Human Capital Management, Infor. “We are uniquely able to help unify our customers’ complex and heterogeneous HCM systems and processes by putting data at both the fingertips of the employees and managers – providing enhanced HR services with fewer dedicated resources and lower costs.”
About The University of California
Founded in 1868, the University of California opened in 1869 with 10 faculty members and 38 students. Today, UC has 10 campuses, five medical centers, 18 health professional schools and programs, six business schools and five law schools, plus professional and enrichment courses and agricultural and natural resources programs that extend learning throughout California. UC also manages Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and is a partner in limited liability corporations that manage Livermore and Los Alamos national laboratories. The UC system includes nearly 240,000 students, more than 190,000 employees, 50,000 retirees and roughly 1.7 million living alumni.
About Infor

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, California — May 10, 2013 — SuccessFactors, an SAP AG(NYSE: SAP) company and the global leader in business execution (BizX) software, today announced the hiring of Thomas Otter as vice president of Product Management. A Gartner analyst and recognized HR expert with 21 years of experience in the IT industry, Otter will help SuccessFactors evolve a new generation of Human Capital Management (HCM) software and best practices.

An expert in the IT industry, Otter has spent the past five years at Gartner, most recently as research vice president covering HCM trends and technologies. Otter was Gartner’s lead analyst on SAP from 2009 to 2011.
“This maybe the most exciting time in enterprise software in the last 20 years – companies are craving solutions that are in the cloud, are mobile, social and engaging. At SuccessFactors, we have passion for building beautiful, innovative HR solutions that allow companies to run their businesses better. Core HR is key to this vision and the area where we have aggressively invested extraordinary resources and the best minds,” said Dmitri Krakovsky, senior vice president of Products, SuccessFactors. “Over the last three years we have been meticulously assembling the best team to help us imagine and execute—and Thomas is a huge piece of this blueprint.

-Talent Platform 13.1 enhancements reflect desire of employers to not only recruit for open positions, but promote their employment brand and build relationships with potential candidates-
MATAWAN, N.J. (May 6, 2013) – iCIMS, Inc., a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) talent acquisition software solutions for growing businesses, is announcing the launch of the latest version of its core product, Talent Platform 13.1. This release is a standout; it features progressive new functionality that reflects the growing desire of companies to utilize technology to not only help in advertising jobs but to build relationships with potential candidates and increase brand awareness.
“Talent acquisition has become so much more than just tracking applicants,” said iCIMS Chief Marketing Officer, Susan Vitale. “It’s about building relationships, creating brand awareness, and communicating your company culture and values. This convergence of marketing and recruitment is exciting at an industry level and helps build interest on the candidate side, which ultimately assists employers in recruiting and onboarding great talent. That’s what our suite of solutions strives to do.”
Enhancements to iCIMS Talent Platform include optimized career portal branding, new bidirectional email, comprehensive metrics dashboards, and an upgraded Onboard solution.
“The talent acquisition lifecycle really starts on a company’s career portal, where both active and passive candidates search for job openings and research companies,” said Vitale. “This is where a company needs to put its best foot forward. Our 13.1 release allows clients to create a public-facing career portal that has a clean, modern look configured with brand assets that give not only candidates, but the public at large, a look into a company’s culture and brand.”
One of the most highly-anticipated new features of the Talent Platform is Bidirectional Email. This new feature, which came directly through customer feedback, allows recruiters, hiring managers, and HR professionals to send email communications from the platform to candidates, while automatically recording the two-way conversation in the platform for historical data tracking. The communications interface has also been modernized across notes, appointments, and email composition. As a foray into Big Data, iCIMS is also now offering a new Metrics Dashboard, which allows users to view and drill down into insightful data across products, including key stats around career portal activity, candidate sources, and high level workflow summaries.
The company’s 13.1 release will also coincide with the much anticipated release of its upgradedOnboard solution. Onboard allows HR professionals to automate the transition from candidate to productive new hire, which is key to new hire retention. According to a 2011 Aberdeen Group report on employee productivity, the right onboarding process has been found to increase new hire retention by 50% and double the level of new hire engagement. iCIMS’ configurable Onboard solution provides options for companies to house dynamic content, like tailored welcome messages, pictures, and onboarding videos. This greatly enhances the transition experience, giving new hires the ability to engage and learn about the company while completing important online forms before their first day.
“Along with enhancing our core Talent Platform, we have also improved our integrations with background check solution providers,” commented iCIMS Chief Technical Officer Paul Melici. “It is so important companies ensure they are in line with state and federal mandates when bringing on a new hire. Our new standard integration package in 13.1 automates the process so background checks are easy, repeatable, and scalable.”
The iCIMS Talent Platform can be integrated with over 125 different service providers, likeSterling, Orange Tree, First Advantage, Aurico, TalentWise, and Accurate, to facilitate a company’s recruitment initiatives. All of these enhancements are expected to strengthen iCIMS’ already stellar customer service, which recently garnered two coveted industry awards including the Bronze Stevie® Award for “Customer Service Department of the Year” in the Computer Software category and a top three ranking in HRO Today Magazine’s “Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings” in the Talent Management Software category.
