Recruiters can spend countless hours scouring the Internet to find potential candidates for open positions. nowHIRE.com announced TalentSweep, a resume sourcing technology that enables recruiters to quickly locate quality candidates and reduce time-to-hire.

TalentSweep is available as a stand-alone product or can be integrated into the nowHIRE applicant tracking system. TalentSweep automates the recruiting process through a Web-based interface that allows recruiters to input a job description, select the search criteria and schedule searches for a pre-determined time. The technology scours the Internet, including social networking sites, free job boards and paid job boards subscriptions, as well as the existing candidates in a company’s database.

Resumes are scored and ranked against the job description provided using a sophisticated two-tier matching technology for high-quality resume-matching. Unlike other sourcing tools, TalentSweep doesn’t just verify the match between skills and experiences in the resume and those specified in the job description. The technology also uses powerful statistical models to predict how likely a job is to fit the candidate’s career path. The results are then directly imported into the nowHIRE applicant tracking system, where recruiters can review the results and take the necessary actions. TalentSweep also includes a reporting capability that compares the Web sites searched to the results received and provides an overview of the best Internet sources for a given position.

“Our goal is always to simplify the hiring process, while driving business goals and decreasing turnover for our clients,” said Joseph N. Impastato, II, nowHIRE’s president and chief executive officer. “TalentSweep is another piece to the talent management process that will save time and money and increase efficiency in the hiring process.”

nowHIRE Demonstrates Commitment to Customer’s Privacy with Safe Harbor Certification…from nowHIRE

May 15, 2009

 

HRchitect includes nowHIRE in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider.

nowHIRE announced the company’s Safe Harbor certification by the United States Department of Commerce. The Safe Harbor certification is especially important for nowHIRE’s international clients, as it ensures that information transferred between the European Union states and the United States is protected.

The U.S Department of Commerce and the EU have agreed on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions to enable U.S. companies to satisfy the requirement under EU law that adequate protection be given to personal information transferred from the EU to the United States.

We are committed to our customer’s privacy and will take whatever precautions necessary to protect their data, said Joseph N. Impastato, II, nowHIRE’s president. Our Safe Harbor certification underscores our continued commitment and offers our customer peace of mind about their data safety when doing business with us.

The European Commission’s Directive on Data Protection went into effect in October of 1998. The Commission is the EUs executive branch and the Directive prohibits the transfer of personal data to non-EU states that do not meet the European adequacy standard for privacy protection. While the U.S and the EU share the goal of enhancing privacy protection for their citizens, the U.S. takes a different approach to privacy from that taken by the EU.

In order to bridge these different privacy approaches and provide a streamlined means for U.S. organizations to comply with the Directive, the U.S. Department of Commerce in consultation with the European Commission developed a “safe harbor” framework. The safe harbor, approved by the EU in 2000, is an important way for U.S. companies to avoid experiencing interruptions in their business dealings with the EU or facing prosecution by European authorities under European privacy laws. Certifying to the safe harbor, as nowHIRE has done, assures that EU organizations know that nowHIRE provides privacy protection.
