SilkRoad technology, a leading provider of talent management solutions, announced recently its Life Suite has been selected as the winner of a prestigious CODiE Award for the “Best Human Capital Management Solution” by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA).
The Life Suite was reviewed by members of SIIA and voted on as the winner in the category. The announcement came at a special CODiE Awards luncheon held May 11th in conjunction with the All About the Cloud conference in San Francisco.
More than 785 nominations were submitted and narrowed down to 188 products for the finalists. Of the 188 finalists, 34 winners were announced. Nominated products underwent an intensive review by subject matter experts, analysts, journalists, and others with deep experience in the field.
“This CODiE win for the ‘Best Human Capital Management Solution’ is a great honor for SilkRoad,” said Andrew J. “Flip” Filipowski, CEO of SilkRoad technology. “It’s important to us to stay in front of the technology curve and provide our clients with the best solutions on the market. This honor is a great validation that we are doing exactly that.”
“This is the twenty-fifth year we have recognized excellence in the software, education and information industries through the CODiE Awards program,” noted Ken Wasch, President of SIIA. “In this economic climate, companies are doing even more to innovate. SilkRoad technology has demonstrated a commitment to innovation and quality that is reflected in their selection as a finalist for the CODiE Awards. I am pleased and proud to have them listed among the winners.”
A listing of winners is now available on the CODiE Awards Website at www.siia.net/CODiEs/2010/winners.asp#software
Originally called the “Excellence in Software Awards,” the CODiEs were established in 1986 by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), which preceded the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA). The program was created so that pioneers of the then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other’s work. Since then, the CODiE Awards program has carried out the same purpose – to showcase the software and information industry’s finest products and services and to honor excellence in corporate achievement and philanthropic efforts.

Integration with World’s Leading Search Engine for Jobs Expands SilkRoad Clients’ Reach
HRchitect featured SilkRoad in our May 2008 release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider. SilkRoad participated in the Onboarding Systems panel on June 10, 2009 as part of theHRshow. SilkRoad competed in the HRchitect Beauty Pageant on Onboarding Systems in January 2009 where they were crowned the winner. Brian Platz, EVP and COO of SilkRoad also appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on March 20, 2009. If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, talk to HRchitect first. We have unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation.
SilkRoad technology, a leading provider of talent management solutions, announced today the integration of the OpenHire job delivery platform with Indeed.com. With millions of job seekers and more job searches per month than any other job site, Indeed is the leading search engine for jobs.
SilkRoad’s integration with Indeed will allow SilkRoad customers to expand their reach to potential candidates. Jobs delivered directly to Indeed from OpenHire will be included in Indeed’s organic results and its network of more than 10,000 websites.
This integration will allow SilkRoad customers to reach the single largest audience of both active and passive job seekers on the Internet. SilkRoad technology has existing agreements in place with Jobfox and Simply Hired.
Through this integration, OpenHire customers will benefit from implementing automated tracking for all jobs delivered to Indeed. By automatically populating the source when candidates apply to jobs from Indeed, more accurate ROI measurements can be made by recruiters wishing to track their online recruiting efforts. OpenHire customers can also take advantage of Indeed’s free Job Analytics reports, which contain information about how well a company’s jobs are performing on Indeed. OpenHire customers can use this report to gain insight into what keywords candidates are using to find their jobs, what job titles are being clicked on most often, and how their jobs are performing compared to other companies on Indeed.
“We are excited to introduce SilkRoad’s OpenHire customers to the benefits of having their jobs included on Indeed,” said Samuel Fitzroy, Director of Alliances at Indeed. “Having jobs included automatically from this integration will ensure that all OpenHire customers are taking advantage of Indeed’s massive audience of active and passive job seekers.”
Companies have been using OpenHire to find and track top talent since 1998. Their patented job board integration, career site portals, intelligent searching, screening tools, and candidate communication tools make it easy to streamline workflow and lower recruiting costs, all while improving efficiency. These features, combined with Indeed’s reach, will allow SilkRoad customers to maximize the exposure of their jobs to candidates in the most efficient way possible.
Having jobs automatically included on Indeed also makes it even easier to sponsor positions and get additional targeted job seeker traffic.
“We are very excited to be working with Indeed,” said SilkRoad Director of Product Strategy, Thomas Boyle. “They have simplified the job search process for job seekers, while building an incredibly cost-effective tool for companies to attract the best talent possible.”
