SmartSearch® recruiting business software offers automatic email synchronization with Exchange and IMAP…by SmartSearch

June 9, 2011

 

New Version 15 adds optional SmartSync functions to email capabilities

HRchitect includes SmartSearch in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Doug Coull, President & CEO, and LJ Morris, CTO with SmartSearch appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on March 6, 2009. If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 14 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management 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!

Advanced Personnel Systems, Inc. (APS), makers of SmartSearch®, a leading recruiting business solution and applicant tracking system (ATS), announced an important new SmartSync option to synchronize email from Exchange or IMAP Server directly into the user’s database. Offered as part of the just released Version 15, the new SmartSync integration ensures that all user activities related to email messaging are accounted for in performance measurement and reporting.

Doug Coull, CEO at APS, said, “Organizations have struggled to accurately capture and report on all emails because users often enter information into E-mail instead of working within their database. With our new synchronization functionality, APS is the first ATS vendor to reflect email activities automatically.”

SmartSearch® was the first ATS to integrate with Outlook in real-time, and its Outlook toolbar plug-in makes it simple to manage email from within the application, with tools that import inbound email or outgoing replies, as well as forward resumes into the database. The new SmartSync option builds on these existing capabilities to more easily manage email from within SmartSearch for seamless online communication and integration with Outlook, Exchange, gmail and other existing email systems.

In addition, SmartSearch® v15 upgrades its Outlook toolbar plug-in with the ability to forward an inbound email containing a job requirement and parse it into the database with a single click. This functionality uses the same parsing technology for email routing of inbound resumes, and is a direct result of suggestions from corporate customers who received job descriptions via email from Hiring Managers. It also makes it faster and more convenient for staffing agency customers to import job notifications via email from third party Vendor Management Systems (VMS).

SmartSearch® brings together the myriad building blocks of recruiting workflow in one easy-to-use application, with fully integrated web portals for candidates and employees, hiring manager self-service, and vendor partners to support employment branding, collaboration and communication.

HRchitect includes Peopleclick Authoria in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors and top Talent Management Systems vendors that businesses should consider. If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 14 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management 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!

Peopleclick Authoria – offering a unique combination of best-of-breed suite solutions for Talent Management, Vendor Management and Workforce Compliance and Diversity, today announced the availability of CAAMS, version 4.2, the company’s latest Compliance and Diversity product release.  With this announcement, Peopleclick Authoria delivers graphical workforce views and customized reporting with an industry-first dashboard capability.  By delivering a more dynamic and comprehensive approach to diversity planning and tracking, Peopleclick Authoria is helping Human Resource managers more effectively balance and optimize their workforce while meeting rapidly evolving Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements.

With the new release of CAAMS 4.2, HR professionals and management gain unprecedented visibility across the total workforce to examine talent balance and productive collaboration among teams, departments and even locations.  Typically, Affirmative Action Planning software generates tabulated reports, which are rigidly defined by geography.  With CAAMS 4.2, organizations are now able to view their workforces as they are managed — by department, by subsidiary or by geography.  Through a range of customizable reports and with the ability to import a broad array of relevant comparisons — including benchmark data, Census Bureau reports and other industry-based information –  Peopleclick Authoria’s breakthrough solution delivers an intelligent view of all employment decisions across the entire organization.  In addition, the software allows users to set their own risk thresholds to trigger dynamic reporting that flags potential issues.

“In today’s environment, HR professionals at all levels are challenged to reinvent their strategy in managing their workforce metrics,” said Randy Jesberg, senior vice president and general manager of the Workforce Compliance and Diversity division of Peopleclick Authoria. “Whether an organization is required to have an Affirmative Action Program or chooses to build a diverse, inclusive workforce, CAAMS 4.2 progresses beyond equal and fair employment practices. It provides a clear view of the workforce at every level of the organization, helping managers make healthier HR decisions that align with the organizational goals.”

With a comprehensive view of the organization’s HR practices, management dashboards and built-in business intelligence capabilities, CAAMS 4.2 contains a number of the following customer-centric enhancements: 

  • The TotalView technology gives managers and supervisors a clear view of critical workforce metrics both across and up and down the organization, up to 10 levels. Users can easily track workforce compliance or diversity trends and progress toward goals over time.
  • Plan Dashboard delivers a quick view of the diverse representation of an organization. Users can get a summary view of all job groups at all levels within the organization as well as metrics for Problem Area Analysis, Representation vs. Goal and Overall Representation.
  • Monitor Dashboard provides a quick, visual overview of Progress to Goals, Applicant Flow and areas of adverse impact at all levels of the organization for a monitoring period. Managers can easily direct or course correct critical hiring, promotion and termination decisions.
  • Risk Dashboard offers a visual overview of potential risks within an Affirmative Action Plan or diversity plan. Indicators identify progress to goals or adverse impact. Managers can proactively redirect resources to help meet plan goals and avoid audit violations.

CAAMS 4.2 delivers an actionable intelligent view of the organization’s workforce to meet EEO requirements or diversity initiatives. This leading-edge technology simplifies data entry and validation, producing multiple plans and reports concurrently, and allowing more frequent monitoring of HR practices by department, team, individual or any management structure. Building on PeopleclickAuthoria’s strength in workforce analytics and on the company’s unique expertise in achieving productivity with compliance, the new CAAMS 4.2 dashboards efficiently advise management of program effectiveness, enabling immediate action by the right people, at the right time for a diverse, inclusive workforce, while helping to ensure that federal requirements are met.

Premier Election Solutions hires over 15,000 contingent workers in 2008 using SmartSearch Vendor Management System…from Advanced Personnel Systems

August 11, 2009

 

Advanced Personnel Systems completes three year Case Study on PDS Tech managed services to support workforce needs that dramatically change from year to year.

HRchitect includes SmartSearch in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Doug Coull, President & CEO, and LJ Morris, CTO with SmartSearch appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on March 6, 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.

Advanced Personnel Systems, Inc. (APS) announced completion of a three-year case study showcasing the results of PDS Tech, Inc. use of the VMS-Smart vendor management system component of SmartSearch, a leading web-based talent acquisition and staffing management application.

In 2006, Premier Election Solutions, a provider of polling technology, turned to PDS Tech, one of the largest recruiting firms in the United States, as a managed services provider (MSP) to help deploy a vendor management system (VMS) to facilitate sourcing, hiring and management of a large contingent workforce that changes in size from year to year. Based in Allen, Texas, with offices and personnel throughout the United States, Premier Election Solutions provides voting machines, election products, training of poll workers, voter education, and services to manage polling places. Premier deploys polling technology in 33 states, with over 151,000 voting machines. As each Election Day approaches, the company works with states, counties and municipalities to design custom election solutions and ensure accurate, fair elections. Premier needed to automate recruiting and management of its contingent workforce, along with electronic requisition approval routing, distribution of labor requirements to staffing vendors, assessment and hiring of contingent workers, online time and expense tracking, and most importantly, control costs.

Anticipating a large voter turnout for the 2006 Congressional elections and a historic turnout for the 2008 presidential election, using the VMS-smart, the HR Administrators at Premier Election Solutions were able to handle the hiring of 9,618 contingent workers.

That was an increase of 7700% from the prior year, with no additional staff or other resources in the Human Resources Department. In 2007, Premier’s need was for only 1,985 contingent workers, but in the first quarter of 2008, it hired 1,836 contingent staff, with the final number of contingent workers exceeding 15,000 by the end of the presidential election cycle.

Deployment of the VMS-smart featured fully integrated web portals branded to Premier Election Systems’ web site to serve Candidates, Contract Workers, Hiring Managers, and staffing agency Vendors. Initially rolled out to users in March of 2006, training was completed in April, and by the end of May, the automated time card and expense tracking components were brought online. The Premier database of candidates, contractors, vendor partners and hiring managers is not only seamlessly integrated with its corporate site, it also provides PDS with system administration tools to track job orders and coordinate payments to suppliers, and coordinate all associated workflow from its users’ desktops.

To support the ramp up for the 2008 election year, and its plans for global expansion to Latin America, Premier Election Solutions worked directly with APS on developing enhancements to the VMS-smart including a dashboard report for Project Managers to track expenses and labor costs using a sales tax calculation, and a new flat rate calculator to further facilitate cost containment. Premier also took advantage of the system’s Mobile Access for managers to approve time cards and expenses from an iPhone, BlackBerry or other hand-held device.

Since Premier had to deal with a large number of field personnel, the ability to update multiple records simultaneously was essential. “Group recruiting functions expedite the process and give us greater control over the applicant flow to better serve our hiring managers in the field,” said Robin Williams, Contract Staffing Manager at Premier, “We could not find any other system able to provide the time-saving functionality of group candidate submittal, group reject and group hiring tools.”

In the case of Premier Election Solutions, outsourcing administrative tasks to an MSP allows the human resources department to better serve hiring managers and meet cyclical increases in temporary labor requirements without adding internal staff. A copy of the Case Study is available on request via email to info@aps2k.com.

Industry Research Confirms Peopleclick’s Leading Contract Labor Management and Talent Acquisition Strategy…from Peopleclick

February 17, 2009

 

Aberdeen Provides Detailed Research on Leveraging Contingent Labor during the Current Economy

 

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

 

Peopleclick, Inc., the leading global talent acquisition solutions provider, announced today the release of Aberdeen Group’s Contract Labor Management: Superior Workforce Strategies for a Demanding Market report. This research includes data from over 330 executives that were evaluated on how their contract labor strategies are successfully managed and executed during the current economic environment. The complete report is available for complimentary download at www.peopleclick.com.

Enterprises continue to leverage contingent labor strategies to combat the effects of today’s economy, seeking to find quality candidates when they cannot hire permanent headcount. The research report shows that 51 percent of the organizations surveyed believe the use of contract labor will increase over the next two years.

This research also indicates that leveraging vendor management system (VMS) technology can help organizations manage compliance, cost, speed and depth of their contingent labor program. The report stated that 61 percent of Best-in-Class organizations actively utilize VMS technology, but only 31 percent have the ability to analyze trends through workforce planning analytics. The lack of an integrated reporting solution makes it difficult to quantify the need for contingent labor and its effect on overall business performance. Understanding these needs are the key to running an effective contingent labor program, and this report indicates that 52 percent of companies surveyed plan to increase visibility into their spend, as a means of reducing cost and gathering valuable information.

“By leveraging VMS tools in the management of contingent labor, organizations are experiencing numerous benefits,” said Christopher Dwyer, Aberdeen research analyst and author of the report. “VMS technology streamlines the entire contract labor lifecycle while sourcing quality candidates. Enterprises currently utilizing VMS solutions have effectively increased visibility into their contingent labor spend by 32 percent.”

“Peopleclick provides robust technology that has helped us create our contingent workforce blueprint,” said Janis Glick, Manager of SMS External IT Resource Management for Nationwide. “With the Peopleclick® Vendor Management System, we are able to gain complete visibility and transparency into our contingent workforce, make informed business decisions and secure the best talent available.”

“The latest Aberdeen report confirms our vision to provide a platform that manages salaried, hourly and contingent labor,” said Ginny Gomez, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at Peopleclick. “Now more than ever, organizations are looking for ways to utilize their contract labor workforce. As a leading vendor management solution provider, Peopleclick provides technology that helps companies analyze and gain visibility across their entire workforce through true business intelligence.”
