I am very impressed with the key leaders they’ve assembled during 2011 to direct the company’s product and technology initiatives, with the way those leaders have come together as a cohesive leadership team, and with the product/technology plans and roadmaps they’ve made for the year ahead and which have been the basis for this year’s strong delivery.

New Mobile Integration Suite Captures and Correlates Data and Information from Disparate TM and ERP Systems to Extend the Life of Current Corporate Investments
HRchitect includes Peoplefluent 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!
Peoplefluent™, offering a unique combination of best-of-breed mobile and SaaS suite solutions for Talent Management, Vendor Management and Workforce Compliance and Diversity, today announced its Workforce Explorer application has been selected for presentation during the HR Technology Conference and Expo’s “Awesome New Technologies for HR” session. Workforce Explorer is an iPad® application that enables executives, managers and HR to manage talent in an accurate and highly visual manner. Workforce Explorer is part of Peoplefluent’s “Fluency on the Move” product suite.
Conference co-chair Bill Kutik said, “Every summer, I spend July and August watching online product demonstrations, in addition to the ones I view throughout the year. This year’s six featured companies were culled from a field of more than 60 for their innovative and high quality software.” He continued, “The sales figures for iPads, the anecdotes of getting access to corporate networks, and every prognosticator make it clear that tablet computing is a major part of our future. Peoplefluent has one of the best iPad apps I saw in selecting presenters for the ‘Awesome New Technologies for HR’ session.”
Addressing the portable digitized world of the new work culture, Peoplefluent has developed a suite of mobile applications native to the majority mobile user environment. The Company has not simply ported desktop data and screens to a readable format in the tablet and handheld arena. Peoplefluent has built, from the ground up, unique mobile experiences that integrate and correlate the most relevant information across all applications and data sources within the Talent management universe. In so doing, the Company is delivering a true data integration and investment optimization through a comprehensive mobile vision.
“While our tablet strategy is being bundled into a marketplace of emerging mobile product launches, our product premise far surpasses the simple requirements of mobility and efficiency,” said Charles S. Jones, Chairman and CEO of Peoplefluent. “We conceived this vision around a broader analytics and integration effort – one that fully understands the disruption and expense associated with replacing current enterprise-wide solutions. Our mobile suite will not only sit on top of the Talent Management software, but also on ERP applications across the entire organization. By unleashing the value of all of the resources and data within the business, Peoplefluent is extending the life of existing investments by capturing and correlating information from among multiple disparate systems.”
The HR Technology Conference and Expo will be held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, October 3 – 5, 2011. Open to full conference attendees, the Awesome New Technologies for HR session – during which each selected vendor will present for 10 minutes – is scheduled for Tuesday, October 4, 2011 from 4 – 5:15 p.m.
Detailed information about Workforce Explorer will be announced on the opening day of the event. Demonstrations of Workforce Explorer will be available throughout the conference in Peoplefluent’s booth no. 707.

Peoplefluent Delivers Customers Immediate Access to Talent Pool of Over 100 Million Candidates Worldwide; Increases Quality of Hire and Streamlines Recruiting Processes
HRchitect includes Peoplefluent in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors and top Talent Management Systems vendors that businesses should consider.

Peoplefluent, offering a unique combination of best-of-breed suite solutions for Talent Management, Vendor Management and Workforce Compliance and Diversity, today announced it is working with LinkedIn to connect its customers with over 100 million potential applicants worldwide, further generating quality of hire and streamlining recruiting processes. Today’s news, in conjunction with the “Fluency on the Move” mobile product line introduced by Peoplefluent earlier this month, underscores the Company’s intuitive talent management strategy designed to drive engagement by creating innovative, immediate and interactive experiences through the communities, devices and methods naturally preferred and undertaken by the user.
“The individual is today’s new system of record. In an emerging landscape, where shifting cultural and professional dynamics and rapidly evolving technology enablement have changed the relationship between employees and employers, LinkedIn has become the preeminent resource for individual Talent Profiles,” said Charles S. Jones, Chairman and CEO of Peoplefluent. “Consistent with our overarching intuitive talent management strategy and recent product innovations, we are helping our customers find the talent they need by giving them the easy, engaging and immediate ability to meet potential candidates where they already are — in their own powerful interactive communities.”
Concur, as a global leader in integrated travel and expense management, is the first of several Peoplefluent customers to expand its existing Peoplefluent Recruiting Solution with the “Apply With LinkedIn” integration. The company will implement the “Apply with LinkedIn” functionality across all of its career sites and its corporate site, in a phased strategy over the next several months, beginning with TripIt, their leading mobile trip organizer.
“LinkedIn represents a highly qualified and professionally engaged pool of talent, and it’s in Concur’s best interest to make the application process as easy as possible,” said Shelly Holt,Director of Global Staffingfor Concur. “We are committed to reaching and identifying the highest quality candidates for our rapidly growing business units like TripIt, and to making every interaction with our business a simple and welcoming experience. We are delighted about the impact that this integration will have on our recruiting initiatives, beginning with TripIt.”
Further expanding the functionality of its broad Recruiting Solution, Peoplefluent has developed key product integrations with LinkedIn’s leading professional platform. With this effort, Peoplefluent is streamlining the application process for job seekers and broadening the candidate pool for companies worldwide.
Citrix, a leading provider of virtual computing solutions that help people work from anywhere on any device, strives to provide the company’s hiring managers and candidates with simple, efficient tools, such as Peoplefluent’s Talent Management suite. “As a long-term Peoplefluent customer, we’re excited to enhance the recruiting and application experience with this innovative technology,” said Rich Berger, Senior Director Citrix Global HRIS.
“This is a great tool for candidates to streamline their application experience with Citrix. We are strengthening our social media and bridging the gap between LinkedIn profiles and our application process,” said Melissa Thompson, Director, Citrix Talent Acquisition. “We look forward to adding ‘Apply With LinkedIn’ to our Peoplefluent RMS implementation later this summer.”
Peoplefluent will offer two “Apply With LinkedIn” plug-in integration options to its Recruiting Solution customers. The first option will, through a one-click apply process, populate relevant LinkedIn profile information into the Peoplefluent recruiting system. Designed to streamline the application process for people who maintain rich professional profiles on LinkedIn, this will serve to broaden our customers’ applicant pool of high-quality candidates both actively and passively looking for new opportunities. The second option couples the convenient submission process of the first, while adding compliance and candidate screening alternatives for global enterprise customers. A one-click process will access a candidate’s profile data and populate the information into existing application forms on the career site. This process further allows the candidate to provide supplemental application documents, complete assessment forms and provide any other data necessary that is not typically stored in a profile, but is required as part of the application process.

New Corporate Identity Results From Broad Industry Focus Group Research and Comprehensive Brand Identity Engagement
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.

Peopleclick Authoria, offering a unique combination of best-of-breed suite solutions for Talent Management, Vendor Management and Workforce Compliance and Diversity, today announced its emergence under a new vision-driven brand as Peoplefluent™. The new corporate identity launches following a three month brand engagement, commencing first with its 650 employees then through extensive focus group research with top Human Resources executives from a range of geographies, industries and disciplines. The research findings represent views from both mid-sized organizations and large global businesses. The Peoplefluent™ image, logo and website will be formally launched today at Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Conference in Las Vegas, running from June 26-29, 2011 (visit the Peoplefluent™ at booth #2117).
Commenting on the name and brand, Charles S. Jones, Chairman and CEO of the new Peoplefluent, said, “We are very pleased with the direction provided to our new brand by a comprehensive group of senior HR management professionals that comprise our target audience. It is a powerful endorsement of our long-term vision and the true potential of the changing integrated Talent Management Suite.”
This broad Talent Management endeavor demands a level of fluency about individual employees far greater than what has been realized in the marketplace today. With the new Peoplefluent brand, the Company sets out to establish a new identity that better reflects the customer-inspired vision it conceived and began to build more than a year ago.
In the past two years, Peopleclick Authoria has deftly executed a deliberate and calculated evolution of its vision to engage and understand the total workforce. Fueled by the needs of its customers, the Company has dramatically expanded its product lines and capability through strategic acquisitions investing almost $200 million. The Company has also spent more than $61 million over approximately two years on research and development with a targeted focus on analytics, collaboration and mobile applications. In addition to the traditional components of a Talent Management suite, which would include, recruiting, compensation, performance management and succession planning, the Company’s solutions also enable the broadest view of the entire workforce. This workforce view is inclusive of employee and non-employee workers, and addresses the complex needs of compliance and diversity and it offers unmatched visual data and workforce analytics.
“Ultimately, one of the greatest values of Talent Management software is its ability to deliver actionable information about people to line managers and executives – essentially making the organization ‘fluent about the people’ part of the business,” said Josh Bersin, CEO and President of Bersin & Associates. “Peoplefluent has always had one of the most powerful and complete solutions for workforce analytics and decision making, so the new name captures this strength of helping organizations unlock and leverage knowledge about their people.”
In the coming weeks, Peoplefluent intends to announce a new ‘Fluency Methodology,’ a structured customer engagement model built around five essential Talent Management assessment criteria. This new methodology is being developed to assist customers in understanding their own workforce environments and opportunities, to help them address the changing market conditions that are impacting the total workforce landscape, and to support them with proven expertise in the deployment of collaborative and mobile initiatives. In addition, this week, Peoplefluent will be introducing its new Fluency on the Move mobile product line, broadly expanding its product reach and capability.

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.

Combination Delivers the Most Collaborative Integrated Talent Management Suite in the Market with Deep Visual Analytics and Modeling Capabilities
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.

Propelled by a shared vision to accelerate business outcomes and success through the strategic optimization of the workforce, Peopleclick Authoria today announced the acquisition of Aquire Solutions, Inc., a global leader in workforce planning and analytics solutions. This transaction unites the broadest integrated talent management suite with one of the fastest-growing and innovative workforce planning and analytics solutions available in the market (Inc . magazine’s “5000 Fastest Growing Companies” and Human Resource Executive magazine’s “2010 Top Product of the Year” for Aquire InSightTM). This combination brings the Talent Management marketplace a first-of-its-kind collaboration solution driven by unmatched visualization, analytics and modeling capabilities that align the planning initiatives and strategic objectives of the executive team, line management and workforce.
With this acquisition, Peopleclick Authoria demonstrates its continued commitment to build out its best-of-suite strategy for Talent Management, one that is already uniquely differentiated by the inclusion of Vendor Management and Workforce Compliance and Diversity. With the addition of Aquire, which will continue under its existing strong brand, Peopleclick Authoria changes the paradigm of what true Talent Management visual analytics capabilities will need to be as customers identify and execute their Social, Analytics and Collaboration strategies.
“Quite frankly, there is no other vendor in this category that is doing workforce planning and analytics in the exceptional and compelling way that Aquire is today. With this acquisition, we are functionally linking business intelligence and total workforce Intelligence to deliver — for the first time ever in the Talent Management arena — the seamless integration of strategic, financial and human capital data and true collaboration across many disciplines and any and all management layers of an organization,” said Charles S. Jones, Chairman and CEO of Peopleclick Authoria. “We are incredibly proud and excited to have these solutions and the creative people behind them – directed by the leadership of Lois Melbourne and the extraordinary technical innovation and vision of Ross Melbourne – on the Peopleclick Authoria team. We are enthusiastic about the additional value this combination will bring to customers worldwide.”
According to Jim Holincheck, Research Vice President at Gartner, “the depth and breadth of talent management suite offerings is improving, and that customers increasingly want to work with fewer providers to ease integration and analytics, and simplify vendor management requirements.” Moreover, “the biggest technology trend is around reporting and analysis. This is a good thing, as our customer references surveyed showed again that reporting was still relatively challenging for many of them (it had a mean score of 4.65 on a seven point scale, ranging from completely dissatisfied to completely satisfied).”
Commenting on the transaction, Lois Melbourne, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Aquire, said, “We have built this business over 16 years on the foundation of innovation and customer satisfaction. This acquisition accelerates and fuels the innovation that is at our philosophical and technical core. It also increases the reach and footprint of our market landscape, enabling us to deliver unmatched collaborative analytics and workforce planning within the Talent Management continuum, while still providing the distinctive solution that we bring to ERP environments every day. We are thrilled at this opportunity to expand the Aquire market reach and to grow.”
A pioneer in the market with their flagship OrgPublisher product line, Aquire (visit http://www.aquire.com/solutions has created powerful visualization capabilities within a data-intense technical environment. With highly graphical and flexible analytics and planning applications – from organizational charting to workforce planning, succession planning and data integrity – the company delivers the ability to collaboratively model current and desired states of an organizational structure. These solutions, either alone or in conjunction with the full Peopleclick Authoria Talent Management suite, give customers a strategic differentiator in understanding and assessing the most critical and complex elements of their organizations, so they can make precise and informed decisions about the business to affect real-time, proactive, impactful change.
“Workforce analytics and planning is a core component of talent management processes and should be used to optimize existing activities. Aquire is addressing this need with a workforce and employee centric approach that enables the ability to understand and optimize human capital,” said Mark Smith, CEO and EVP of Research for Ventana Research, the leading benchmark research and advisory services firm. “Integrating Aquire’s exceptional product suite into the broad Talent Management solutions provided by Peopleclick Authoria offers a comprehensive level of workforce analytics and planning to support Talent Management processes. This acquisition provides organizations a more holistic and actionable approach to utilizing workforce information for improving business performance.”
Aquire Solutions, Inc. will operate as a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Peopleclick Authoria Holdings, Corporation. Under committed arrangements, this organically fast-growing enterprise will remain independently run by Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder Lois Melbourne and Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder Ross Melbourne.

Enhanced Searching Helps Recruiters Effectively Find Top Talent
HRchitect includes Peopleclick in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Peopleclick participated in the Talent Acquisition Systems panel on June 10, 2009 as part of theHRshow event. 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.
Peopleclick, Inc., the leading global provider of talent acquisition and workforce compliance and diversity solutions, announced today a strategic partnership with Burning Glass, a top provider of resume processing, screening and searching technology. This partnership is highlighted in the release of the Peopleclick Recruitment Management System (RMS) 4.9 and will further advance Peopleclick’s resume parsing capabilities.
With robust data extraction and resume parsing, the Burning Glass technology, Lens/Xray, enables a candidate’s resume content to be processed more effectively. By expediting the registration and application process, applicants will receive an improved candidate experience, reduction in data entry and the ability to apply for multiple positions with ease.
This partnership will also deliver the following resume parsing enhancements:
- Enhanced Explicit Searching – Data parsed from a candidate’s resume can be stored as fielded data, giving recruiters the ability to search for specific values within a candidate’s resume. Examples of search criteria include school, major, minor, degree or employer; these searches return precise results based on the defined criteria.
- Improved Candidate Experience – When candidates provide their resume early in the application process, essential information is extracted and used to pre-populate registration, application and contact information forms. This simplifies the application process, making it less time-consuming for the candidate.
- Complete Data Validation by the Candidate – Once data is parsed from a candidate’s resume, it can be immediately stored in the database, or it can be presented back to the candidate for validation. This provides several options for data validation to ensure the candidate and recruiting team has access to accurate information.
“With more people applying for open positions than ever before, advanced resume parsing technology can streamline the application process and lessen the burden of redundant data entry for candidates,” said Ginny Gomez, SVP of Product Management and Marketing at Peopleclick. “As recruiters face an influx of applications and less time in their workday, they are continuously searching for more effective ways to find the right candidates. The combination of the Burning Glass and Peopleclick technologies further improves the ability to accommodate a recruiter’s hectic schedule by making it easier to search and locate the A-players within their talent pool.”
