To recruit top talent, you need an applicant tracking system (ATS) for easy integration
and high efficiency. Here’s a complete guide to the top 10 ATS Software for 2021.
ATS options are available for businesses across the board, be it for enterprise, midsize,
or small business requirements. Moreover, based on specific business needs,
organizations can also choose various formats of deployment.
For example, let’s say you need to purchase an ATS solution for a midsize corporation
with an employee strength of 800 (spread across three regions) – which you wish to
double over the next year. There was a time when you could not find a customized
solution specific to your needs, budget, and growth plans. So you would have had to go
for a typical one-size-fits-all option. Now, however, organizations are spoilt for choice in
a market that offers multiple options for the most specific combination of needs.
While most human capital management (HCM) suites do offer the sub-functionality of
an applicant tracking system, there are also several point solutions that specialize only
in ATS. The challenge now is not hunting for a specialized, customizable solution but
rather choosing the solution that is the best fit out of the many that are available.
The pie chart below depicts the market share enjoyed by the twenty most prevalent ATS
software. We will focus on the top10 ATS solutions for 2021 in no particular order. Since
there is no one-size-fits-all mantra for choosing an ATS, there is no “top” or “best”
solution that would work across the board. The key is to identify your own requirements
of an ATS and then choose a solution that can be suited to each unique need of your
organization.

Analyze. Track. Strategize.
With the right ATS, you can analyze, track, and strategize your talent acquisition
processes better. Based on our secondary research, Oracle Taleo and Bullhorn have
the best systems for applicant tracking system specifically, while SmartRecruiter shines
with its collaborative features. While Jobvite ranks high for interview
scheduling, BrassRing by IBM provides the best assessments.
In an exclusive with HR Technologist, Ashkan Rajaee. CEO at TopDevz, states that
“Using a sophisticated applicant tracking system or ATS in conjunction with AI to
determine performance removes bias from the hiring process, and when you factor in
flexibility and freedom for the candidate and employer, you get a higher volume and
higher pool to draw from and better quality candidates that you can select.”

“Companies that are not leveraging these aspects during their hiring processes that we
see in the market will see a competitor taking their candidates. Especially in the
technology and software development space where competition is fierce, the supply is
low, and the demand is exceptionally high,” he adds.
When it comes to choosing the best-fit ATS for your organization, employee strength,
user-friendliness, reporting capabilities, flexibility, and the level of integration allowed
with systems already in place are all factors that need to be kept in mind.
Are you ready to invest in smarter employer branding and a more intelligent breed of
talent management? Choosing the right application tracking system software is a crucial
step in the right direction.
So, now we know why it makes sense to use a recruitment CRM in your tech stack.
Let’s take a look at the 7 best recruitment CRMs on the market right now so your
business can start hiring smarter.
1. TalentLyft
TalentLyft is a great entry-level option recruitment CRM that helps businesses to
distribute their new job openings to multiple free and premium job boards with one-click.
Recruiters know that posting on one job board isn’t enough to get high-quality
applicants for a role. But posting a position across multiple platforms involves a lot of
time and effort. TalentLyft can help recruiters solve this problem through job board
integrations.
Once a recruiter posts a job, they can have it automatically added to their company’s
Facebook page, which gives the job position more online visibility. The CRM also gives
recruiters visual scorecards so they can see how well a candidate is suited to a role
based on their skillset once they apply:
TalentLyft Skills
On top of all this, TalentLyft also automatically enriches candidate profiles, schedules
interviews (which recruiters can also keep a scorecard of), and offers email automation
to keep candidates interested in positions once they apply.
2. Beamery
Beamery is a recruitment CRM that’s all about attracting passive candidates to a job
position.
The recruitment CRM helps companies run their whole sourcing organization on a
single platform. Recruiters can make informed, data-driven decisions and predict short
term and long term performance of candidates.
Using Beamery, recruiters can use multiple sources to attract candidates. The CRM
gives recruiters the tools to source candidates directly from web-pages, social media, as
well as import existing sourcing lists. Data is organized into comprehensible
dashboards:
Beamery Dashboard
The CRM’s talent pool builder also gives recruiters the tools to build segmented and
prioritized pipelines for open and future roles and keep them up to date. Plus, the CRM
boosts internal recruitment goals through collaboration. Using Beamery, recruiters can
easily share candidates, create notes, tasks, and follow-ups to collaborate more
efficiently to ensure they’re hiring the right people.
Price: After you request a demo, you will be given a custom price for your needs.
3. Avature
Avature is perfect for companies looking for a solution to campus recruiting.
Using Avature, businesses can target new graduates by building events and managing
their campus recruiting activities using a single platform.
Avature Events
Once students have attended an event and registered their interest in the company,
recruiters can nurture them with automated emails to keep their interest. Plus, the CRM
is customizable, and it can adapt to any type of campus recruiting your company does.
If you need to refine your strategy based on your performance and results, you can.
Johnson Controls uses Avature for their campus recruiting. The company’s Global
Talent Programs Senior Manager, Catie Anderson, says that over the years, students
have changed their demand and they expect companies to evolve with technology like
video interviewing and AI.
“We are a technology company, so that needs to be obvious when we interact with them
on campus, or else our employer brand messaging falls flat,” she says. “Because of
this, it’s crucial for us to partner with a vendor that is responsive, that understands the
future, and understands what college students, graduates, and candidates want across
the spectrum.”
Of course, Avature’s capabilities stretch beyond campus recruiting. Companies can use
this recruitment CRM for performance management, new hire onboarding, employee
referrals, and recruiting events management as well.
4. SmashFly
If you’re looking for a recruitment CRM that’s powered by AI, SmashFly could be the
tool for you.
SmashFly is more than just a recruiting CRM. It can help with event management,
referrals, and analytics solutions.
As AI powers it, SmashFly can conduct automatic candidate sourcing. It can hunt for
new candidates based on requirements from your database of interested talent, and
then automatically segment candidates into talent pipelines.
Once your team has that data and a complete record of every candidate in its database,
they can build automatic nurturing campaigns that are triggered by a candidates
behavior with your company.
SmashFly Solution
Nestle Purina used to rely on traditional ATS as well as using spreadsheets to track
candidate leads and touchpoints before they turned to SmashFly. After switching to a
recruitment CRM, the company’s recruitment team believe their technology now
matches its bold recruitment strategy vision and brand.
“A CRM is more than a database of names,” the company said. “Recruiters and
sourcers need to have a way to build candidate profiles, segment leads for reqs,
automatically nurture leads, etc. That key marketing component—email marketing,
automation, analytics—in a recruiting CRM is exactly what we got from SmashFly.”
Price: After you request a demo, you will be given a custom price for your needs.
5. Talemetry
Talemetry is a perfect solution for enterprise companies who want a more marketing-
driven approach to their recruitment efforts.
Talemetry says the combination of all these features provides candidates with a modern
recruitment experience while increasing candidate conversion rates—all on an
individual level.
Talemetry Profiles
CDW uses Talemetry to drive their recruitment, and they’ve been able to achieve
application conversion rates of over 83% by using the CRM. The company has also
managed to increase the average time spent on its career site to nearly six minutes,
and their candidate email campaigns now have an open rate of 72%.
Price: After you request a demo, you will be given a custom price for your needs.
6. Jibe
If your company is looking for a recruitment CRM that works with Google, Jibe is your
answer.
The CRM uses machine learning capabilities to serve up more relevant job search
results to candidates looking for their next job on the search engine. Using Jibe,
recruiters can go beyond the simple keyword matching algorithms found in most ATS
and create custom career sites to give more relevant job results for future candidates,
like this one Pepsico built:
The CRM allows recruiters to build and run automated marketing campaigns with
branded email templates, and it’s also a perfect platform to support veterans, too.
Because Jibe supports Google’s Cloud Talent Solution feature, US military service
members can find their perfect job role using their military occupational specialty code
(MOS, AFSC, NEC). Once their code is entered, they’ll be shown jobs that require
similar skills to those used in their military roles.
The best part? Jibe is partnered up with the world’s largest recruiting platform, LinkedIn.
The Senior Director of Business Development at LinkedIn, Lee Womer, says the
company’s partnership with Jibe has helped global organizations streamline their
candidate experience to attract, engage and hire the world’s top talent.
Price: After you request a demo, you will be given a custom price for your needs.
7. Yello
Are you a large company that has thousands of candidates applying for positions every
week?
Yello is a recruitment CRM built for dealing specifically with high-volume recruiting. By
design, Yello can help recruiters engage, screen and advance candidates at scale. The
result? Your company fills its empty positions quicker.
The CRM has an external job sourcing features that allow recruiters to find talent by
automatically searching job boards and then importing candidates into the CRM. It has
integrated ATS mining, so your company can localize its searches to find candidates
that fit. Plus, it’s integrated with LinkedIn so recruiters can quickly find talent on a high-
volume scale.
But when it comes to high-volume hiring, companies need a smart system, so they
aren’t overwhelmed by applicants. With Yello, candidates are automatically screened by
their qualifications, which allows qualified candidates to move down the hiring pipeline
faster. And the CRM keeps track of every candidate in your pipeline to see how
successful your company’s recruiting efforts are with detailed reporting:
Yello Dashboard
Cielo uses Yello for their recruiting, and the company’s Senior Vice President Adam
Godson said the CRM helps them engage with candidates on a high-volume scale.
“We bring more than 500,000 candidates into Yello’s CRM each month, organize them
into talent pipelines and send more than one million emails monthly to keep candidates
engaged.”
Price: After you request a demo, you will be given a custom price for your needs.
Wrapping up
Candidate experience is becoming a priority for recruitment and HR departments
around the globe.
Whether your company is recruiting on-campus or at high-volume, one thing is for
sure—you need a system to organize and nurture every single candidate in your hiring
funnel. With a recruitment CRM, a lot of the heavy lifting that comes with hiring like
emailing and pre-qualification processes can be put on autopilot.
Treating candidates like customers and showing them you value them is something that
a CRM can help you with. And the more your candidates are looked after, the better
chance you have of attracting top performers to work at your company.

side of recruiting. That’s why our customers report a 3-10x increase in time to fill while

We have a diverse enterprise customer base including many Fortune 500 organizations.
Our powerful Talent Intelligence Platform is valuable in the hands of a corporate
recruiting team as well as an RPO or Staffing team.
RPO Companies
CIELO
Cielo is the world's leading strategic Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner,
dedicated to ensuring our clients attract and hire better talent faster, all while providing a
world-class candidate experience. Many RPO providers think more like outsourcers
than recruiters, but we immerse ourselves in your industry, brand and values, and are
accountable for driving real business results. Or, as we like to say, WE BECOME
YOU™.
Each organization has unique talent challenges. Perhaps you need to shorten your time
to fill, or you have obstacles to providing a positive candidate experience. Whatever
your recruiting challenges may be, Cielo will work with you to assess your situation,
uncover the true core issues, and build an RPO solution best suited for your needs and
goals.
Typically, these recruiting solutions fall into three different types of partnerships.
Enterprise RPO
Project RPO
Project RPO is an ideal solution for when you need a certain amount of hires within a
very short, and very strict, timeline, and your internal team is already stretched to the
limit. In this partnership, Cielo assumes responsibility over the recruitment life cycle.
Cielo focuses on balancing quality and quantity to make sure your talent demands go
from your biggest worry to your proudest achievement.
Hybrid RPO
Hybrid RPO is ideal when you want RPO service support for a specific location,
business unit or critical position within your company. In this type of partnership, we
complement your current recruitment processes with a dedicated team of recruiters.
They will live and breathe your culture, mission and values while giving your Human
Resources team the flexibility it needs to focus on strategic business objectives.
An RPO partner can help centralize your hiring efforts. So whether you need full-time
employees, contingent workers or a mix of both, candidates will receive a seamless
experience and hiring managers will have a sustainable model that can flex and scale
with hiring needs.
Technology Consulting
Cielo Labs is our innovation engine dedicated to exploration with a methodology rooted
in design thinking. Cielo Labs allows us to test and complete proof of concepts with new
or emerging technologies, tools and processes; ensuring we understand how these
solutions can support your evolving talent acquisition strategy.
Cielo Labs takes a hands-on approach to not only the HR and talent acquisition space
but all corners of the technology landscape. We take inspiration from consumer
technologies and fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural
language processing and gamification to so you can rise above competition with your
top-tier talent experience and strategy.
Improve quality of hire and time to fill with artificial intelligence that matches best-fit
candidates to open requisitions and intelligent automation for zero-time shortlisting.
Harness intelligent automation to increase efficiency and elevate the human experience
in the hiring process with proven workflows tailored to different talent segments, use
cases and geographies.
Most talent acquisition functions have made at least one technology purchase in the
past two years. But two out of five companies are either dissatisfied or indifferent to their
current provider, finds Aptitude Research. The future of recruitment abandons the
current state of point solutions and unintegrated data that degrades experience,
challenges compliance, and prevents predictability in the recruitment process. However,
there is not one applicant tracking system (ATS) or candidate relationship management
system (CRM) in the market today that can cover the end-to-end process and capture
all the innovation within point solutions. This is why RPO’s future technology model is a
seamless, integrated digital ecosystem, according to the Everest Group. Cielo
TalentCloud makes that a reality through an optimal combination of technology, people
and processes.
“Since launching the first enterprise-wide technology platform in 2008, we have been
recognized for being first-to-market with innovations that revolutionize the recruitment
profession and industry. There is a reason why this level of transformation hasn’t been
done before – successfully at scale. Building a cloud-based platform with seamless
integrations that can flex with existing client tech infrastructure and accommodate new
innovations and changing business needs is complex. But with the TA and technology
expertise of our global team, plus the strong partnership with some of the industry’s best
technology providers, we can elevate our clients’ talent acquisition technologies and
strategies to achieve their vision,” says Sue Marks, Founder and CEO of Cielo.
“Companies need the right technology to hire better and remain competitive in the
market,” says Jerome Ternynck, CEO of SmartRecruiters. “Our open Talent Acquisition
Suite was built to provide a system that can easily deploy and integrate with other
systems, making SmartRecruiters the ideal technology partner to support Cielo
TalentCloud.”
“Building this vision of a reimagined Cielo TalentCloud emphasized the core of what we
knew. Better things are possible if you build on a foundation of great tech,” says Marissa
Geist, Chief Operating Officer of Cielo. “However, it drove home the point that better
outcomes are unlocked when you combine that with an open platform designed for the
future of TA tech, like SmartRecruiters, and supercharge it with ways of working proven
over millions of transactions, executed by the best team in the industry. This is a unique
point in time where the tech has really matured to be able to accelerate our industry at
scale.”
Cielo is the recognized leader in RPO technology, with the largest, most proficient
technology team in the RPO space. Through global RPO services and the Cielo
TalentCloud platform, we continue to work with and for our clients to create customized
talent acquisition solutions that deliver impactful hiring outcomes.

To get a better understanding of key developments in the TA tech market, Elaine Orler,
Cielo Senior Vice President – Technology Consulting, shares some top talent
acquisition technology trends to consider as you seek to advance your strategy and
deliver value to your organization.
Elaine: There's a lot of ambiguity around what 2021 is going to bring, especially from an
HR perspective. It has everything to do with COVID-19, the economy, and change. I
think there will be continued consolidation in the technology space. We're starting to see
more organizations gravitate toward a holistic approach, whether that be on their
Human Capital Management system (HCM) or another platform. We will also continue
to see organizations adopt technology to support the hybrid working environment. In
general, we're going to continue to see technology at the forefront. We figured out in
2020 that people can learn technology quickly. Those that didn't have to normally for
their job have now adopted technology to support how they do their work or where they
do their work. This only leads us to more opportunities to better solution workforce
technology as we go forward.
Elaine: I think the larger companies are putting a lot of pieces together to make sure
their all-in-one enterprise solutions are more effective. We're also going to see more
acquisitions within the talent acquisition tech space. And I have also started to see more
strategic partnerships as smaller players are coming up with ways to be a consolidated
play or consolidated partner. Some are cross-selling, others are cross-sharing. There
are a lot of point solutions out there that could benefit more from having a deeper
relationship with a product that isn't a competitor but could leverage that customer base
in that relationship going forward.
Elaine: It has a lot to do with the best-facilitated experience. How can we make sure that
we're getting the most effective relationship established with those candidates through
the use of technology? The candidate is the focus but the company gets benefits too. A
bot is navigating the candidate to the application information they needed, to the
careers page they’re looking for, it is facilitating their job search, their interview
scheduling and so on. Organizations benefit by candidates having a positive tech-
enabled personalized experience and they get efficiency and time savings on behalf of
their TA team.
Q: Do candidates care about having more technology to enable their hiring process?
Elaine: There are still going to be candidates that are frustrated because they just want
to get to a human being. We're creating a different experience to avoid having to
connect with a human, but based on hiring volume and where a candidate is in the
process – it may be the right answer. As you get further into the hiring process, there
does need to be someone’s phone number to answer questions. If the candidate wants
to, they should be able to talk to a person.
Elaine: Al forms two categories: 1) The most generic of senses, the Robotic Process
Automation, navigates through a series of questions and answers to take you to your
destination. 2) Then there is an AI form of all the data collection and knowledge, the true
intelligence piece, providing you intelligent results back.
Due to the young understanding of this technology, I don’t believe we are close to being
able to stay free of bias when using AI matching. I think companies that are developing
these products have the understanding that bias could be introduced and are looking for
ways to mitigate it, but I don't know that we have a full grasp of what it might look like
yet until there's enough data that we can analyze both ways. We should look to the
world outside of the TA space to see where we are with sophistication and lack of bias.
There are other products that don't relate to TA that are starting to solve for this a lot
better. We're on the path, but we have a greater risk in 2021 of exposing the bias more.
Q: Because most of the data is historical right now, do we need to utilize data collection
and analysis to get less bias?
Elaine: How we do bias becomes a behavior of doing the reverse, for example elevating
diverse candidates over those that aren't diverse. Within that action, we are introducing
a whole new bias to the process. Therefore, they're frontloading the slate with more
diverse candidates. The pendulum swings as far to the other side as it can. Since we
now have to hire diverse candidates, we have permission to exclude those that aren't. In
the end, we need to make sure everybody has a fair and equitable chance at the
opportunity. There are major risks with frontloading the slate with more diverse
candidates. The need to be diverse and the value proposition to the business to do it
are all the right things to focus on. However, the shortcuts that are capable of today are
dangerous.
Q: How and who do you start a conversation with at an organization about bias in AI?
Elaine: My best word is agnostic. When it comes to talent – you can always present
best and fair versus being tilted. It becomes a concept that you won't change the
outcomes just because there's a different altered request. There is a lot to be said in
staying true to who you are and staying true to what you believe the right values are.
Companies will come back around to those pieces, and the more you can defend
regularly that the value proposition is “let the results be what they are because a fair
and consistent process was done.” If you tilt that pendulum just a little bit too far one
way or another, you're biased. Your bias toward or biased against the goal is to stay
down the middle, just be fair and consistent.
Elaine: The pendulum is truly at both extremes and nowhere near the middle: we’re
seeing either best-of-point solution bolt-ons and also consolidated platforms. It is
polarized in my best description. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this polarized in the 20-
plus years we’ve been doing this.
Q: There are HR platforms that dominated the marketplace and evaporated so much of
the point solutions. Do you foresee something similar happening in the TA space?
Elaine: Every time a function of HR starts to say I'm part of sales and marketing and not
core HR, it means more bots and more point solutions. In the realm of what's important
from HR technology – payroll, performance, learning & development – talent acquisition
doesn’t always fall at the top of the list. But much like sales and marketing don't have to
use the same system, it's that flex between HR and TA where the evolution and the
change are going to continue to happen. I still see point solutions being created, then
being partnered, then being merged, then creating another platform, and then starting
all over again.
Elaine: In many cases, the head of TA is making all of their own point solution
decisions, then pushing for integrations into the bigger HR tech ecosystem. There are
chief diversity officers that are making more decisions with talent acquisition, it’s a
stronger partnership. Heads of diversity do care about the candidate experience and
what's happening through that process and how the company is perceived. I see more
and more of the buying committees where there are other HR stakeholders involved in
the assessment and the decision that includes DE&I leadership, or HR business
partners. They may not have direct responsibility for recruiting, but it does impact their
teams or their strategy.
How RPA & AI Are Taking Cielo’s TalentCloud to the Next Level
There is so much hype around RPA and AI technology that RPO, MSP, and Total
Talent vendors could get carried away in the race to launch the latest RPA or AI
technology feature at the expense of delivering excellent customer service.
Cielo has a more grounded approach to technology, suggesting that “Technology is only
as valuable as the human experience it improves” and is reflected in its current
technology strategy to improve customer service. Here I take a look at Cielo’s
TalentCloud, which comprises 3 elements: SkyRecruit, SkyAnalytics and SkyLabs.
SkyRecruit
SkyRecruit is Cielo’s CRM platform. Launched in 2015, it has been rolled out to all its
global clients and is Cielo’s operating engine, with the advantages of its employees
being able to work with different clients using a common platform. Having a choice of
13 modules, its two most popular modules are sourcing and events. Candidate nurturing
is one module which Cielo sees as essential for building candidate engagement. Whilst
there are core modules, the majority are taken up by clients once they are ready to do
so according to their business needs. Cielo has recently enhanced SkyRecruit in
several ways.
Firstly, Cielo has introduced a process bot for automated sourcing. This is particularly
effective where there are high recruitment volumes, such as in retail. The process bot
finds a high number of suitable candidates and uploads those details into SkyRecruit –
a process now taking one minute compared to 15 minutes by a human. Candidates are
automatically sent jobs of interest to them, candidates can engage with a recruiter and
move through the hiring process. Whilst talent pools can then be created by the process
bot, the real value comes in how the process bot organizes the talent pools and
communicates with candidates on an ongoing basis through social media, etc. taking
into consideration candidate preferences for working with certain client brands.
Secondly, Cielo has introduced Celia, its intelligent job search chat bot. Celia starts a
conversation with a candidate to find out what type of job/location they are looking for,
and then can pinpoint relevant jobs and answer questions from candidates. If the chat
bot cannot answer a specific question, it then escalates the question to a human
recruiter to engage in the conversation. Celia learns the answer from the escalated
question, so that next time the same question arises, Celia can answer it. Celia will
never replace humans, but will answer an increasingly complex range of questions,
releasing humans to focus on more value-add activities.
Thirdly, Cielo has introduced assessment as part of the hiring process. This includes
DISC profiling. As soon as a candidate applies for a role, a series of questions is asked
(taking just over two minutes of candidate time), the answers to which build up a DISC
profile of the candidate. Suitable jobs are sent to the candidate, based on their results.
For example, a candidate with a “high D” profile would be advised of sales roles. For
customer service roles, assessment focuses on emotion recognition to determine how
well candidates can read its potential customers.
SkyAnalytics
This is a relatively new addition to Cielo’s portfolio, and has already had a major
enhancement – now built on the Birst platform – which is being rolled out to its clients.
All client data, irrespective of its source, is visible on one platform. But rather than Cielo
presenting a plethora of graphs in a single view, bombarding the client with too much
information, it has had a re-think. Cielo now only presents the key measures that are
important to a client, yet has built more depth into the analytics, so that a client can drill
down into those key measures. The data shows where the hiring manager and recruiter
need to focus their efforts to enhance hiring performance.
SkyLabs
SkyLabs is the formalization of Cielo’s researching and testing of new tools and
technologies in the areas of RPA, AI, natural language processing, etc. The features
already discussed have come via SkyLabs. Cielo is learning as it innovates and
monitors items which impact progress. For example, RPA requires stable technology
systems and volume process repetition, so if a client decides to change its ATS after 3
months, it has an impact on the progress of RPA. Cielo is also looking at micro-
automations, where simple process steps are automated. Cielo’s employees are at the
heart of this automation. The process bot can learn from videos of Cielo’s employees
completing talent acquisition tasks, such as uploading a file. Processes that can be
replaced by automation free up Cielo’s employees to undertake roles that add more
value to its clients. Cielo has also made some progress in the use of voice interfaces
with the Amazon Echo. Cielo can ask Alexa a range of questions about the talent
acquisition process, such as the number of interviews booked on a particular day of the
week.
“We admire Cielo’s business success and their passion for meaningful client
partnerships. The synergy between the organizations establishes a path to continue to
elevate talent acquisition strategies and recruiting efforts globally,” Orler says.
This acquisition reinforces Cielo’s investment in innovation to ensure clients stay ahead
of the curve. In the last year, Cielo has expanded into additional geographies and
services to discover new and better ways to attract and engage talent for the world’s
leading organizations.
“To retain our position as the leading RPO provider, we know we need to continually
invest and grow our capabilities in the consulting space,” says Marissa Geist, Cielo
COO. “This is an important way to add value for our clients and help them achieve their
TA vision and business goals in this dynamic environment.”

technology infrastructure
Every day, the HR data that helps talent leaders manage and predict their human
capital grows and grows. A person submits a C.V. to a job board. Someone joins a
talent community. A person changes their status on social media. A candidate applies
for a job on your website. It all creates data. But the real key is bringing these talent
analytics all together to create meaningful insights that power your recruitment strategy.
Watch the video to learn how our proprietary talent analytics platform, TalentRadar,
brings together data from a wide variety of sources, combines it with market data and
integrates it with all your HR systems and platforms to help your hiring managers
answer important questions every day.
Rebecca Henderson, CEO of Randstad Sourceright, believes HR tech could help break
many of the traditional barriers for hiring, growth, and workforce management.
"Talent Velocity takes HR tech to the next level by streamlining the power of today's top
AI, machine learning and predictive technologies into a single, integrated digital
platform. This high-tech and high-touch talent acquisition model allows companies
around the world to better manage their hiring processes, collect business intelligence
and drive overall growth, while greatly improving the candidate experience. We look
forward to rolling out this platform to our clients in the weeks ahead."
Talent Velocity is agile and continually growing – as the market evolves, the solution
would also expand in tandem. The platform is backed by Randstad Innovation Fund and
the domain experts at their Global Talent Innovation Center.
"Three out of four companies we recently surveyed agreed that HR technology has
improved their overall recruitment strategy as labor markets continue to tighten. Still,
winning the war on talent will require a multi-pronged approach that combines expertise
in statistical analysis, application programming, employer branding, recruiting and
business strategy to bring the true potential of HR technology to life," Roberts added.
"The booming HR tech industry has completely reshaped the recruitment process by
breaking down traditional hiring borders, and expanding opportunities for employers and
employees to tap into the global workforce," said Rebecca Henderson, CEO of
Randstad Sourceright. "Talent Velocity takes HR tech to the next level by streamlining
the power of today's top AI, machine learning and predictive technologies into a
single, integrated digital platform. This high-tech and high-touch talent acquisition model
allows companies around the world to better manage their hiring processes, collect
business intelligence and drive overall growth, while greatly improving the candidate
experience. We look forward to rolling out this platform to our clients in the weeks
ahead."

employers. We help these companies discover and develop their "human intelligence
advantage" by quantifying the true impact of their talent strategies.

Randstad Sourceright Extends Its Innovation Streak with Talent Velocity: How’s
That?
While noteworthy in and of itself, Talent Velocity is only the latest of a number of
innovative steps Sourceright has taken in the past few years. Moreover, there is also an
important backstory in which Sourceright US seems to have become a key focal point
for the execution of a broader Randstad innovation strategy.
With a philosophy that emphasizes the human side of human capital management
(“human intelligence advantage”), Sourceright has also demonstrated a technology-
driven innovative streak over the past few years.
As noted above, Sourceright’s own innovation activities are linked to broader Randstad
Holdings innovation strategy, including investments of the Randstad Innovation Fund.
The Randstad Innovation Fund was founded in 2013 as the “strategic corporate venture
fund” of Randstad Holdings, investing in online platforms, big data analytics, machine
learning, sourcing, screening and selection tools. To date, the Innovation Fund has
made substantial investments in 15 technology companies, all starting with an
investment in the pan-European online freelancer marketplace twago.
In June 2016, Randstad Holdings fully acquired Twago (our coverage: Randstad
Acquires Online Freelancer Platform twago: A Watershed Moment in Contingent
Workforce Management?). And less than a month later in July, Sourceright announced
it had adopted twago to serve as its freelancer management system offering (our
coverage: Randstad Sourceright Leverages Recent Acquisition twago as FMS). Then
separately, In August 2016, Randstad Holdings announced its surprise acquisitions of
job board Monster (see our coverage Randstad Agrees to Acquire Job Board Giant
Monster: Scary or Smart?).
Back in 2015, Sourceright announced its launch of Talent Radar, “an advanced
analytics and recruiting intelligence platform that helps employers leverage data from
multiple systems to support informed talent decisions.” Then two years later, in 2017,
Sourceright announced its Global Talent Innovation Center in order to accelerate “the
development of innovative technology to help some of the world's largest companies
tackle talent recruitment and management.”
It is important to point out that Sourceright’s Talent Innovation Center was not only
about developing technology solutions, it was also very much about the strategic
leveraging and integration of other Randstad technology assets. The Talent Innovation
Center, it was explained, would build on Randstad Sourceright's proprietary Talent
Radar analytics platform and “combine Randstad Sourceright's existing technology
platforms, with those from Monster and Twago, to advance digital hiring strategies.”
In March 2018, achieving a significant new stage in the whole innovation process,
Sourceright announced Talent Velocity, an innovative, internal talent acquisition,
candidate engagement and client relationship/collaboration platform. Per the
announcement, Talent Velocity brings together “AI, machine learning and predictive
technologies into a single, integrated digital platform.”
The solution was designed and built within Randstad Sourceright’s Global Talent
Innovation Center, and many of the key components are solutions of companies which
the Randstad Innovation Fund strategically invested in or acquired over the past several
years:
While Talent Velocity leverages the GR8 People solution as the application backbone, it
also “builds on Randstad Sourceright's proprietary Talent Radar analytics platform,
which translates raw data, market trends and industry insights into predictive talent
acquisition and retention strategies that help organizations solve difficult recruiting and
business challenges,” according to the press release.
Perhaps the best way to get a real sense of what Talent Velocity is and does is to check
out Sourceright marketing video (while not something we would typically recommend, in
this case, it seems like a good idea).
Conclusion
Clearly, Talent Velocity is much more than just a new software solution. It also
represents the culmination of a deliberate innovation strategy at Randstad already
underway for several years. (Note again, the Randstad Innovation Fund was
established in 2013.)
It should also be noted that while Sourceright (in the U.S. market) appears to be a key
focal point of innovation, it does not represent the full scope of the strategy. By way of
example, Randstad Japan has introduced an online staffing offering based on Gigwalk,
one of the Innovation Fund investment recipients. In addition, Twago recently
announced that it had launched its own standalone enterprise solution, twago
enterprise.
Nearly two decades into the 21st century, innovation and the appropriate incorporation
of technology are no doubt critical to the success of established staffing and human
capital management solution businesses. In this respect, Randstad is making an
impressive showing. And given Spend Matters’ core focus on technology and
innovation, going forward, we will definitely be paying attention to technology and
innovation within Sourceright and across Randstad Holdings. So expect ongoing
observations and additional commentary.

Following initial focus on preserving employee health and safety, enabling its
employees to work from home, then supporting its clients to do so too (by setting up its
MSP COVID-19 taskforce), there was a wave of MSP clients that needed to either
ramp-up or reduce their workers with immediate effect.
Within 12 hours, Allegis Global Solutions had set up a COVID-19 Operational Demand
Center (with a Leader, a Recruitment Manager, a Supplier Manager, and three
specialist recruiters) to control all the different client demands centrally. Being able to
holistically see all recruiters and manage their movement, from program teams seeing
declining recruitment to program teams seeing recruitment surges, was essential. More
importantly, Allegis Global Solutions needed a grip on the movement of all contingent
workers (whether those of their existing clients or new organizations reaching out for the
first time for COVID-19 support).
The Healthcare vertical, with three clusters of clients with hiring needs at different times
throughout the pandemic, would add another layer of complexity. Life Sciences
(including Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals, etc.) were ramping up hiring from the get-
go. One client, manufacturing items to combat COVID-19, required an additional 250
resources, which Allegis Global Solutions delivered within three weeks, leveraging their
existing supply chain. Another client needed to reach a target of delivering 100,000
medical devices to hospitals, requiring 100s of extra staff to manufacture those devices.
Also, clinical clients were ramping up, but with the complexity of worker reassignment.
Allegis Global Solutions uses its proprietary platform to keep track of the workers.
Information stored comprises key details of the worker; the supplier representing them;
the manager they report/reported to; the client they are/were deployed with; and the
original requisition number. This enables Allegis Global Solutions to successfully
reassign workers to new jobs and track their location so they can be hired for a new
assignment or rehired in their original position, should circumstances allow.
One client, providing occupational health services, was adapting its services to support
the COVID-19 pandemic (temperature screening, nurse provision, etc.), requiring
tracking of their redeployments. Similarly, hospital network workers were being
redeployed from areas (such as elective surgery, where demand has slumped) to ICU,
which was desperate for additional resources.
Allegis Global Solutions’ proprietary technology proved its worth when it was asked by a
State Governor’s office to stand up a hiring solution within 24 hours. The solution
required 1000s of clinicians to be on the front line to save lives at existing and
temporary hospital sites, as well as to skill nursing facilities throughout the State.
Twelve hours later there was a verbal agreement in place to deliver MSP-type services
for them (normally a 12-month engagement cycle) and deploy technology (a four-to-six-
week process, usually). The project was to supply talent and create an outreach web
portal for talent (possessing medical skillsets). The program could potentially have
needed 12-15K extra hires as a worst-case scenario. Further complexity has come from
the need to interface with and source talent from several existing hospital networks,
which would normally be competing with each other. To date, there have been over
1000 clinicians hired and dozens of individuals reassigned from other jobs.
Allegis Global Solutions has been leveraging its ACUMEN Business Intelligence
technology, too, where at the presentation layer, it can get access to as much data as it
needs to see what is happening in real-time. It keeps track of all clients, what jobs are
open, and what jobs have been cancelled. Also, it identifies where there is a surplus of
workers who can be redeployed to another client with a spike in demand. It has been a
useful repository of pay data, too. The already severe clinical staffing shortage has been
exacerbated with COVID-19, as clinical workers have demanded a 30%-100%
pandemic/ quarantine premium in addition to their basic pay to consider a temporary
role. This data set from the pandemic will be invaluable for the future if similar events
happen again.
Looking ahead
As per the NelsonHall March 2020 research, Allegis Global Solutions is one vendor
advising its healthcare clients (especially frontline clinical workers) on the quickest way
to leverage technology to aid remote hiring, especially for virtual interviewing (where
face-to-face interviewing has been the norm), timely background
screening/credentialing (including drug testing), and the virtual onboarding of workers.
Allegis Global Solutions has helped clients to prioritize the components, from the most
important to the least important, making concessions allowing contingent workers to
start work, with checks following on later than would otherwise be permitted.
Into Q3 and beyond, essentially a lag of several months, the healthcare payer providers
will see an uptick in work, resulting in a surge in demand for extra staff from Allegis
Global Solutions, as end customers will make claims, require preventative testing, and
the window for open enrollment looms (with expectations of enrollments being higher
than ever before). This activity may be post-clinical ramp-up or sit alongside (depending
on how long the COVID-19 pandemic remains at a “requiring social distancing” level). It
will, however, add further data/tracking insights into the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic via its proprietary platform and ACUMEN. When the pandemic is over, it will
be interesting to see the patterns of reassignment and rehire of workers throughout the
period.
Conclusion
For me, what the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted is that organizations have left
themselves exposed through their slow uptake of digital transformation (especially in the
recruitment space). On a positive note, it has made everyone aware of the importance
of technology in their daily lives (and how it has enabled organizations to have some
level of business continuity). It has forced organizations to embrace digital
transformation at an initial break-neck speed, such that there is now no turning back.
The Allegis Global Solutions case study highlights that organizations cannot embrace
digital transformation/ recruitment transformation single-handedly. Organizations must
seek out a suitable partner who can guide them on their transformation journey.
Chad Lane, President of Allegis Global Solutions, said; “This workforce intelligence
platform will change the way our clients and AGS teams conduct business and provide
data-based recommendations to help organizations grow. The ACUMEN platform is
globally-focused and will provide performance benchmarking, backed by 30-years of
staffing experience and 20-years of MSP experience.”

Korn Ferry
And, unlike recruitment process outsourcing agencies who hire and go, we’re the only
provider that evaluates and benchmarks skillset and mindset for each role, including
market insight, job design and sourcing specialists to hit hiring targets without
compromising on candidate quality. So you find candidates that don’t just tick boxes on
paper, they fit your team and culture too.
Recruitment is a long-term investment in the people who power your business. We’ve
shaped our teams and technology to quickly find quality candidates who want to work
with you, making our recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) services much more cost-
effective than traditional recruitment agencies. Which is why we consistently rank in the
top global RPO providers for client satisfaction, even while filling over 100,000
permanent roles every year.
We can take on the whole process or provide support where you need it. We find great
candidates and recommend the top talent to choose from. And we tailor our team to fit
your goals—so no matter what your recruiting needs, we’re right there with you.
Our advanced recruitment platform, sitting in the Korn Ferry Intelligence Cloud, uses
insights and AI to spot the people who have both the skills to do the job and the mindset
to grow and develop in your culture. So you spend less time and money finding quality
candidates. And we don’t stop after the search—we’re there to settle them in for the
road ahead.
With a focus on hiring quality talent, we know how crucial it is to instill a sense of equity
and ethics when communicating with both internal and external candidates in order to
bolster a professional and attractive image during the recruitment process. We keep
your candidates excited and the lines of communication open throughout the process.
And we prepare you for interviews with custom candidate guides so you’re consistent in
your evaluation approach and find it easier to measure criteria and consider your
options.
Diversity is infused into every part of our recruitment process. Our approach provides
results in a differentiated and non-biased process experience for all candidates while
keeping them engaged at every stage. We partner with you to explore your drivers for
diversity and discuss which job requirements are most critical for you. We can advise on
the attractiveness of your employer brand with key diverse talent pools and explore how
ready your organization is to retain diverse talent in any given market.
We build the team you need when you need it, made up of specialists in RPO, advisory,
executive and professional search, depending on your focus. Need expertise in
branding, change management or project recruitment? We provide it. Our people work
around the world in almost every industry to give you specialist knowledge with a global
outlook.
We take an agnostic and bespoke approach when it comes to the selection of tools and
technology for all our solutions. We place focus and emphasis on working
collaboratively with our clients to determine the best possible talent acquisition solution,
and advise on the specific tools and technologies to adopt as part of the process.
Our Capabilities
Our deep expertise spans the talent function from end-to-end. We help businesses
develop comprehensive, effective strategies that improve their organizational structures,
create attractive rewards and benefits packages, build thoughtful assessment and
succession programs and develop current talent and future leaders. In sum, we help
you unleash the power of your people to close the Potential Gap: the difference
between where you are now and where you need to be to achieve sustainable growth.
Our AI-based HR platform pulls together market intelligence and Korn Ferry-owned data
to provide insights and recommend actions. We benchmark where you’re at now
against your industry, peers and best practice, to help you make better, faster decisions
about your organization, leadership and people.
The result is data-driven decisions to help you speed up your business transformation
— whether that is assessing the talent you have, identifying the talent you want or hiring
the talent you need.
Every day organizations make critical business decisions without understanding the
distance between where they are today and where they need to be to succeed.
Let us help you discover where you are now and where you need to be to achieve
measurable results.
Typical HR data shows where your organization is today. The Korn Ferry Intelligence
Cloud shows where your organization will be tomorrow—if you make the right changes
to reach your goals. Our data gives you the insight you need to get the right people in
the right roles and close your Potential Gap. It includes:
Market intelligence
Instantly see trends and movement in the jobs people are leaving, applying for and
accepting with real-time talent market data.
People capabilities
Find and develop the best people and assess your current teams and potential
candidates to check they have the skillset and mindset to shine.
Our assessments use Success Profiles to help you determine “what good looks like” in
terms of the skills, behaviors and mindsets individuals need to have for any given role.
This in turn helps you understand your Potential Gap–which, in talent terms, is the
difference between the talent you have, and the talent you need to deliver your future
strategy.
By understanding this gap, you’ll be able to create the optimal blueprint for developing
talent at the individual, leadership and organizational level. You’ll also discover how to
best upskill, reskill and recruit talent at scale to build a workforce for tomorrow and
today.
Korn Ferry Assess empowers leaders to take actions that lead to business success.
Assess illuminates the talent and capability gaps in your organization, so you can
ensure you have the roles, skills and talent you need to deliver on your future strategy.

for individuals at all levels will enable organizations to confidently and consistently make
the right talent management decisions.

We’re your trusted partner in the war for HR talent
The war for top talent wages on, with no cease-fire on the horizon. Organizations
recognize that their people are their chief differentiator, so they constantly battle to
attract, recruit and retain the highest possible caliber of talent.
Who’s leading the charge in these battles? Human resources. The HR function is critical
to a company’s success on the battlefront because it touches so many aspects of an
organization: talent acquisition, talent management, compensation and benefits,
leadership development, succession planning, organizational development, diversity
and inclusion, innovation and more. But HR teams can’t do it alone; they need a trusted
partner like Korn Ferry.
Our Human Resources Center of Expertise helps you attract, develop and retain best-
in-class chief human resources officers (CHROs) and their senior teams to leverage HR
as an integral business strategy. We offer a full range of solutions designed to address
CHRO talent needs: from strategic search to competency-based assessments and
engaging, interactive high-potential leadership development programs to one-on-one
coaching, strategic talent design and succession planning.
The program will place special emphasis on Diversity & Inclusion by identifying and
placing minority candidates in the company's workforce, and on Second Chance Hiring
by identifying and placing candidates who are formerly incarcerated individuals.
The new partnership with Korn Ferry continues a year-long effort by Aventiv
Technologies to diversify its workforce and address reforms. "We know that a diverse
team drives creativity and insight, and we are committed to increasing the
representation and career development of African Americans and Hispanics in our
workforce, including our management ranks," said Cindy Pechal, Chief Human
Resource Officer of Aventiv Technologies. "We will continue to work with like-minded
organizations to make a lasting impact in the communities where we live, learn, and
serve."
Aventiv will provide regular updates about its diversity hiring and inclusion efforts
through 2021.
Experience management firm Qualtrics and consultant Korn Ferry expanded their
strategic partnership after working for 12 months to incorporate the consulting firm’s
Engaged Performance framework and research into the Qualtrics XM platform.
Later this year, Korn Ferry will begin providing a migration path for its current clients
onto Qualtrics EmployeeXM, the companies said.
Last year, Korn Ferry joined the Qualtrics Partner Network to build an experience-
focused global delivery and advisory service with Qualtrics. Since then, the companies
have designed and implemented employee experience programs for over 100
customers. At the same time, Korn Ferry gained experience implementing and advising
global organizations on using EmployeeXM. It also became the first EmployeeXM
partner to achieve “accredited” status across North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific.
Additions to Qualtrics
Over the next several months, the companies plan to introduce additional features, such
as an extension to Qualtrics’s Action Planning module. Clients will be able to access
Korn Ferry’s Virtual Coach and enhanced interpretation of employee feedback results,
as well as access to engagement-related content.
“We’re excited for this next phase of our partnership with Korn Ferry as we continue to
innovate on the Qualtrics platform,” said Qualtrics Chief Ecosystem Officer John Torrey.
“Our shared vision with Korn Ferry has helped our joint customers quickly realize the
business impact of their XM programs, and we will continue to invest in our partnership
in new ways to accelerate how we help organizations worldwide.”
Korn Ferry (NYSE:KFY) today announced that it has been named as a Leader in in
Everest Group’s Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) PEAK Matrix® 2021. This is
the fourth consecutive year that Korn Ferry has been named as a Leader in RPO.
Everest Group also recognized Korn Ferry as a “Star Performer” for demonstrating the
most improvement year over year.
For the RPO Services PEAK Matrix, Everest Group analyzes the RPO landscape and
the performance of 28 service providers, looking at these providers’ vision for RPO,
their capacity to deliver on that vision, the impact that they have had on the wider
market, including the scope of services offered and level of innovation and investments.
The assessment also takes into account third-party RPO deals as well as approximately
3,400 multi-process RPO deals. The report divides RPO providers into three main
categories: Leaders, Major Contenders and Aspirants.
The report cites several advancements in Korn Ferry’s RPO offering that led to its
positioning as a Leader and Star Performer, including registering double-digit growth in
hires managed globally and investments in Centers of Excellence to improve internal
capabilities in DE&I advisory and healthcare. In addition, the firm has strengthened its
presence in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry.
The report also points to the launching of Korn Ferry Intelligence Cloud platform for
internal talent mobility and skills transformation.
“Korn Ferry RPO possesses the ability to customize its offerings while servicing clients
across multiple regions. Its best-in-class consulting expertise, advanced technology
portfolio, and domain-focused Centers of Excellence are expected to act as a key
differentiator going forward,” said Arkadev Basak, Vice President, Everest Group. “This
differentiation helped position Korn Ferry RPO as a Leader and Star Performer on
Everest Group’s RPO PEAK Matrix® 2021.”
Korn Ferry’s flexibility is rooted in an offering that can help businesses to address their
talent needs in a strategic way, explained Jeanne MacDonald, Korn Ferry president of
global RPO solutions.
Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY) announced today that it has been named a 'Pacesetter' in ALM
Intelligence's 2020/21 Workforce Management Services Research Report.
In its report, ALM Intelligence examines the strategies and service offerings of 19
providers identified as Market Leaders by the ALM Pacesetter Advisory Council. The
report assesses these firms for their ability to deliver client impact in today's challenging
business environment, naming Korn Ferry as one of four 'Pacesetters.'
The report states that, 'Korn Ferry has evolved into a market-leading organizational
strategy consultancy with a unique value proposition grounded in an understanding of
the causal relationship between human behavior and organizational performance. This
has taken new meaning amidst the COVID-19 crisis, driving increased demand for Korn
Ferry's 'radically human transformation' approach to workforce management.'
'There's no doubt that the past year has been one of the most challenging times for
business leaders as they transition to remote work, attempt to provide calm to a
disrupted workforce and make seismic shifts in business strategies and processes,' said
Laura Manson-Smith, Korn Ferry Global Leader, Organizational Strategy Consulting.
'We're honored to be named an ALM Pacesetter and be recognized for our radically
human transformation approach that is still deeply rooted in our decades of proprietary
IP and fierce focus on client delivery and success.'
The report evaluates the providers based on five Pacesetter criteria: business model,
value proposition, service delivery, client enablement and brand eminence.
When describing Korn Ferry, the Pacesetter report states, 'The firm has shaped a
The report continues, 'With its diverse resources, Korn Ferry leads the market in its

overall engagement services provider in HRO Today's 'Baker's Dozen' Customer
Satisfaction Ratings; a leader in NelsonHall's 'NEAT' Vendor Evaluation for RPO; an
RPO leader in Everest Group's 'PEAK' Matrix Assessment; and best executive

people and advise them on how to reward and motivate their workforce while
developing professionals as they navigate and advance their careers.

Introducing TALENT.™
In a traditional talent acquisition function, the management of hiring depends on the
type of employment status, department or function. Our TALENT.™ solution centralizes
the hiring for full-time, part-time, temporary or contingent workers allowing talent
acquisition teams to look at their entire workforce in one place.
The use of contingent labor has proven effective in alleviating some of the talent
challenges that today’s organizations face. It is no longer optional to look at talent
acquisition as a whole, it is essential.
A successfully aligned talent acquisition strategy enables all of the talent strategy
components, especially the dedicated recruitment team executing it to perform better.
Blended resource models allow for knowledge to be flow freely between the permanent
and non-permanent talent acquisition teams as well as ensuring the right decisions are
made for wider business goals.
Start by identifying what hinders your ability to attract, source and hire the talent you
need to drive your business forward.
With the right talent in place, you can land new clients, build capability, close a skills
gap, test a new market or develop a new product. Our recruitment outsourcing solutions
ensure you have the right people and processes in place to deliver on that vision, while
freeing your team from administrative tasks associated with hiring and creating a more
diverse and inclusive workplace.
Enterprise Defined
A single, multi-process or end-to-end recruitment solution that supports a specific
business unit or location
Project-based RPO
Achieve a specific hiring goal or engage support for a short-term project (typically 1 year
or more)
Recruiter Augmentation
Boost the output of your in-house talent acquisition team by accessing additional talent
acquisition resources.
Strategic Sourcing
Source talent using models best suited for achieving your specific hiring goals and in
response to economic demands
How it works
Let us know your challenges and what you’re trying to achieve. We’ll do the rest.
You’ll work with a team that is focused entirely on your organization. Depending on what
works best for your business, the team will work on-site at your offices or in-market
regionally.
We make sure you deliver against critical business needs. Your dedicated team will
make sure you’re well-positioned to respond to current and future hiring needs.
Quality talent to support critical business needs A more diverse and inclusive workforce

“We’re proud to rank as a leader in all categories again this year. It’s a testament to our
team’s ongoing commitment to exceptional client service, even under challenging
circumstances. We are dedicated to strengthening client partnerships by helping them
flourish through any future market fluctuations,” said WilsonHCG’s CEO John Wilson.
Earlier this year, WilsonHCG was the only provider to be named a Leader and Star
Performer in Everest Group’s 2020 PEAK Matrix® for Recruitment Process Outsourcing
(RPO) in North America. The company’s proprietary analytics platform, Analytics
Cloud Exchange (ACE), which collects data from multiple sources and technologies
into a single dashboard, was described as a “distinguishing feature of vision and
capability advancement.”
WilsonHCG was also recognized in HRO Today magazine’s annual Baker’s Dozen list
for RPO for the 10th year in a row.

Our customer, a consumer tech company, will hire over 10,000 people to ramp up for
the upcoming holiday season. They turned to Pontoon to transform their hiring process
and prepare for the impending hiring surge.
“This is not only disruptive for our client, but for the industry as a whole. We at Pontoon
believe this is only the tip of the iceberg as to what we plan to deliver in regards to
recruiterless solutions moving forward. The ability for us to hire thousands of people
without a single recruiter is truly groundbreaking and a first of its kind in our market.”
The use of technology throughout the recruitment cycle increases both candidate and
hiring manager experience while also reducing cost to the customer and increases
speed to hire.
A non-automated program with a similar scope of hires would take a large team of
dedicated recruiters and coordinators – costing more and slowing down the click-to-hire
process significantly. Tim further shares:
“We have made hiring this talent as friendly and simple as buying a new pair of shoes
online. With just a few clicks the person can be starting his or her new job within days.
This will significantly increase the experience and satisfaction levels of both our
candidates and client hiring managers.”
20 September 2019
Total talent solutions provider Pontoon, part of the Adecco Group, announced that it has
launched its first ever recruiter-less RPO product.
Pontoon says a non-automated program with a similar scope of hires would take a large
team of dedicated recruiters and coordinators, costing more and slowing down the click-
to-hire process significantly.
“We have made hiring this talent as friendly and simple as buying a new pair of shoes
online. With just a few clicks the person can be starting his or her new job within days.
This will significantly increase the experience and satisfaction levels of both our
candidates and client hiring managers,” Meehan said.
27 Mar 2020
Last year Pontoon’s Tech Lab and Operational Excellence (OPEX) teams led a series
of Collaboration Lab sessions with customers with the specific aim of finding a better,
quicker, more efficient, and cost-effective way of enhancing the experience when
onboarding talent across their programs.
‘Pontoon On’ was created and internal clients have been seeing the benefits ever
since.
Driven by Digital Process Automation (DPA) the solution automates several elements of
the onboarding stages from ‘offer’ to a worker starting. Many of these processes
historically have been manual and “hands-on” requiring in-person interaction which
ultimately slowed down the process and had negative impacts on both the customer
and candidate.
“This solution delivers a more positive experience for both the candidate and hiring
manager. ‘Pontoon On’ speeds up the onboarding of a new employee with new starters
beginning their assignment 1-2 days faster. We have also seen a significant (23%)
improvement in the quality of onboarding experience for the talent.”
While initially only available to existing customers, the product is now being extended to
the external market in order to handle current demand. Upwards of 70% of Pontoon
customers around the globe are currently reporting a slowdown in the cycle time of
talent entering their organizations. The most common feedback from both customers
and Pontoon’s core supplier base is around the challenges associated with onboarding
as almost 100% of our customers and partners now have large parts of their business
as a remote workforce and digital onboarding has been a sometimes forgotten part of
the process as it was never as necessary as it is today.
“We are in unprecedented times. Our customers, now more than ever, are looking for
solutions which ensure their organizations can continue to operate as efficiently as
possible and position them as market leaders in the talent space. Pontoon On is a
solution that we see great potential in solving a very real problem that is universal at
present. What started as a controlled pilot with two global customers has rapidly
expanded in recent weeks with almost all customers asking for this solution to be
accelerated into their business. Being able to onboard and start new talent as the
remote workforce grows allows our customers to operate at the forefront of our new
normal.”
22 Jan 2021
Pontoon Rapid Hire was designed in response to customers’ needs to quickly assess,
interview, and hire qualified talent. This solution ensures placed candidates meet all
necessary role requirements and eliminates the lengthy interview process.
Candidates are sourced through Pontoon’s Talent River approach to ensure just-in-time
delivery assisted by chatbots that grow the talent community of qualified and available
applicants.
Pontoon Rapid Hire replaces the need for hiring managers to interview candidates by
utilising a centralised interview team provided by Pontoon. The interview team uses a
set of detailed criteria standardised by role, to determine a composite score based on a
pre-assessment and an interview. A hiring decision is reached when the candidate
satisfies the job requirement assessment and attains the minimum composite score.
This process enables verbal offers to be given within 24 hours or the same day the
interview is completed.
“ As the RXO provider to a leading food manufacturer, we needed to find a way to take
the time spent interviewing off the plate of the hiring managers so they could focus on
meeting the increased customer demands during the pandemic. Rapid Hire was a way
for managers to spend more time getting new hires up and running and focus on
bringing their product to market.”
Early pilots of this solution have reduced time to fill from 40 days to 7 days and have
shortened application to scheduled interview time to within 2 days. The initial success of
the program has eliminated 90,000 annual hours of interview time for client hiring
managers allowing managers to focus production and distribution and less time on the
hiring process.
“Pontoon partnered with us to further streamline the hiring process and alleviate tasks
for our hiring managers. The results speak for themselves but also the lightning-fast
build of this solution and implementation in the height of COVID was impressive in its
own right.”
23 Sep 2020
Pontoon has released a comprehensive remote assessment tool for talent leaders to
evaluate their program and identify opportunities for further enhancement.
The newly crafted tool is available to established hiring teams and prospective
organisations looking to improve their talent programs. The assessment, composed of
12 multiple choice questions, covers every part of the acquisition experience from
attracting quality candidates to technology capabilities and design thinking for future
road mapping.
“In the current global market, organizations in every region and sector are looking at
ways to streamline and strengthen their business processes – their talent programs are
no exception. This remote assessment enables talent acquisition leaders to get a
neutral analysis of their hiring program’s strengths, opportunities and a comparison to
how they are positioned to attract talent in the market against their competitors.”
This new online tool has been met with positive feedback from both customers and
prospects alike
Jay Eardly, Vice President of Program Management for Pontoon shares his feedback
from clients and the market:
“Leveraging our expertise in running global talent programs and being able to
benchmark against what good looks like allows our customers and prospects a unique
view on how their talent programs are doing. All of this with a few clicks in the comfort of
their home office – truly game-changing”

AMS is a global total workforce solutions firm founded in 1996. We enable organisations
to thrive in an age of constant change by building, re-shaping, and optimising
workforces.
Our Solutions
Contingent workers bring skills and flexibility critical to success. But attracting and
managing them can be complex and full of risk. Partner with us to maximise potential
and minimise problems.
Your ability to attract talent impacts the bottom line. Are you doing it as fast, efficiently
and cost-effectively as you can? As Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) market
leaders, we know how to design, build and manage the machine that will deliver the
best results for your business.
At AMS, we embed DE&I into all our RPO programmes. In fact, it’s one of the key ways
we help our clients achieve True Workforce Dexterity. So if you want to create a
genuinely diverse and inclusive hiring process, and make quantifiable, measurable
progress, let’s talk.
Company introduces workforce dexterity to allow companies to evolve their teams in the
ever-changing world of work
“The workforce has evolved; how businesses manage this change will be the difference
between success and stagnation,” said David Leigh, AMS chief executive officer. “Our
clients are building for the future, and this means being boundless and global. We are
helping them create workforces that are built faster, flex easily, and are quantified by
skills, not heads.”
Leigh continued, “We are proud of our heritage, having pioneered the Recruitment
Process Outsourcing (RPO) industry 25 years ago, evolving to add contingent and
advisory services, and today offering a total workforce solutions partner that integrates
all these pieces. We are now pioneering workforce dexterity. It’s what the market
demands and what companies need.”
The pace of technological and social change has accelerated, creating new challenges
for organizations managing their workforces. With the future uncertain and changing
quickly at the same time, companies need to design workforces differently. This led
AMS to develop workforce dexterity, an approach that allows companies to reconfigure
their workforce for every opportunity, equipping them to anticipate and pivot in the face
of change.
Based on its unique knowledge of the market, AMS understands that the workforce of
now mandates a seamless mix of permanent and contingent employees alongside
robots and technology. People are flexing by reskilling and upskilling in order to meet
rapidly shifting market and job demands. Consequently, AMS has built its concept of
workforce dexterity on four pillars:
Fluidity: bringing together a fluid mix of people, skills, and technology, with the
flexibility to power a business through tomorrow’s demands in real time
Diversity: a unique approach to combining a diversity of perspectives, skills,
experiences, and roles to accelerate innovation and success
Resilience: working to create a boundless organization, with a resilient
workforce of people and skills that can take on challenges, then evolve and thrive
in the face of uncertainty
Differentiation: beyond acquiring great people, extending capabilities with the
right programs and technology to reach beyond competitors
AMS and its clients are acutely aware of how technology is impacting human capital
and are at the forefront of thinking differently about how to respond to the new world of
work. AMS has added these key client insights to its own deep understanding of the
global skills economy, world-class technology, and keen analytics to deliver its new
global solutions.
The new visual identity of the AMS brand is represented in an algorithm-driven motion
graphic that captures the ebb and flow of today’s talent. A beautiful and data-driven
representation of how the workforce is changing, it reflects the fluidity, resiliency,
diversity, and differentiation of true workforce dexterity. These elements are reflected
throughout the new company website, www.WeAreAMS.com.

Cleveland – April 21, 2020 – Alexander Mann Solutions, the global leader in recruitment
process outsourcing and talent acquisition consulting services, has announced the
release of their first self-developed technology platform. Hourly by Alexander Mann
Solutions enables organizations to hire hourly workers faster and with greater precision
through a completely conversational experience from explore-to-offer, in a single built-
for-mobile solution.
“Today, we recognize organizations are operating with a high level of uncertainty about
the future of business and their people,” said David Leigh, CEO of Alexander Mann
Solutions. “We designed Hourly with an eye towards radically improving the candidate
experience for hourly job seekers, and now we’re seeing just how essential this part of
the paid workforce is to the economy. Innovation has always been core to our business,
and we take immense pride in launching Hourly as an enabling technology for
organizations beginning on a path to transform processes and rebuild their workforce
rapidly as we emerge into a new way of work in the coming months.”
The acquisition of Karen HR in 2019 served as a catalyst for the formation of the
Product Division at Alexander Mann Solutions. Prior to the acquisition, our teams had
identified distinct unmet needs within the high-volume hourly hiring market – a space
where functional gaps often result in barriers to practitioner efficiency and an optimal
candidate experience. The product division set out to leverage the unique talent
acquisition domain expertise across Alexander Mann Solutions to identify and close
these gaps with the design of their first product, Hourly. Highlights of the solution,
generally available in May 2020, include:
To maximize client success in a highly competitive market for talent, the Hourly offer
goes beyond technology alone to include a full programmatic media package combined
with implementation services and live support for a truly seamless candidate
experience.
“Research shows us that hourly workers feel neglected during the recruiting process
and organizations do not have the right technology to support their unique needs,”
stated Madeline Laurano, founder of Aptitude Research. “Hourly is providing a critical
solution to improve efficiency, communication, and the overall experience for the largest
segment of our paid workforce.”
We’re passionate about helping companies and individuals fulfil their potential through
talent acquisition and management. Today, over 4,500 of our talent acquisition and
management experts partner with more than 100 blue-chip organizations, operating in
40 languages, and over 90 countries. We deliver a distinctive blend of outsourcing
solutions, strategic talent consulting services and industry-leading technology. In
addition to wide-ranging HCM technology partnerships, Alexander Mann Solutions
enables a truly conversational hiring experience purpose-built for high-volume hourly
hiring with the first technology platform in their portfolio, Hourly by AMS. We provide
unrivalled experience, capability and thought leadership to help clients attract, engage
and retain the talent they need for business success. This approach has led to us being
ranked No. 1 in HRO Today’s RPO Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Survey for
two consecutive years. www.alexandermannsolutions.com

About NelsonHall
Alexander Mann Solutions provides services across the entire talent lifecycle–from
strategic workforce planning to assessment and selection to onboarding and employee
engagement. With ServiceNow, the company created a recruitment management
application that can be fully-integrated and customized by every client to automate the
talent acquisition process.
As part of its role in optimizing the talent lifecycle, Alexander Mann Solutions frequently
becomes the recruitment team within a client organisation, tasked with managing the
entire delivery as efficiently as possible, while providing a world-class experience to
candidates. However, the time-consuming nature of the recruitment process created big
challenges and inefficiencies.
Andrew Wayland, Chief Technology Officer at Alexander Mann Solutions, explains: “As
part of our service our global team manages more than 250,000 job interviews every
year. The scheduling process was extremely time consuming, with schedulers relying
on spreadsheets and manual processes to synchronise the numerous tasks in the
recruitment process—such as meeting room bookings and calendar invites—with client
systems.”
The company partnered with Spoc, a ServiceNow Gold Partner, to create a bespoke
recruitment application on the Now Platform®. It handles the entire process through
intelligent workflows and automation, from candidate application through to vetting,
interview scheduling all coordinated to the moment a candidate accepts and signs their
contract to start.
“ServiceNow was the perfect fit for our long-term strategy, providing the ideal backbone
to create applications that can run a critical business process for our clients,” comments
Andrew. “ServiceNow has enabled us to fully integrate with our clients’ organisations
and take their candidates on a recruitment journey that is bespoke to their brand and
approach.”
The app plays a key role in the shortlisting aspect of the recruitment process, pulling
details of the role and available interview timeslots into a responsive design website that
is client branded. Candidates can pick a time when they are available, which is
reconciled with everyone involved and the calendar systems they use. The workflow
books meeting spaces, parking spaces, and even recommends a nearby coffee shop.
The application includes a chatbot called HANA that provides information, supports
onboarding, and acts as a gateway to a live agent or facilitator.
“ServiceNow has allowed us to reduce this service from five to just two days on
average, with the current record being less than half an hour,” says Andrew.
Andrew explains: “Previously, the job of our schedulers was extremely dull and process-
driven. ServiceNow has transformed the way they work, opening up opportunities to
play a key role in developing our client services and the experiences we can offer
candidates. The team can focus on the key touchpoints that make a difference to our
clients and reassure candidates with a human touch when it is needed most.”
The clients of Alexander Mann Solutions are seeing the value in a fully-integrated,
customised, and branded recruitment platform
Alexander Mann Solutions’ clients recognise the value of a fully-integrated, customised,
and branded recruitment platform that improves their talent acquisition process and
integrates with ease with their internal IT systems.
The speed of implementation of the application into client sites is a key benefit. The lead
time to integrate into the client’s systems when starting the recruitment process has
dropped by 30%, with Alexander Mann Solutions delivering the application to clients in
8-10 weeks.
Alexander Mann Solutions has been fine-tuning and improving the application by adding
details such as a candidate portal for smartphones, text message reminders before an
interview, and profiles of interviewers. The results have been impressive, with 93% of
candidates reporting satisfaction with the recruitment process.
“The Now Platform is always learning, evolving processes across clients, and
measuring performance, and this is driving continuous improvement,” says Andrew. “As
the platform matures, its efficiency is increasing and the services we offer are becoming
more sophisticated.”
“We attend client pitches regularly, which was not the case in the past. We expected
clients to ask questions related to costs during those meetings but they fully understand
the benefits and see the technology as a way to augment their engagement with
candidates,” comments Andrew.
“IT is no longer seen as the team that is running infrastructure, but instead a facilitator of
strategic conversations,” Andrew adds.
IT is able to deliver strategic solutions that delivery real client outcomes and
expand our product set.
The IT team at Alexander Mann Solutions can already see opportunities develop the
recruitment application and expand its use to other processes. One of them is handling
the full onboarding process and another involves blending artificial intelligence with
talent acquisition to review CVs and automate other tasks.
“We see our future approach as ‘blended bots and bodies,’ with the aim to evolve the
client and candidate experience. This is not at the expense of headcount—it’s about
creating more interesting roles for our team and making their work life more rewarding,”
concludes Andrew.
YOH
We hire and train the best in the business to serve our customers and our consultants.
Making you successful is our #1 goal, whether you are working for us, or getting great
talent from us. Why Yoh? Yoh knows greater talent, that’s why.
Our solution allows us to offer our clients a more efficient end-to-end talent acquisition
process as sourcing and submission of qualified, vetted talent is done within minutes
and not days through our propriety technology platform and process. We drive
continuous candidate engagement and management for faster deployment of quality
candidates, which results in long-term retention of the best contingent and permanent
talent. Because we employ Direct Sourcing Teams as part of our solution, it enables us
to integrate quickly into your MSP or RPO Program in order to help you achieve total
talent optimization.
Yoh’s propriety technology stack leverages AI, machine learning and RPA to source,
deploy, onboard, manage and curate qualified talent.
ENTERPRISE RECRUITING
RECRUITING AT SCALE
Recruiting for larger, managed programs and multiple locations takes dedicated teams
of recruiters and high-performing suppliers to meet the demand. We’ve been there – we
manage big programs, so we know the value of a good staffing supply chain. Because
of this, Yoh’s approach is different for large MSP, VMS and corporate accounts where
we are part of a supply chain. We don’t rely on our outlying branch offices or other parts
of our business. Yoh’s enterprise recruiting team is dedicated being a top performing
supplier for high-volume, re-occurring positions, or hard-to-find specialty positions. We
are the kind of supplier we like to have in our programs.
VMS ENGAGEMENTS
We work with all the major VMS players and are familiar with the systems and
processes. Whether your self-manager or have a provider, we can plug-in to your
program and be a top-tier supplier of talent.
MSP PROGRAMS
Working within a managed services program comes naturally to us – because we run
programs too. So we know how to work and play nicely together. It’s a not-so-well-kept
secret that most major MSPs are suppliers to another MSP’s program.
MASTER SUPPLIER
When you need a main go-to supplier to ensure 100% requisition fulfillment, we
understand how important this is so we ensure our delivery model meets just that
expectation. We partner with you exclusively to deliver the talent you need and bring or
own proprietary technology to ensure speed of service and efficiency from sourcing to
onboarding.
Yoh’s strategically placed delivery hubs house recruiting teams providing service across
the US, UK and EU. Tap into Enterprise Recruiting done right.
Scalable: Through our service hubs we can scale up and down as needed to meet
fluctuating demands.
STEM Focus: Yoh’s heritage in recruiting is in technology and the sciences. We bring
that expertise to enterprise recruiting. We can recruit in many different areas, but many
companies rely on us for technical positions other suppliers can’t supply.
KPIs and Metrics: We work well with others and against others. Our goal is to be your
#1 supplier and we welcome key performance indicators and metrics that show how we
are doing.
Total Talent means different things to different organizations and requires a uniquely
configured solution to meet your specific needs. As a pioneer and established leader in
contingent and permanent talent outsourced solutions, Yoh's experience spans over 30
years helping clients with their talent needs. We helped design some of the first MSP
and RPO programs in the marketplace and have evolved our next generation solution
toward integrated total talent solutions. Trust us, it’s a lot easier if you have one process
or many processes coming through one managed services provider - and even easier
than doing it yourself! Contact us to learn how a total talent solutions program can help
you get your arms around all your workforce needs. Let a Yoh expert create a program
just for you that covers all of your contingent and permanent talent needs and truly
optimizes your workforce.
We can develop a managed services program uniquely configured and tailored to your
needs by expertly managing your contingent workforce supply chain or creating talent
communities just for you. Whether it’s contract workers, independent contractors, SOW
engagements, two suppliers or two hundred, we’ve got you covered.
We’re not into labels. Call it what you want – we like to call it YOUR program. But here
are a few of the typical ways we can work with you:
Vendor Neutral – Just like Switzerland, we manage and remain neutral to get you the
best talent from the best suppliers for your jobs wherever and whenever you need them.
We run the program for you and keep the peace. You get the best the marketplace has
to offer.
Hybrid – Sometimes you need a specialist, sometimes a generalist. We’ll make sure
your workforce needs are taken care of by our team, key suppliers or maybe even some
niche suppliers too. We create a talent community just for you that works for you.
Master Vendor – If you want to create a dedicated supply line without multiple suppliers
and complexity, we can design a program to deliver talent directly to you. And not
through branch offices. We have dedicated delivery teams with no other distractions.
We can develop a contingent workforce program for all your contract types, including
payrollees, independent contractors and SOW engagements, without sacrificing quality
while saving you money.
Unique Roadmap Design: We plan your program not just for today, but for your next
generation to ensure continuous evolution and innovation in your program to achieve
optimal results and value. And we help you get there which is why 87% of our clients
expand their services with us.
Knowledgeable Staff (Our People): Not just transactional, wait-to-be-asked staff. We
have proactive experts bringing best practices and executing on innovation and best-in-
class recommendations to consistently evolve your program .
Cost Savings: Are you missing out on savings opportunities through a decentralized
supply chain, rogue spend or misclassified SOW? Did you get a good deal on that
programmer? We’ll help you figure that out and plan for your future budget.
An Efficient Diverse Supply Chain: It takes a village to fill a job nowadays. You need
suppliers that can perform like a NASCAR pit crew. We’ll help make that happen.
Additionally, we will ensure to you meet your diversity spend goals. Our Managed
Services program portfolio boasts 30% diversity.
TECHNOLOGY
Everyone loves technology - when it works. Luckily for you, we have a diverse range of
experience, from integrating our own propriety technology stack to partnering with the
largest VMS providers in the world to other in-house options that make it easy to find
the right one for you. Have your own? We’ll plug in and make it work better. Looking for
one now? We can help you decide what will work best. And when it comes time to
implement, we have an experienced team that can’t wait to get their hands on your data
and put it to work for you. Talk to us about technology – we speak geek.
RPO programs can either replace the need for internal sourcing or recruiting, can
support or manage various points across recruitment lifecycle or can augment
resources already in place. This can be for all your jobs or in certain areas where you
have challenges or critical needs. An RPO provider can also help you get the most from
your investment in recruiting technology.
Do more with less, increase the quality of your talent, and keep costs in check with
RPO. Yoh knows recruiting.
TYPES OF RPO
There isn’t a one size fits all approach when it comes to RPO and contrary to popular
belief, RPO is not just the occasional permanent placement. An RPO partner brings
process, accountability, scaleability and innovation. There are several different types of
RPO programs, and with the help of a Yoh RPO expert, we can determine the type of
RPO to best suit your business recruitment needs. Here are a few of the most common:
Enterprise RPO: Recruiting from start to finish where entire recruitment process
is outsourced from requisition opening to offer or onboarding
Project RPO: Recruiting for a specific need, timeframe, location and/or skill set
Hybrid - Point of Service: Outsourcing recruitment points such as sourcing only
or offer administration help
Contingent RPO: Having a contingency of recruiters when you need them

Las Vegas, NV - Today Yoh HR Solutions, a comprehensive recruiting service for high-
impact professional talent, and GE Energy, one of the world's leading suppliers of power
generation and energy delivery technology, announced they will jointly present a
detailed case study that documents how GE Energy reduced HR management costs for
40,000 employees by $3 million annually.
This eye-opening case study on human resource simplification, titled "Taking the
Complexity Out of HR Simplification", will be presented at The Oracle Global HRIS SIG
2005 Spring Conference, held April 7-8, in Las Vegas. Presenters John Blowers,
Manager of HR Information Strategy for GE Energy, and Geoffrey Dubiski, Director of
Yoh HR Solutions, will describe how the revolutionary, centralized process was
established at no cost, and with no IT involvement.

world's leading providers of talent and outsourcing services to U.S. and U.K.
companies. Dubiski and his Yoh HR Solutions team operate GE Energy's Center of

Diamond Meeting Room 4 of the Aladdin Hotel.
"GE Energy turned to Yoh HR Solutions because they needed a customized process

process outsourcing solution that fit perfectly into GE Energy's Six Sigma culture. The

management costs while improving management quality. Our ability to manage our

This week, Yoh launched a new product offering, closely aligned to the project
management and talent management expertise of Day & Zimmermann. Known as
"DZConneX", the new offering is being marketed through Yoh Enterprise Solutions and
very soon will migrate to a brand shift as well. By the end of the year, Yoh's enterprise
offerings will go to market as DZConneX (DZX).
There are no changes organizationally at this time, and current customers will migrate
to the new brand over time depending on contract terms, renewals and services
provided. DZConneX will be a brand under Yoh group. Yoh's Specialty Practices
offering and strategic accounts staffing services, operated and marketed through its
branch offices around the country, will continue as Yoh.
The change to DZX is to provide a sophisticated Total Talent offering, enabled by
technology to the marketplace. Clients are increasingly looking at talent from a holistic
standpoint versus the historic segmented philosophy. They are seeking full visibility into
all of their workforce, permanent and contingent alike, in order to more strategically
leverage their most important asset – People. DZConneX positions the Yoh enterprise
business to capitalize on this and to leverage the history and expertise of D&Z.
The roll out coincides with the annual Staffing Industry Analysts' Contingent Workforce
Solutions (CWS) conference this week.

Candidate sourcing
But it isn’t easy. There are time zones to consider, language differences to overcome
and new cultural mindsets to learn and project.
Spotting and nurturing elite talent is 24/7 work. And if you go it alone, other business
priorities are likely to suffer.
Many senior executives need sourcing support to ensure they can remain focused on
other strategic business initiatives. They delight in knowing that extra sourcing power
can be turned higher or lower, depending on current business needs.
After pinpointing promising talent, sourcers shift to networking and relationship building.
Extensive career platforms and social networks give professionals at every level an
unprecedented understanding of the job market and new opportunities in their field—
even when they aren’t actively looking to change roles.
Through authentic communication and sustained engagement, sourcers build pools of
skilled talent who would consider the right opportunity offered by the right enterprise.
These deeply established connections give companies the edge in attracting the best
and brightest in their industry when mission-critical roles open, or hiring needs
accelerate.
Talent mapping: identifying and mapping skilled talent by role and industry
Active talent pooling: developing at-the-ready talent pools through professional network
building and timely communication
Compensation analysis: researching competitor compensation and perks, and
talent expectations to improve candidate engagement rates
Sourcing technology: using research and candidate management tools to
discover and engage quality candidates
Predictive analytics: tracking candidate behaviors that signal interest in
changing roles for greater outreach and candidate engagement
Global sourcing: language and local cultural fluency is a must when sourcing
regional talent for a global workforce
The sourcing toolbox is ever evolving. Highly effective sourcers adapt their strategies
and harness technology creatively to match the shifting demands of specific companies
and the global hiring market.
Sourcing and recruiting are both essential talent acquisition services leveraged at
different stages of the hiring process. Sourcing focuses on the top of the hiring funnel
and recruiting takes over once candidates are sourced for specific roles.
Strategic sourcers create talent pipelines, research competitor workforces and industry-
specific compensation packages, and communicate skillfully with professionals who
have limited bandwidth and are not actively seeking other opportunities.
In the past, there was significant overlap between sourcing and recruiting, and in many
instances the recruiter managed sourcing. Today, however, sourcing has evolved into a
specialty that requires a distinct blend of interpersonal, technical, and research skills.
Employer branding
Of course, you may well view your organisation as a great place to work, with a vibrant
culture, opportunities for growth, exceptional benefits and more. But do candidates see
this? Perhaps not. Ensure that story gets told to the right audience by projecting the
merits of your workplace though an appealing, accessible, and authentic employee
value proposition (EVP). Your EVP is key to drawing and retaining top talent in any
industry.
Hudson RPO’s employer branding experts help you optimise your candidate and
employee communications across all touch points: from your careers site, to your social
media strategy, to your job fair presence.
The definition of employer branding
Employer branding is a recruitment strategy that clarifies and shares the values,
workplace culture, and business goals of a company.
Authenticity. Build your employer brand on input from your existing employees.
Industry and regional focus. What matters most to talent varies across sectors
and regions.
Alignment with your company brand. A clear connection between your
employer brand and customer brand supports authenticity.
Accessibility. Your employer brand should be easy to find through your career
website, marketing, and social platforms.
Actionable analysis. Track the results of your employer brand so you can adjust
and improve.
You can dissect a variety of insights, and explore how they could affect team dynamics.
That’s just the start.
Discover how the right tech can transform the talent space
The right technology toolset helps you focus even more on building and nurturing great
relationships.
Technology can automate and optimise individual components, or even the entirety, of
your selection process.
Chatbots can help you increase conversion rates in the application funnel.
You can also use predictive analytics to anticipate market trends. Gain deeper
understanding of personal behavior and communication styles. Explore a variety of
insights and how they might affect team dynamics.
But to achieve the best results from your technology, you need a partner who will first
map your organisational needs, and then map the technology to your needs. An off-the-
shelf technology bundle is not the answer, because nobody enjoys paying for unwanted
extras.
Today’s recruitment technologies can do amazing things for talent acquisition. Get good
advice in choosing the most relevant and helpful solutions to support your organisation’s
strategy.
You’ll discover more value by selecting from a suite of technology solutions, including:
Whether you want a comprehensive, permanent solution, or simply need to bridge gaps
in your existing recruitment platforms, the InGenium offering flexes to fit your
requirements.

Hudson RPO’s talent acquisition experts help companies understand what is working

in the hiring funnel?
Following the analysis phase, your recruitment consulting partner recommends targeted
strategies to correct issues and seize opportunities.

Although the relationship between the two organizations dates back to the mid-1990s,
the launch of Siemens’ formal Military Talent Program through Orion Talent began in
June 2010 and has evolved into an award-winning collaboration to help transitioning
U.S. military veterans thrive in the civilian workforce. The nationwide program
standardizes and sustains the four key areas most critical to the success of military
hiring efforts: targeted, proactive engagement of potential military candidates;
comprehensive, engaging onboarding; talent upskilling; and engagement from day one.
To date, the carefully crafted program has resulted in a continuous pipeline of high
caliber military talent and a retention rate that far surpasses the market norm.
Since launching its military hiring program, Siemens has recruited nearly 4,000 service
members from all four branches of the U.S. Military: Air Force, Navy, Army, and Marine
Corps. With many positions requiring a STEM (science, technology, engineering,
mathematics) education or corresponding military background, veterans join Siemens in
a range of roles – from corporate leadership to project management, manufacturing,
running automation systems, and helping customers deploy next-generation power
systems.
Siemens also offers a job training initiative to develop digital skills for veterans with
engineering and manufacturing backgrounds as part of its broader effort to assist
transitioning veterans. With demand far exceeding the supply of qualified technology
talent, training veterans in STEM skills is critical to meet the needs of the private sector
workforce as well as those of veterans returning to civilian life. Approximately 500
veterans have elected to use this resource since 2013.
"All companies have a responsibility to help veterans transition successfully into the
civilian workforce and to live the American dream they bravely defended. But ultimately,
the veterans we hire are helping us,” said Siemens USA CEO Barbara Humpton. "Our
partnership with Orion Talent has helped us to take a proactive approach to hiring men
and women who have strong technical training and natural leadership qualities that add
tremendous value to our business."
For its efforts to hire military veterans, Siemens received the Gold HIRE Vets Medallion
Award in 2019 from the United States Department of Labor and was named to the U.S.
Veterans Magazine Best of the Best list in 2019. Siemens has committed to hire an
additional 300 veterans annually over the next several years.

The biggest advantage comes from the ability to connect you with the top talent
at the right time
More and more organisations are turning to RPO solutions to support their talent
acquisition efforts, and it’s easy to see why. The world of talent acquisition has
increased in complexity, and many are finding it hard to keep up.
As competition for in-demand skills increases, the potential sources and channels for
engagement have also evolved and expanded. In this time the RPO market has
become one of the fastest-growing outsourcing markets in the world, with a double-digit
growth rate over the past several years. Organisations are realising to keep them
focused on their own core capabilities, they need to leverage advance recruiting
technology, process and expertise.
Expert talent delivery with employer value proposition (EVP) and employer brand
development to address sourcing challenges
SourceRight Solutions and Hays plc are teaming up to offer talent acquisition solutions
clients around the globe, including in the U.S, Canada, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
“The global talent landscape has become more diverse, and it is increasingly important
for companies to more narrowly define who they are trying to attract to their
organization,” said Rebecca Callahan, president of SourceRight Solutions. “Our
partnership with Hays is designed to help companies identify their specific talent needs
and find the most qualified employees across an extensive range of geographies,
industries and positions.”
SourceRight and Hays will deliver a range of recruitment solutions, including recruitment
process outsourcing (RPO), managed service programs (MSP), and professional
contingent workforce services. The alliance will offer dedicated account teams
comprised of more than 4,500 recruiters worldwide who provide deep experience
across industries and job types.
“As markets around the world recover, multi-national companies are increasingly
looking for recruiting experts to support them across borders, helping them find the
quality people they need to build their own business in every country within which they
operate,” said Alistair Cox, CEO of Hays plc. “Our decision to partner with SourceRight
Solutions allows us to meet those needs. This alliance gives our clients access to the
world’s largest network of expert recruiters, operating across all major countries and
delivered in a seamless and joined up fashion.”
Bill Grubbs, executive vice president, SFN Group, Inc., added: “The alliance with Hays
underscores our commitment to providing companies around the world with the most
comprehensive and reliable recruitment offerings during a time when the labor market is
undergoing significant shifts.”
Mindy Aiello, global talent acquisition manager at JDSU, a leading international provider
of broadband and optical innovation, commented on the alliance: “Through this global
alliance, we will be able to leverage our U.S.-based RPO/MSP model to drive recruiting
efficiencies across our global operations. The combined expertise and resources of
Hays and SourceRight will deliver significant value to our business by providing access
to the largest network of professional skilled labor in the market.”
Efficiency remains our overriding goal. We estimate that 1% gained via productivity is
worth c.£8m to Hays’ operating profit, and productivity drove c.40% of Group profit
growth between 2013-18. We have sector-leading technology, both via internally
developed tools and collaborations with leading third parties. Our expert Hays
Innovation team is tasked with assessing the technology landscape, identifying new
trends, opportunities and threats and building relationships with key players.
In FY18, we made excellent progress, notably with the roll-out of our ‘SalesPlanner’.
and ‘WiP’ tools, further development of the Hays Hub, and our collaborations
with Google, Mya and Stack Overflow.
Connectivity relates to the many and evolving ways clients and candidates interact
with Hays. Central to our philosophy is recognising and quickly responding to these
trends, allowing us to cultivate, deepen and enrich our candidate talent pools.
Increasingly, technology enables us to anticipate clients’ demands before they arise.
We received 10.6m job applications in FY18. To avoid diseconomies of scale, our
consultants need to be equipped with the best technological tools to search this
complex and ever-increasing bank of data.
Sifting through huge quantities of candidate data is relatively simple. The harder part is
accurately predicting Approachability, identifying which candidates are likely
to respond positively to our direct approach.
This index is currently fully functional for just over half our businesses, and due to be
completely available across the Group by early 2019. Our system uses many inputs and
algorithms to gauge how open to an approach a potential candidate is likely to be. By
understanding approachability signals, our ability to convert ostensibly passive
candidates into active is significantly increased. Once overlaid with a trusted Hays
consultant relationship, we gain a vital competitive edge.
Our content engagement tools are also built to nurture strong candidate relationships by
providing highly relevant industry, salary and training insights. Our implementation of
Salesforce Marketing Cloud further enhances this engagement capability. We continue
to generate significant value from our partnerships with Google, LinkedIn, SEEK and
Xing. These allow us to analyse complex user data in real time, gaining invaluable
insight into candidates’ skills and career ambitions.
Technology and a candidate’s path
Our technology helps us to power the world of work, and find the best candidates for a
role, faster than our competition. The chart below represents the process of interaction
between our active candidate pool, passive candidates and our client base, as we seek
to find ‘great-rather-than-good’ matches between the two. Candidates are added to the
Hays database via our expert consultant network, and via external sources like Xing,
LinkedIn, a wide array of job boards, or directly via the Hays website. Once in our
ecosystem, we work hard to ensure the talent pool remains highly engaged, using
content such as Hays’ Salary Guide and Journals, training and career advice plus our
regular blogs and podcasts. The Hays Approachability Index gives us the proprietary
ability to access candidates who may otherwise appear to be ‘passive’. This is a major
competitive advantage versus peers, and also a compelling reason for clients to
outsource to Hays.
BOC takes on Hays Talent Solutions for contract across ANZ and NZ.
Hays Talent Solutions has been appointed by BOC as its new national Recruitment
Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner. The appointment followed a competitive selection
process and sees Hays Talent Solutions manage all permanent roles and fixed-term
contracts for BOC and ElGas across Australia and New Zealand.
The dedicated Hays Talent Solutions team have been embedded onsite at BOC’s
offices in North Ryde to handle the talent acquisition process. Hays Talent Solutions
has implemented JobAdder as the new applicant tracking system (ATS).
Approximately 350 permanent roles will be delivered annually through the RPO solution,
including within sales and marketing, customer engagement, engineering, head office
and gas manufacturing and distribution.
“We’re thrilled to be appointed by BOC to bring the right person at the right time to each
role,” says Shane Little, managing director of Hays Talent Solutions in APAC. “We have
a very clear remit from our client and a really collaborative partnership.
“We’ll work closely with BOC’s hiring managers to provide all the benefits and expertise
of a company whose sole business is accessing the best talent,” he added. “We are
excited to have JobAdder at the core of our technology stack and this allows us to
continually improve the candidate experience by harnessing the best emerging
technologies.”
The study conducted by Oxford Economics and SAP Fieldglass last year highlighted the
significant reliance of many organisations on the external workforce, including
contingent workers and service providers, in helping organisations achieve a broad
range of business goals. More importantly, the study has revealed the critical need for
companies to better manage this sizable workforce to maximise value and minimise
risk.
“The goal has always been to improve CBA’s access to the best contingent talent in the
marketplace and the hard work of the last 12 months has laid the foundations to truly
differentiate the bank as an employer of choice for this increasingly important
demographic.”
“It’s been fantastic sharing the experience with CBA and we look forward to the next
stage of the partnership and building on the achievements to date,” she added.
Project Flex
‘Project Flex’ is implemented by Hays Talent Solutions and is recognised as “the largest
managed service program in Australia”. The contractor hub leverages SAP technologies
including SAP Ariba, a cloud-based marketplace for business-to-business transactions,
and SAP Fieldglass, a cloud-based, open Vendor Management System (VMS).
Aside from providing CBA with clear visibility on total contractor tenure, the new
contractor hub has also standardised screening process for all non-payroll workers. The
hub has significantly increased the number of contractors engaged through a panel of
preferred suppliers from around 75% to over 99%. It has also allowed different parts of
the organisation to “self-serve” access to contract resources.
Now with a consistent process to engage with approved suppliers on fixed rates, CBA is
able to attract talent efficiently through a digitised selection and approval process. The
solution is also able to improve contractor productivity by reducing the onboarding
period.
“Our contractors are an important part of our workforce and Fieldglass provides them
with a significantly improved time-sheeting, payroll, and support experience.”
Explaining how the hub is enabling CBA to reduce costs, Wharton said:
“Streamlining our payroll and insurance fees through using a single hub means we are
not only helping to simplify the bank, we are also contributing to reducing Group costs.”
According to a CBA spokesperson, in cases where the bank needs access for short-
term expertise, they use a contractor panel solution backed by SAP technology that can
connect CBA to contractors.

technology-enabled workforce solutions designed to deliver on the promise of Total
