Headhunter.Net
Offers Best-Of-Breed In Applicant Tracking Systems.
October 10th, 2000 (ATLANTA) -- After conducting a thorough market
analysis and carefully examining the Human Resource Applicant
Tracking Systems (ATS) industry, online recruiting site Headhunter.net
(NASDAQ: HHNT), announced today its decision to form strategic
partnerships with not just one, but several of the leading national
players in the highly-fragmented industry. As a result, Headhunter.net
clients can select from a range of ATS providers and eRecruiting
solutions to find a comprehensive solution to their HR needs.
Rather
than contribute to the race to control the market or essentially,
own the desktop, Headhunter.net
opted to form strategic partnerships with several of the key industry
leaders.With these initial nine Certified Partners, Headhunter.net
will have direct access to the largest ATS and eRecruiting customer
base to date, more than two thousand customers combined.
Our
primary goal is to provide our customers with tools to make job
posting easier, more thorough and very accurate, said Bob
Montgomery, President and CEO of Headhunter.net. Conducting
this open systems business style with numerous partners
allows Headhunter.net to implement and successfully execute a
strategy that generates both faster and more cost-effective access
to the desktop of recruiters in the country.
The
sites chosen to launch Headhunter.nets Certified Partners
program are leading Applications Services Providers (ASP) in the
eRecruiting marketplace including:
Headhunter.nets corporate clients now have more options
to choose an ATS/eRecruiting provider which best fits their organizational
needs. Additionally, superior customer services provide the detailed
support HR recruiters need to manage an entire range of recruitment
activities. Activities include posting jobs real time on Headhunter.net,
with a 95% success rate and fewer posting errors, managing both
the large influx of resumes received and interview schedules and
making comments on applications.
Rather
than choosing sides by picking one vendor, or ATS/ eRecruiting
provider, were open to partnering with several, allowing
us to offer an entire suite of services, continued Montgomery.
Not to mention, at the same time were afforded access
to the thousands of customers these ATS/eRecruiting providers
serve. Clearly, in this case it made more sense to partner with
several Certified Partners than put our money behind just one.
Assuring
compatibility, Headhunter.net and the Certified Partners will
work simultaneously to seamlessly integrate their job posting
and HR management platforms.
