Headhunter.net’s 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, we’re open to partnering with several, allowing us to offer an entire suite of services,” continued Montgomery. “Not to mention, at the same time we’re 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.
