Talent Rover Launches Client and Candidate Communities
-- Built on Salesforce's Community Cloud, Communities allow staffing/recruitment firms to collaborate with their clients and candidates and provide service more efficiently
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Talent Rover, provider of cloud-based software built for managing the entire staffing and recruitment workflow, today announced Client and Candidate Communities, a new collaboration and business process platform built on the Salesforce Community Cloud. Talent Rover customers can now integrate their website, social media and portals into a single experience designed to streamline recruitment processes, increase placements, foster relationships and improve marketing efforts.
The Client Community is a collaboration site where hiring managers can get hands-on in the recruitment process. They are able to search candidates, view their resumes and references, see performance ratings given by other companies, request interviews, request to make an offer, reject candidates and provide feedback to the firm. Moreover, clients can see a candidate's history pertaining to their own business (e.g. past interviews, rejections, etc.). Lastly, clients can review invoices and expense reports, complete timesheets and view any data and analytics that the firm wishes to share.
The Client Community also introduces two important social functions. First, clients can rate and recognize temporary staff with badges so that other clients – and the staffing firm – are able to make more informed decisions. Second, clients can start and participate in group discussions. By giving clients a forum to raise business challenges, the firm can discover unmet needs and develop new services and marketing content accordingly.
In the Candidate Community, candidates can update their resume and profile, complete compliance documents and access new hire forms. They can also network with fellow candidates, review open jobs and flag their interest in specific openings. Group discussions also provide insight that recruitment firms can use to create marketing content targeted at potential and existing candidates.
Built with a responsive design, the Client and Candidate Communities are easy-to-use on a computer or mobile device. For staffing and recruitment firms, the Communities eliminate paperwork, boost engagement with their audience and ultimately empower firms to personalize their marketing content. By fostering community around discussions and 'gamification' (i.e. ratings and badges for candidates and clients), the Communities keep the firm top of mind and accessible. Talent Rover firms can custom brand their Communities and control what content each member is able to access.
"Client and Candidate Communities blend the best of social technology, portals and a firm's website into one seamless platform," said Brandon Metcalf, Founder and COO of Talent Rover. "We see this as a powerful way to continue to modernize the industry. Communities invite clients and candidates into the Talent Rover experience while simultaneously reducing busywork and collecting powerful data. The extra transparency and collaboration will benefit everyone in the recruitment ecosystem."
Talent Rover will debut Communities on March 18th, during Metcalf's one hour presentation, "Tired of Being Tied Down by Your Mouse?", at the Staffing Industry Analysts Executive Forum Conference in Orlando, Florida.
