New Guides Provide Independent Comparisons of Applicant Tracking Systems and Staffing Front Office Leaders

Published: 9/1/2008

Personified, the talent management and consulting subsidiary of CareerBuilder.com, has released a new Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) guide and a Staffing Industry Front Office guide to help employers navigate the ever-changing world of recruitment technology. The guides provide unbiased, side-by-side comparisons of ATS and Staffing Technology functionality. 

"Many organizations receive hundreds or even thousands of resumes a day, and applicant tracking systems play a critical role in helping them organize and streamline their recruiting efforts," said Mary Delaney, President of
Personified. "With so many ATS options out there and with technology constantly changing, Personified´s guides provide a neutral and thorough analysis of industry leaders to help organizations find the right system for their unique hiring needs."

Personified´s ATS guide for employers, titled "Applicant Tracking Systems Guide 2008" profiles 26 of the top ATS vendors, and includes information on company facts, major clients, financial overview, service differentiators and
detailed solutions descriptions. The "Staffing Front Office Guide" offers the same details on 17 different staffing-specific systems.

In addition, both guides provide easy-to-read summary charts of the different systems that allow for direct comparisons of recruitment technology vendors.

Employers and staffing firms can clearly see a detailed breakdown of each vendor´s talent management capabilities, external job board distribution, third-party screening integration and internationalization, including language services offered.

Not only do Personified´s guides provide information on numerous vendors, but the guides also offer product comparisons on Aggregators and Candidate Sourcing tools that can operate as standalone software or be combined with an ATS system.

"More than one-third (34 percent) of employers currently have open positions for which they can´t find qualified candidates, according to a recent Personified survey," said Delaney. "With a shortage of qualified talent out there, the ability to effectively and efficiently implement the right ATS can help enhance an organization´s talent pipeline."

Organizations can reach Personified to find out more information and purchase the ATS Guide 2008 and Staffing Front Office Guide 2008 at http://www.personified.com/ATSguide.html or by calling 800-610-8790.
