Revolutionary Sourcing Products Partner Drastically Shifting the Recruiting Landscape
TalentDrive and InterActive Applicant Partner Offering Advanced Search and Video Interviewing Capabilities
Chicago, IL
TalentDrive and InterActive Applicant’s combined technology offers clients highly qualified resumes coupled with an on-demand audio, video and text screening component. This combined product offering is ground-breaking. It offers clients the ability to first source for resumes by utilizing TalentFilter’s search of 11,000 web locations and advanced matching of resumes to job positions created by the user. Then an invite is sent to the job seeker requesting audio, webcam video and/or text answers to job-specific interview questions. InterActive ApplicantTM allows employers to bring the resume to life by utilizing the multimedia screening capabilities. By offering these pre-recorded candidate responses, clients are able to view more applicants quickly and efficiently, allowing them to cost-effectively consider increased numbers of candidates (from both local and non-local geographies) and ensure only top talent is scheduled for first interviews, improving ROI for recruiting.
“We are very excited about this partnership. Combining improved sourcing and multimedia pre-screening technologies will create a new gold standard in recruitment efficiency. It’s a powerful combination that will be adopted by clients eager to attract top talent and also save time and money in the process”, Liam O’Leary, Director of Business Development, InterActive Applicant.
By leveraging the technologically savvy behaviors of today’s society, TalentDrive and InterActive ApplicantTM (www.interactiveapplicant.com) are able to offer recruiters a solution that acknowledges the fact that “more and more of us are getting information and education from video, rather than from words – whether in print or online,” quote from Kevin Wheeler, author of “Video is About to Become King- Are You Ready?”. With almost all computers, both PC and Mac, boasting video capacities, this partnership predicts the needs of recruiters in 2009 and offers a solution that is OFCCP compliant. The product will be available in January 2009. Deep discounts will be recognized when purchased in combination.
“This partnership is like bread and butter—a truly integrated solution for recruiters. We are now able to offer clients a technology that yields a pre-screened interview without one phone call by leveraging advanced searching, scoring, ranking and video animation. The partnership of these two advanced technologies is revolutionary and will change the dynamics of sourcing candidates and the overall recruiting landscape,” Sean Bisceglia, CEO TalentDrive.
