Akken™ and Hireability™ Integrate Social Networking with Powerful Staffing and Recruiting Software
Executives from both companies say the union of staffing and recruiting software with social networking breaks new ground in the features and tools available to recruiters and staffing professionals.
Nashua, NH - March 31, 2008 - Today, Akken (www.akken.com), the all-in-one On Demand staffing and recruiting software provider and HireAbility.com (www.hireability.com), the leader in recruiter networking technologies, announced their agreement to integrate Akken Staffing™ and HireAbility’s Recruiter Network.
With the agreement, Akken customers will have a seamless login to enter HireAbility’s Recruiter Network directly from Akken Staffing. Once in HireAbility.com’s network, Akken customers can easily network with thousands of staffing firms, recruiters, potential business partners, networking contacts, and industry experts. Additionally, Akken users can maintain detailed member profiles, enter discussion groups, and access a myriad of special discount offers on various job boards and recruiting tools under HireAbility.com’s member discounts program.
“The integration of Hireability's Recruiter Network offers tremendous growth opportunities for all Akken Staffing customers" said Tim Quirk, Vice President of Marketing at Akken. "Having already partnered with Hireability for our resume processing needs, this is a natural extension to provide the best social networking and split placement tools available to our growing user base.”
A critical business function of the integration allows Akken users the option of posting job orders or candidates directly from Akken Staffing into the split placement exchange within HireAbility.com’s Recruiter Network. By allowing them to share job and candidate data in a fully-secure format, Akken is providing the means for users to locate jobs for their unplaced candidates, as well as generate split placement revenue on client job orders that otherwise would go unfilled.
“Historically, staffing professionals utilized an applicant tracking product to manage their internal processes and communicate with peers in their own organization” said Andrew Stock, Director of Sales and Marketing from HireAbility.com. “However, this integration breaks new ground by tearing down the traditional barriers and allowing cross communication and collaboration between staffing professionals.”
“This is a very exciting partnership for us,” said Craig Silverman, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at HireAbility.com. “Our Recruiter Network is driven by cutting-edge technology used to unite thousands of recuiters, so being able to integrate such a well-known and trusted ATS product from Akken makes us even more powerful.”
