Nashua, NH – July 9, 2009 -
Akken (www.akken.com), provider of the first All-in-One, on demand staffing and recruiting software, today unveiled the industry's most powerful Instant Social Media Search, allowing users to search candidates and contacts on more than 40 social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Myspace and Twitter in real time, without ever leaving their All-in-One staffing software. Instant Social Media Search saves sales and recruiting staff hours of manual work, increasing productivity throughout the entire sales, sourcing and recruiting process while giving staff the strategic, personal information needed to win new business and supplement background checks.
"There has been an explosion of social media use in staffing and recruiting firms, but up until now there has not been an efficient way to search these networks collectively" said Giridhar Akkineni, President and CEO of Akken. "With new social networks added every day, the process of finding relevant information about people has become cumbersome. Akken's social media search solves this problem, instantly providing sales and recruiting staff with deep information to engage people on a personal level and close more business. This is just one of many innovations Akken is unveiling in the second half of 2009 that provide tremendous value and immediate results to our growing customer base."
