David SmookeWhat a year 2011 has been! Since our launch at the end of August, SmartRecruiters has continued to release integrative and in demand sourcing functionality. In our quest to be easy, smart, social, open (and entirely free), here is:
The Countdown of the 5 Best Hiring Made Easy Features:
Based on the job boards chosen, the sourcing indicator considers your job, industry, function, level, and location in order to give the percentage chance that you will get enough good qualified candidates to make a hire. This real time data driven approach will help you find the needle in the haystack (while searching through less hay). This feature is still in beta, but SmartRecruiters is thrilled about its potential to find you great candidates from right places.
“We are excited for the growth and data driven direction of the sourcing indicator,” says CEO Jerome Ternynck. “As they say, ‘In God we trust. All others bring data.’ ”
