Social Portal – The Living Database

Any portal, whether you’re using portals as a careers site, microsites, or landing pages, now allows candidates to register using their social profile from LinkedIn, Facebook, or Google+.  And we’re planning to add Xing and Viadeo shortly.  The candidate selects which social profile they want to use by selecting that sites favicon (the little icons for Facebook, LinkedIn, and G+ shown above).  That prompts the candidate to authenticate with their username and password for the social site and grant permission to access certain elements of their profile – contact information, updates, etc.  Once completed, the candidate then completes any other information you want to capture from them in the form (e.g. years of experience, areas of interest, locations of interest, resume upload, etc.).  They click submit and they are now in your Avature database.  The beauty of this however is that now you can view their social profile inside the Avature system on their record – and you’re always viewing their most recent information.  Additionally, if the candidate updates any of their information on their social profile on LinkedIn, Facebook, or G+ we record that in the Journal on their record.

Mobile Portals

Mobile is probably the hottest topic in recruiting today (along with social).  The world of talent acquisition, and rightly so, is scrambling to make their web content – i.e. careers sites – mobile friendly.  No need to list the reasons why here as there are plenty of data to back that up – it’s simply where more and more of the world is doing their browsing.  With Avature, any portal you have can be made in a mobile friendly version – your careers site, microsites, or landing pages.  And by any portal, we mean any portal.

If you’re interested in hearing more about these two portal options – for any of your existing Avature portals or if you’re new to Avature – please email sales@avature.net.

On June 21, 2011, Jobs2web and Avature announced their joint partnership and integration to allow interoperability between their Jobs2web’s Recruitment Marketing Platform (RMP) and Avature’s CRM Web 2.0 solution. As part of the 3.0 release of Jobs2web’s RMP, and ongoing development at Avature, both vendors worked together to coordinate the release of this integration and overall announcement of the partnership designed to benefit joint clients.

“This integration gives our clients a winning formula, says Dimitri Boylan, CEO of Avature. “When using both solutions with the new integration, clients will be able to not only insure they are measuring and optimizing source channel effectiveness, creating and maintaining a compelling candidate experience but also managing and nurturing various combinations of candidate profiles and individuals on a 1:1 or 1:many basis.”

This gives recruiters the best that state of the art in recruitment marketing has to offer. It combines the power of Jobs2web’s source tracking and optimization with Avature’s deep pedigree in how individual candidates are managed, nurtured and prompted through the hiring process.

“In many ways, it’s been our joint client base that has most heavily promoted our development of this integration,” says Ken Holec, CEO of Jobs2web. “Our joint clients have been very vocal about the value that these tools can create together and we’re very happy to include this integration in the 3.0 release.”

The partnership and technical integration between the two solutions was exhibited at Collaborate – Jobs2web’s second annual Users Conference in Bloomington, MN.

SOURCE Avature

Mit der Version 4.3, bietet die Avature CRM zahlreiche neue Features und Verbesserungen. Zu den wichtigsten, neuen Funktionen der Avature CRM zählen das neue Dashboard, welches Ihnen einen Überblick über alle wichtigen Informationen schaffen soll. Des Weiteren wurden neue Parsing-Eigenschaften hinzugefügt. Unter Anderem wurden die Sprachen Schwedisch und Holländisch hinzugefügt. Lebensläufe können nun in allen wichtigen Sprachen erkannt und erfasst werden. Zusätzliche Verbesserungen sind ohne Zweifel die Möglichkeit Emails als PlainText zu versenden sowie die neuen Tabellenfunktionen.

Dieses neue Release ist nun die 3 Softwareaktualisierung binnen einem Monat. Das Unternehmen legt großen Wert auf Flexibilität und Kundenzufriedenheit. «Wir versuchen daher immer auf die Wünsche unserer Kunden, so schnell wie möglich einzugehen», so Dimitri Boyland, Geschäftsführer und Eigentümer von Avature. «Als webbasierte Lösung, können wir Produktverbesserungen natürlich einfacher und schneller an den Kunden weitergeben, als dies bei serverinstallierten Lösungen der Fall ist». Gerade für mittelständische und kleinere Unternehmen ist dies natürlich von großem Vorteil, da große Einrichtungs- und Unterhaltskosten entfallen und sie mit den automatischen Softwareaktualisierungen immer auf dem neuesten Stand bleiben.

Nach einer Studie der Universität Bamberg, kommen mittlerweile über 40 Prozent der Neueinstellungen in deutschen Mittelstandsfirmen über die eigene Unternehmens-Webseite und Online Stellenbörsen zustande. Aufgrund dieser Tatsache ist es natürlich von besonderer Bedeutung diese neuen Informationskanäle zu optimieren. Dies ist genau der Kernbereich der Avature CRM. Der Fokus liegt auf den webbasierte Stellenbörsen und sozialen Netzwerken. Die Möglichkeit des intelligenten Email-Managements und der Erstellung bzw. der Verwendung von Arbeitsabläufen/Workflows, runden das Angebot ab.

Persbericht van: TelecityGroup

Amsterdam, woensdag 28 oktober 2009 – Avature, Amerikaanse leverancier van Web 2.0 Human Capital Management software, brengt zijn softwarediensten voor Europa, Midden-Oosten en Afrika onder bij TelecityGroup Nederland. Avature is de nieuwe onderneming van Dimitri Boylan, voormalig medeoprichter en CEO van HotJobs.com, een van de grootste vacaturesites van de Verenigde Staten, die in 2002 werd gekocht door Yahoo. Avature koos voor het TelecityGroup Amstel Business Park datacenter vanwege de strenge beveiliging, uitstekende connectiviteit en hoge efficiëntie.

Het datacenter, dat voldoet aan de strengste internationale databeveiligingsnormen en beschikt over het ISO 270001 certificaat, gaat de Recruiting CRM-services verzorgen voor een aantal bestaande multinationale cliënten, waaronder enkele in de regio gevestigde grote werving- en selectiebureaus.

De door TelecityGroup aangeboden IP Multihome service biedt connectiviteit aan via diverse Tier 1-netwerkaanbieders en zes Europese Internet Exchanges. Daardoor is de beschikbaarheid hoog en bedraagt de reactietijd voor Avature CRM-applicaties op het continent minder dan een seconde. Als een van de energiezuinigste datacenters van Europa, met een vermogensdichtheid die tweemaal zo hoog is als het gemiddelde in de sector faciliteert Amstel Business Park een kosteneffectieve uitbreiding van Avatures activiteiten in de regio.

“We waren weliswaar genoodzaakt om onze hostingcapaciteit uit te breiden,” aldus CEO Dimitri Boylan van Avature, “maar we zetten ook weer een stapje op weg naar een milieubewustere manier om in onze rekencapaciteit te voorzien. Als aanbieder van SaaS benutten we onze servers beter en verwerken we meer informatie per verbruikte kilowatt dan de meeste systemen in interne datacenters. We zijn dan ook erg onder de indruk van de energiezuinigheid van het Amstel Business Park datacenter.”

Directeur Alexandra Schless van TelecityGroup Nederland voegt hieraan toe: “TelecityGroup datacenters krijgen keer op keer de voorkeur van toonaangevende Amerikaanse bedrijven, die hun activiteiten naar Europa willen uitbreiden. Avature heeft een uitstekende reputatie wat betreft het leveren van diensten via het internet. We vinden het dan ook een voorrecht om een cruciale rol te kunnen spelen in het ondersteunen van hun internationale expansie door het hosten en beheren van hun infrastructuur in onze robuuste en veilige Amstel Business Park datacenter.”
