Human Resources: Cytiva Announces New SonicRecruit Features and Participation in Industry Reports at SHRM Conference

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) June 23, 2007 -- Cytiva Software Inc. (CRX:TSX.V), a leading provider of on-demand recruiting software solutions, announced today several new enhancements to its flagship recruiting system.

Announced at the 59th annual Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas, these new enhancements strengthen SonicRecruit’s ability to streamline the recruiting process and help companies increase the quality and timeliness of their hiring efforts.

According to Kevin Martin, Research Director, Human Capital Management at Aberdeen Group, "the top challenge that companies face when it comes to employees is "finding the right talent when needed." SonicRecruit’s newly announced enhancements aim to help companies meet that challenge and increase their ability to find and fire great talent.

SonicRecruit’s new conceptual search capability helps organizations more effectively and intuitively mine their pool of existing candidates to hone in on appropriate matches when new job requisitions are opened. With SonicRecruit’s deeper integration with Microsoft Outlook, recruiters can use this familiar interface to maintain contact with attractive candidates so that they can tap into their skills the minute positions become available.

Finally, new candidate self-scheduling capabilities will make it easier to bring candidates and hiring managers together, speeding the time to interview and helping to ensure that SonicRecruit clients don’t lose attractive candidates to delays and complications in scheduling interviews. Managers and recruiters will be able to publish their schedules and candidates can then quickly and easily choose open slots online to schedule interviews.

"For many SonicRecruit clients needing specialized skill sets, the impending talent shortage is already here in a big way," said Jason Moreau, CEO of Cytiva. "The ability to more quickly locate, communicate with, and hire top talent is a key requirement and these new features will ensure SonicRecruit clients can easily find the right talent when needed."

In addition to the new features being announced at the June 2007 SHRM Conference, SonicRecruit is also pleased to announce its involvement in several important new industry reports. SonicRecruit was recently included as one of "20 leading talent management vendors" in the recent Brandon-Hall report: "Talent Management: A Complete Guide to Strategies, Systems, and Issues." SonicRecruit will also be profiled in the upcoming ERE report: "Applicant Tracking Systems 2007." In addition, SonicRecruit recently sponsored "Talent Acquisition Strategies, The Global War for Talent," a report by Aberdeen Research to be published June 30, 2007. The SonicRecruit/Aberdeen study looked at how companies are adopting and adapting talent acquisition strategies in order to gain recruiting
efficiencies, achieve differentiated value and win the global war for talent.

"Mid-market companies typically get by with cheap, inflexible hiring systems, or pay way too much for overly complicated systems," said Ian Alexander, Vice President of Marketing for Cytiva. "Being involved in these kinds of industry reports helps expose Cytiva’s SonicRecruit talent acquisition system to a large number of companies that need the kind of affordable, full-featured and custom-tailored system that SonicRecruit provides."

Cytiva/SonicRecruit will be at booth #1128 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
