HODES IQ ADDS VERTAFORE TO CLIENT ROSTER

Leading insurance software and services firm selects Hodes iQ to help with company growth
OCTOBER 29, 2008, NEW YORK, NY –- Hodes iQ, Bernard Hodes Group’s award-winning talent management system, is pleased to announce the addition of Washington-based Vertafore, Inc. to its client line-up. The company is the leading provider of software and services for the insurance industry, and chose Hodes iQ based on its user-friendly interface and modular scalability.

Key for Vertafore was identifying a technology partner that could grow with them over the coming years. After carefully reviewing six other ATS/TMS vendors, Hodes iQ was selected based on its ease of use and modular feature set as well as affordability. Hodes iQ will allow Vertafore to take the first steps in bringing its hiring process online, without the cost and complexity of implementing a total end-to-end solution.

“Hodes iQ was built to be scalable so as client needs deepen into other areas of the employee talent lifecycle so will the system,” said Jeremy Shapiro, SVP, Hodes iQ. “Vertafore can easily take a layered approach with their talent management workflow, and the ability to add additional features and modules down the road offers them the freedom to maximize their technology investment while not impacting their budget until they’re ready.”

 “Modular scalability and costs were definitely key differentiators for us, but I see Hodes iQ making the greatest impact on the speed in which I can hire in the right talent my company needs to remain competitive,” said Vicki Olafson, manager of recruitment, Vertafore. “The Hodes iQ sourcing and job posting functions alone have already simplified our recruiting process and have lessened the administrative tasks that don’t bring value to my business.”
