SEATTLE - June 16, 2006 - Jobster Inc. today announced an integration with PeopleFilter ®Technology LLC to seamlessly link Jobster´s referral networking and targeted marketing technologies with PeopleFilter´s applicant tracking and employee referral solution.
"Jobster is dedicated to being the networking tool of choice for partners wanting to extend referral programs beyond first-level contacts and active job seekers," said Tracy Lawrence Burman, president of Jobster´s Employer Services. "PeopleFilter is the first company in the talent management space to connect its employee referral system with Jobster´s network-based recruiting tools."
The Jobster integration helps employers already using PeopleFilter´s applicant tracking technologies, which include an employee-networking portal for employees to submit résumés of qualified acquaintances. As a result, employers are able to extend their referral programs to reach passive candidates and build qualified talent pipelines for future hiring needs.
"Building a strong talent network is one of the smartest business moves that any employer can make. At PeopleFilter Technology, our mission is to help companies grow successfully and strategically, and unless a talent network is proactively pursued, significant competitive gains can be lost," said Frank Pirri, CEO of PeopleFilter Technology. "Our integration with Jobster, which represents our first of such relationships, will enable our customers to further build their talent networks and advertise job opportunities through their networks of acquaintances and past colleagues by using Jobster."
The integration is immediately available for customers or prospects of PeopleFilter and Jobster.
