ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2006--Demonstrating its success in the talent management industry, Kronos(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: KRON) announced it has handled more than 1,000,000 hires through its Workforce Acquisition(TM) solution in the past 12 months. Organizations from industries such as dining, grocery, healthcare, lodging, and retail rely on Kronos' selection and hiring solution to measurably improve the quality and productivity of the workforce.
Organizations such as Avamere Health Services, Evergreen Healthcare Management, Family Dollar, The Finish Line, JHM Hotels, Kroger, Original Roadhouse Grill, Pathmark, PetSmart, and Raley's have deployed Workforce Acquisition. Kronos' selection and hiring solution combines an on-demand hiring automation platform with a proven employee selection tool to create an efficient and repeatable solution for high-quality hiring.
As an example, Uno Chicago Grill, a rapidly expanding best-in-class full-service restaurant chain, selected Kronos' selection and hiring solution in order to offer more application options to job seekers. "When opening a new restaurant, managers are confronted with an array of logistical challenges including the recruiting, assessing, interviewing, and hiring of staff -- often only weeks before a grand opening. With the Kronos solution, applicants can apply from home at Unos.com instead of coming to a hiring trailer or location," said Mike Anastos, managing partner at Uno Chicago Grill. "The system also reduces managers' workloads and speeds time-to-hire, which results in faster staffing and higher quality staff for opening day."
"The retail industry has set an example for other industries to follow by adopting a productivity-centric approach to hiring and retaining employees. It's a model in which HR and operations work together to create a high-quality, highly productive workforce," said Chris Marsh president of the Kronos Talent Management Division. "A productivity-centric approach is the next frontier in talent management. We are seeing this trend catch on like wildfire in a variety of industries. As an expert in hiring and selection, Kronos is facilitating a fundamental shift in hiring strategies, as evidenced by our market momentum."
The Kronos Talent Management Division, based in Beaverton, Ore., was formed upon completion of Kronos' August 2006 acquisition of Unicru, Inc.
This announcement was made from KronosWorks(TM), the industry's largest venue for exchanging ideas in how to effectively manage the workforce. KronosWorks is taking place this week in Orlando.
