nowHIRE.com Releases White Paper on the Benefits of Going Paperless, Going Green

Applicant tracking system vendor shares recruiting best practices to sustain the environment and a competitive advantage by going paperless
DETROIT, Oct. 8, 2008 — Every year, each person in the U.S. uses the equivalent of one tree, 100 feet tall and 16 inches in diameter, to fulfill their wood and paper needs.  The need to conserve resources reaches across all sectors of life, so it’s natural that businesses would follow suit.

In addition to their other corporate social responsibility initiatives, companies can take steps to streamline and even transform business processes to be environmentally friendly.  nowHIRE.com today released a white paper outlining the benefits of a paperless recruiting, hiring and onboarding process.  The white paper, “Going Paperless, Going Green: Recruiting Practices to Sustain the Environment and Your Competitive Advantage,” is available for download at http://www.nowhire.com/register_GG_whitepaper.htm.

It is possible now to conduct recruiting, hiring and onboarding activities with e-mails, text messages and electronically stored data files.  It is also possible to use a digital signature process and e-employee handbooks for further paper savings.

Going paperless lets companies reduce their carbon footprint.  A paperless process also enables companies to benefit from improved recruiting and hiring efficiency, improved brand awareness and financial savings.  Hard cost savings include reduced energy bills, mailing, paper and printing costs for all applicants and new hires. Soft costs include the reduction of administrative work required for recruiting and hiring tasks.

“Going green isn’t just a fad.  It’s a necessary way of doing business that nowHIRE is committed to,” said Joseph N. Impastato, II, nowHIRE’s president.  “We’ve built features into our ATS offerings that give companies a competitive advantage, while enabling them to do their part in sustaining the environment.”
