Berwyn, PA (PRWEB) May 30, 2007 -- SkillSurvey, the pioneer in web based reference checking, was named a Finalist in the “Most Innovative Company” category for the 2007 American Business Awards.
Hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” (New York Post, April 27, 2005), the American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing awards program honoring great performances in business.
More than 2,000 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories, including Best Overall Company, Best Executive, Best New Product or Service, and Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program. SkillSurvey will be competing in the Most Innovative Company category.
"Being named a finalist for this award means a great deal to me and to all of us at SkillSurvey,” said Doug LaPasta, founder and board chairman. “When we founded the company, we were excited to have discovered a breakthrough solution to a challenge faced by virtually all organizations. This honor offers continued validation of our team's ingenuity and dedication and the efficacy of the solution. We are proud to be among such strong contenders for this award and look forward to the ceremony.”
SkillSurvey delivers on-demand reference checking via a proprietary online process. The technology enables employers to efficiently, economically and effectively review applicants’ professional references using a 360 approach for assessing past performance. SkillSurvey’s confidential format, as well as 24/7 accessibility, increases response rates by an average of 50 percent over phone references and yields more useable information. Recruiters save time, reach more references, and with 360-feedback, are able to increase accuracy of hiring decisions.
“Innovation is THE driver of our growth and how we differentiate ourselves as a solution provider,” said Ray Bixler, president and chief executive officer. “Each of us at SkillSurvey is driven by innovation and truly feels passionate about how we can offer our clients a revolutionized approach for improving quality of hire. The value of our service is demonstrated by our 300 percent growth rate in 2006.”
