NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 23, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Advantage Human Resourcing(r), a leading provider of Talent, has unveiled TalentLink(tm), its latest technology-driven business solution. TalentLink is a powerful information management system that leverages the Advantage Human Resourcing proprietary Talent community of Associates, Clients, and assignments by rapidly matching the precise Talent, either on a temporary or direct-hire basis, to the unique needs of Clients. TalentLink radically reduces the administrative effort associated with this process. It enables Advantage professionals to maximize their time and effort in assessing Client needs, and in the recruitment and placement of highly qualified candidates. Another key benefit is its accelerated processing capability of back-office functions that satisfies Client requests, Associate needs, and facilitates Client billing and reporting.
"We searched extensively for the right solution, and, in the process, evaluated several products, based upon a rigid set of criteria, including technology and business perspectives," said Catherine C. Candland, President and CEO. "The result is TalentLink, a completely customized, highly interactive, Windows-driven, data-base system that enables us to quicken our response time to customers and help Advantage further excel at customer service."
As a leader in providing a wide range of innovative, technology-driven Talent solutions that increase productivity and return on human capital, while minimizing costs, Advantage recognized the increasing need in the marketplace for eProcurement services and solutions. In direct response to this market trend, Phase One of TalentLink has been successfully in operation since early June and is available to all Advantage employees.
Phase Two will be rolled out during the third quarter 2001, and will provide a portal for Clients to define job specifications and electronically place a search request, as well as access real-time management reports with built-in tools for customization.
