HireDesk Launches Pulse™, a Tool to Monitor Recruitment and Hiring Industry Trends
Industry Leader Adds An Element to Its Knowledge Center Initiative – Tracking and Reporting on Issues Important to the Recruitment and Hiring Industry
Vancouver, B.C., — May 18, 2006 — HireDesk,™ a division of Talent Technology Corporation (TTC) and an award-winning provider of recruitment and hiring software solutions, today announced the launch of Pulse, a process designed to monitor and update the industry on issues of interest to recruiters, talent acquisition professionals, and their management teams. The initiative will be undertaken by the recently established TTC Knowledge Center.
According to Dr. Leaetta Hough, Director of TTC’s Knowledge Center, “The age of the Internet has made it feasible to collect, summarize, and report on information in almost real-time. With Pulse, our company Web site will post a continually updated set of survey topics and questions that target issues critical to recruitment and talent acquisition professionals today.” Hough added, “We will provide website visitors with brief sets of new survey items each two weeks, following a survey plan that is both pre-planned and responsive to what we learn in analyzing preceding weeks’ input.”
“Our technology permits us to provide website visitors who provide survey input with a statistical summary and interpretation of each survey automatically, via email,” said Dr. David Jones, leader of HireDesk’s corporate product area. As we conclude broader survey topic areas, we will distribute broader analyses and summaries of participant best practices reports in the same fashion. We also plan to provide an annual report, summarizing overall industry trends uncovered by our ever-growing survey data base,” Jones concluded.
Among the areas to be explored in the initial months of Pulse will be Creative Talent Sourcing Practices, What Works in Quality-of-Hire Programs, Employee Retention Strategies, Challenges In Legal Compliance, Evolution of Recruitment Process Outsourcing, The Pay-Off in Hiring Process Automation, The Changing Roles of Internal and External Recruiters, and Methods for Measuring the Business Impact of Sound Hiring.
Jade Bourelle, President and CEO of TTC commented, “We see no better way to stay tuned to the industry. Pulse provides the best way for us to gather data quickly, simply, and in a highly cost-effective way. What better way to be sure we are on track with solutions that speak directly to what our customers are thinking today?”
