CEO and co-founder of HR Manager.
SIMPLIFIES THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS
More than 400 companies in the Nordic countries
currently use their most popular solution, the
Talent Recruiter. In addition, the solution is used
in over 50 countries around the world. Some of
the key benefits to the innovative system are that
it automates the application process, and
simplifies the communication with the candidates.
– Talent Recruiter establishes a database where
you can invite registered candidates to apply for
new positions, search and share information about
them, and progress more easily between recruiters,
says Partner and co-founder of HR Manager,
Oddbjørn Elgstøen.
MORE THAN A RECRUITMENT SOLUTION
In the last few years, there has been a major
change in the use of the solution. To satisfy the
demand for using Talent Recruiter in other ways
than recruiting, HR Manager AS has developed
several Talent Management modules that are
compatible with the system.
– Our customers are both large and medium sized
businesses, and numerous of them have used
Talent Recruiter for several years. They have seen
the potential of using it in other areas as well, and
with our help this is now possible, says Ringdal.
– From being just a recruitment tool, our Talent
Management modules can now be used for the
full employment life cycle. This includes updating
employment contracts, adding staff’s extended
education and skills, and other assessment solu-
tions. Our solutions are also very compatible and
can be easily integrated with other HR systems,
adds Elgstøen.
CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH NORDEA
Nordea Sweden has used Talent
Recruiter since 2006, and the
system is now a vital part of the
HR department.
Jakob Scherwin,
HR Partner at
Nordea Sweden.
– We’ve had a close relationship
with HR Manager for five years,
and it has been very successful.
Talent Recruiter is easy to
handle and understand, both
for those who apply and ourselves,
says Jakob Scherwin,
HR Partner at Nordea Sweden.
– Talent Recruiter is an excellent tool in more
than one way. We are able to give automatic
replies to all candidates and the “Document
generator” makes it possible for us to upload all
registered data about a hired candidate, and
automatically include them in the employment
contract. The solution also gives us the
opportunity to store all contract changes during
the employment phase, he says.
– I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HR Manager
and Talent Recruiter to everyone who needs a
reliable and compatible recruitment system,
concludes Scherwin.
