Industry-leading applicant tracking system enhances ability to source passive candidates on popular business and social networking sites including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter
Oceanside, CA May 8, 2009 -- SmartSearch, the flagship solution from Advanced Personnel Systems, Inc. (APS), a top-rated talent acquisition management and recruiting business solution, further enhanced capabilities for its users to leverage Web 2.0 sites for sourcing passive candidates and business networking contacts. Second quarter updates to SmartSearch Version 13 and the ability for recruiters to export job postings to Facebook and MySpace, as well as for candidates to share a job through links to their personal pages. Plus, recruiters will have the ability to send job info as a twitter post. Users with a Twitter account can post job listings up to 140 characters (the Twitter maximum) and automatically load the job title and company URL for the posting. SmartSearch Version 13 already offers advanced Web 2.0 sourcing functionality such as the ability to store URL profile addresses for business contacts and prospective candidates from an unlimited number of online communities, and fast, easy access to corresponding records in the SmartSearch database. In addition, the system can be configured so that when users open a candidate or contact record already in SmartSearch, an automatic search is triggered to search the LinkedIn community to see if a matching record can be found, and then automatically update the corresponding SmartSearch record by adding the LinkedIn profile URL. Users can also manually initiate a search based on name, location, or company with a single click; a similar quick look up feature to find candidates on Twitter is in the works.
