TalentBin Integrates with SilkRoad to Add Web-Wide Passive Candidate Discovery to OpenHire Applicant Tracking Software
SilkRoad Users Can Seamlessly Leverage TalentBin's Talent Search Engine, Easily Sourcing the Entire Professional Web to Identify Hard-to-Find Candidates, and Import Profiles Directly Into OpenHire ATS
SAN FRANCISCO and CHICAGO, Aug. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TalentBin, the talent search engine that turbo-charges talent discovery across the web, today announced full integration with SilkRoad Technology, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based social talent management solutions. Users of SilkRoad's OpenHire Applicant Tracking Software can now seamlessly leverage TalentBin's expansive talent search engine to search across social media communities, tag relevant profiles, and import new candidates into their OpenHire interface. The integration enhances SilkRoad's social recruiting capabilities, allowing hiring managers and recruiters to be even more proactive in engaging with the right candidates for the right jobs.
More than 100 leading companies, including Intuit, Groupon, Dolby, and Yahoo!, rely on TalentBin's Talent Search Engine for their social media recruiting needs. TalentBin crawls social media and industry-specific web communities to identify potential job candidates, zeroing in on pertinent career information (skills, expertise, etc.) and merging them into a single unified web resume. Organizations can now jointly use TalentBin with SilkRoad's OpenHire to proactively search, identify, and engage with the best talent the web has to offer, slashing time-to-hire and boosting quality-of-hire like never before.
"The mission of SilkRoad is to not just give our clients the most powerful and versatile end-to-end talent management solution available, but to turn their talent programs into a decisive business advantage. This is incredibly important in today's market environment, as organizations battle to attract and retain highly valuable human capital," said Flip Filipowski, CEO of SilkRoad Technology. "Adding breakthrough technologies like TalentBin to our proven human capital management (HCM) suite helps us deliver on our promise. By incorporating a powerful social recruiting capability to the pre-hire process, OpenHire users gain access to greater, more relevant candidates, within the familiar interface to which they're already accustomed, improving the speed and efficiency of talent management overall."
As part of the talent discovery process, TalentBin aggregates a candidate's "implicit" professional activity: the skills and interests they reveal across social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Meetup, Quora, and more that might not make it to their resumes. Coupled with other industry-specific social communities like Github, Sourceforge, and Bitbucket for software engineering, for example, this bolsters passive professional profiles with information that's vital to helping recruiters determine ideal job fit. The result is a more accurate, 360-degree view of a candidate that covers everything from professional skills to personal interests. TalentBin then takes it one step further, compiling all contact information such as email addresses, Twitter handles, and more to help facilitate direct candidate engagement.
"SilkRoad's full suite of solutions does a tremendous job of managing the employee experience from recruiting to onboarding and beyond. With our laser focus on candidate discovery, we can extend this process even further on the front-end, helping recruiters find the best talent the web has to offer," said Pete Kazanjy, Co-Founder of TalentBin. "SilkRoad's OpenHire users can take advantage of this sourcing power to seamlessly push those prospective candidates into their hiring funnel - accessing more efficient, proactive recruiting across the largest candidate pool imaginable."
TalentBin offers an API for seamless integrations with a wide range of software partners. The TalentBin solution already has over 200 million candidate profiles cultivated from over 30 professional social media communities, and growing.
