Veechi ResuReader(TM) iPhone App Streamlines Resume Data Capture; SocializedHR.com(TM) Pioneers Social Identity Reporting
iPhone App, Personalized Web Site Simplify On-the-Go Recruiting and Candidate Evaluation
MONTE SERENO, Calif., May 26 -- Recruiters can dramatically reduce their time spent managing candidate data and improve results with two pioneering talent management products introduced today by Veechi Corp. Capable of operating together or independent of one another, the Veechi ResuReader(TM) iPhone app and SocializedHR.com(TM) cloud software offer on-the-spot data acquisition and organization integrated with powerful social identity reporting to save time and find top candidates.
"Imagine this," said Peter Levy, CEO of Veechi. "A candidate hands you a resume at a career fair. You use ResuReader on an iPhone to take a picture of the document, and the data on it is then organized into text fields such as personal info, experience and education. An iPhone photo of the candidate becomes part of that iPhone record. While you're interviewing and taking notes on the iPhone, everything is automatically and securely uploaded to your SocializedHR.com site. You haven't touched a pen and the candidate file is ready and workable in the field and at the office."
"ResuReader insures that a good candidate doesn't fall through the cracks," said Heather Laing, Manager of College Recruiting for VMware. "Recruiters have grappled with hard copy resumes for years, and we worry that good applicants can get lost in the paper-pushing process. The mobile capture-and-save capabilities of ResuReader and SocializedHR.com solve that problem."
SocializedHR.com eliminates the hit-and-miss aspects of recruitment research. Information from ResuReader is available to the recruiter on their personalized secure SocializedHR.com cloud software. The recruiter can instantly create a comprehensive social identity report on any candidate already in the database, imported from a TMS system or file, or entered by hand. All data is viewable and accessible only by the recruiter or employer.
Social Identity reports include information from the candidate's public profiles in major social networks and from other public information sources. Reports contain employment-specific information, such as showing people from the candidate's social circles who have worked for the inquiring employer.
"SocializedHR.com has tremendous value because recruiters have little or no time to conduct complete social identity due diligence," said Steven Goldberg, HR Technology industry advisor and former PeopleSoft senior executive.
SocializedHR.com integrates ResuReader, social identity reports, and core candidate management functions. SocializedHR.com can be used to manage files imported from other TMS sources as well as from Veechi's JobGenius(TM), the unique socially-powered resume creation and job search tool for college students.
"Veechi's products add a fast, reliable dimension to a recruiter's arsenal," said Goldberg. "Whether used by an individual, a small company, or a large corporate HR department, ResuReader and SocializedHR.com offer innovative capabilities that streamline and strengthen the recruitment process."
ResuReader and SocializedHR.com will be available in July 2010. Pricing information will be posted soon.
