Advanced Personnel Systems adds SmartPost job posting and sourcing technology to SmartSearch®

August 6, 2010 — Oceanside CA — Advanced Personnel Systems, Inc. (APS), the maker of the SmartSearch® applicant tracking system (ATS), announced the addition of SmartPost to its growing list of job posting and sourcing partners. The partnership integrates SmartPost, the online job posting product from Bernard Hodes Group, with the SmartSearch® recruiting business solution to provide a centralized sourcing platform that supports global job distribution and optimization, and social networks job management via the innovative SmartPost Recruiting Widget functionality.

With the new integration, SmartSearch® users gain access to SmartPost’s e-media library of thousands of job posting and sourcing options from within the ATS application. The system enables recruiters to quickly and easily distribute jobs to any number of selected web sites or online media subscriptions, as well as more effectively track, edit and measure results.

“APS shares in our vision of providing customers with smarter sourcing solutions that let companies recruit faster and leverage technology to engage and hire the talent so important to their success,” said Dwaine Maltais, SVP, E-Recruiting Solutions, SmartPost. “We are excited about this new partnership and the opportunity to provide our mutual clients the functionality to be more productive.”

“We were impressed with SmartPost’s reach and value,” said LJ Morris, CTO, APS, “SmartPost goes beyond job posting technology alone and puts the power of a complete sourcing management solution in the hands of our customers. We’re always looking for ways to add value to our solution, and this new integration is a direct result of a suggestion from one of our customers, a large San Diego area manufacturing company, that found the SmartPost dashboard of metrics extremely helpful for performance measurement to maximize ROI.”

SmartSearch® brings together the myriad building blocks of recruiting workflow in one easy-to-use application, with fully integrated web portals for candidates and employees, hiring manager self-service, and vendor partners to support employment branding, collaboration and communication.
