OCEANSIDE, CA May 11, 2012 — Advanced Personnel Systems, Inc. (APS), the maker of SmartSearch® recruiting business software announces the release of its new Version 16.
The latest version of SmartSearch® features a new user-configurable search interface called Search My Way that allows each user to define preferred search parameters and drag data sections into any order. This simplifies and streamlines most common searches to find candidates faster. The Search My Way function includes an option to harness the “Power Search” tools engine for Monster.com integrated resume search. Version 16 also offers cross-database searching for large clients with multiple database environments.
In tandem with the v16 release, SmartSearch® rolls out updates to its built-in Mobile Access module with the addition of two new Apps for Android and iPhone, both available for download at the smart phone App store. The new Apps feature an updated interface and adds new features to mobile capabilities such ability to view documents, match candidates to jobs, and additional access to Work-In-Progress dashboard items.
“In addition to the highly anticipated Apps for recruiters, we’ll soon be releasing an optional Apps for Candidates and Hiring Managers,” said Doug Coull, CEO at APS, “These Apps will be branded to the company site to complement existing web presence.”
Version 16 also features a S.M.A.R.T. (Social Media And Recruiting Toolkit) menu that brings new and existing social media integrations together in one convenience place. Built-in search tools reach across social networks to find people, post jobs, view and update activity on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, and easily import candidates and contacts to the SmartSearch® database either individually or in bulk.
Version 16 enhances SmartSearch® text messaging capability in partnership with TextHub.com to better support mobile recruiting, and adds optional integration with ProveIt! – one of the nation’s leading skill/knowledge assessment services.
