MrTed Positioned in Gartners' Magic Quadrant

LONDON, December 8, 2009 –- MrTed Ltd, the global leader in Talent Acquisition Solutions, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for E-Recruitment Software.”

“We consider our positioning in the ‘Visionaries’ quadrant by Gartner to be confirmation of our mission to help global companies innovate their E-Recruitment and talent acquisition initiatives,” said Jerome Ternynck, CEO and co-founder of MrTed. “After a decade of true SaaS E-Recruitment, our passion and dedication to excellence is stronger than ever. We understand that businesses value strong compliance capabilities, multinational support, extensive functionality and a strong financial foundation.”

Gartner evaluates vendors on two criteria:
• Ability to execute: Gartner evaluates vendors on the quality and efficacy of the products and services that enable their performance to be competitive, efficient and effective, and to have a positive impact on revenue, retention and reputation. Ultimately, vendors are judged on their ability and success in capitalizing on their vision.
• Completeness of vision: Gartner evaluates vendors on their ability to articulate logical statements about market direction, innovation, customer needs and competitive forces. Gartner also evaluates how well vendor vision maps to the market trends described above. Vendors are rated on how well they understand and leverage market forces.

According to Gartner, Visionaries have a well-articulated strategy that includes deeper focus on talent acquisition or a broader focus on talent management. Each vendor in the Visionaries quadrant is innovative in a significant way. Compared with leaders in the e-recruitment software market, these vendors do not have one area of execution where they distinguish themselves from other vendors in the market.

“Because of our exclusive focus on E-Recruitment SaaS solutions, we are able to channel our focus into innovation,” Ternynck said. “With the release of MrTedTalentLink Version 9, named Cloud 9, users and organizations will have more power to find top talent and experience an unprecedented flexibility of data and improved user experience will allow them to access the information they need when and where they need it.”
