StepStone Solutions Partners with TalentDrive to Deliver Advanced Resume Search Capabilities

Chicago, IL and London, UK (September 28, 2010)—TalentDrive, the creator of the innovative on-demand resume sourcing technology, TalentFilter, announced today a partnership with StepStone Solutions, a global leader in Total Talent Management solutions. This partnership fuses the advanced resume sourcing power of TalentFilter with StepStone Solutions’s extensive talent acquisition solution, providing users with a seamless solution for web-based resume sourcing.

By integrating aggregated sourcing to the existing StepStone Solutions Talent Acquisition platform, users are able to search over 100M resumes online globally. This enhanced resume sourcing capability leverages the wealth of resumes online, filtering through the mass of applicants to connect users with the most qualified candidates. Due to the influx in job-seekers, thousands of resumes going online every day, and a decreased number of open positions, many companies are progressively faced with the task of streamlining the recruitment process.

“We are continually searching for new ways to bring our users the technology solutions they need to enhance their recruitment process. Collaborating with TalentDrive is a natural progression of our strategy to enable our customers to attract and hire the best talent. Increasing the capability of line managers and HR professionals to reach the best talent from the users’ desktop is key to making our customers successful. We look forward to the results our customers will gain from this offering.” said Matthew Parker, CEO of StepStone Solutions.

“As hiring begins to return to normal levels, we’re seeing companies begin to take the necessary steps to update their recruitment capabilities. StepStone Solutions is a proven and leading source for global Talent Acquisition and Talent Management solutions and we are pleased to integrate our sourcing technology into the StepStone Solutions platform. This partnership aligns with our mission to provide advanced sourcing capabilities to an increasing audience of both domestic and international customers,” said Sean Bisceglia, CEO TalentDrive.
