TalentBin Unveils Breakthrough Talent Search Engine: Transforms the Web Into Largest-Ever Talent Sourcing Database

San Francisco, CA – May 15, 2012 – TalentBin has just turned the entire professional web into the largest talent sourcing database known to mankind with its public launch today. Already serving the social media recruiting needs of over 60 companies such as Intuit, Groupon, Dolby, and Yahoo!, TalentBin’s Talent Search Engine gives recruiters and hiring managers access to the most comprehensive professional profile information available, helping them pinpoint highly qualified, hard-to-find candidates more quickly and accurately than ever before. Available as a standalone search engine or plug-in for existing HRIS, Recruiting CRM, or Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), TalentBin merges pertinent career information scattered all over the internet into a single unified web resume, to help recruiters discover, research, and engage with the best talent the web has to offer.

Recruiters and hiring managers face a common challenge: top talent is rarely actively looking for new employment. As a result, their professional profiles on LinkedIn and in other communities typically lack the skills and experience detail needed to help recruiters bring them exciting new opportunities for career growth. TalentBin’s talent search engine was created to address this pain point – to not just discover, but aggregate a candidate’s implicit professional activity: the information they share across social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Meetup, Quora, and more. This, coupled with industry-specific social communities like Github, Sourceforge, and Bitbucket for software engineering, bolsters anemic profiles with vital information on skills and expertise. The result is a more complete and accurate profile that provides a 360-degree view of a candidate, covering professional skills to personal interests, all essential information to determining ideal job fit. TalentBin then takes it one step further, compiling all contact information such as email addresses, Twitter handle, and more.

Growing Need to Streamline Operations and Reduce Costs Drives the Global Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc

San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 14, 2012 — Follow us on LinkedIn — Human resource outsourcing (HRO) includes the integration of people management strategies, operational business services, and technology that offers potential benefits for buyers, service providers and consultants. Plagued with mounting complexity and compliance pressures of business processes, organizations are increasingly opting for outsourcing of HR functions. Growth in the market is dependent on factors such as sales and marketing capabilities, domain expertise, business risk management, breadth and depth of coverage, data compliance with regulatory specifications, and location advantage. Large multinational corporations constitute the primary clients for HRO services. However, HRO is steadily gaining prominence among smaller companies, who are exhibiting willingness to outsource HR functions, primarily due to the availability of suitable outsourcing models from service providers.

Rising demand from areas such as high-tech, financial services, manufacturing and telecom, and increased demand from the UK and Continental Europe are expected to foster growth in the HR Outsourcing services market. The sector is also witnessing increased demand from developing markets and small and medium enterprises. While India remains the offshoring stronghold, new alternate centers are emerging rapidly across Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. With uncertainty continuing to plague the global economy, companies are opting for smaller projects, whereby select projects/functions are offloaded to reduce operational burden and costs. The uncertain market environment is driving companies to adopt ‘piecemeal’ approach, wherein the impact of cost reduction would be highest in specific areas. Such an approach has slowed down the demand for comprehensive HRO services in the short run. Long-term growth would be dependent on factors such as business optimization, innovation as well as business transformation. Aging workforce in western countries and emergence of novel concepts such as Platform BPO are expected to drive a new wave of outsourcing, particularly amongst mid-market companies.

Graduation Season Brings a Host of New Talent for Job Recruitment Opportunities

alt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) May 14, 2012 — With graduation season in full swing, now is one of the best times for companies to start hiring new talent. Human resource departments are often burdened with taking care of general policy and staff development needs, leaving little time for recruitment efforts. Outsourcing all or part of the recruitment process to a human resources management agency like proHR can save time and money, while improving the overall hiring process.

“There are many reasons a company may choose to outsource the recruiting function,” said Kristen Harisay, president of proHR. “A lot of time and attention from management and HR professionals goes into hiring a new candidate. By outsourcing this function they can focus their attention on broader issues the company is facing, while an outside expert takes care of finding quality candidates.”

Utah’s strong business economy, particularly in the technology sector has created a competitive market for finding and retaining the best talent. Recently, Adobe Systems, eBay, Electronic Arts and Oracle have all expanded business operations in the state.
