Next Generation Cloud Recruitment Solution Set for Release in 2012

Cornerstone OnDemand, a global provider of software-as-a-service learning and talent management solutions, has recently announced a new addition to their comprehensive suite of talent management technology offerings. Entitled, Cornerstone Recruiting Cloud, the upcoming next-gen hiring solution is slated for release in early 2012, and will feature the latest advancements in social recruiting, sourcing and onboarding.

“In today’s war for talent, the quality of hire is paramount, requiring a more strategic and dynamic way of sourcing and selecting both external and internal candidates,” said Adam Miller, president and CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand.  “Most recruiting solutions on the market today were built for the way people recruited 10 years ago.  Rather than retrofitting an outdated software system, Cornerstone’s recruiting solution is being developed organically to leverage the social ways that people source and recruit today.”

Some of the planned features for the solution include tools for:

• Social Recruiting , for identifying candidates from internal and external networks, as well as fostering collaboration and exchange of feedback and comments among the internal candidate review team.
• Talent Communities, allowing organizations and individual managers to more easily build bench strength and nurture talent pools, as well as foster ongoing candidate relationships – activity that is critical to creating talent continuity.
• Onboarding to reduce new hire time-to-productivity, connect employees to the company’s culture, and immediately align new hire activity and development with business goals.
• Workforce Planning, for revealing the gaps in a company’s current talent portfolio and planning for future workforce needs.

With the completion of Recruiting Cloud, Cornerstone will be one of the only vendors to provide a comprehensive, organically developed talent management SaaS suite. Recruiting Cloud is designed to be natively social and will provide recruiters with an easier avenue for connecting both internal and external candidates with jobs.
