PageUp People Enables Informed Business Decision Making with Enhanced HR Analytics

- Company’s Analytics Capabilities Help Organizations Maximize Business Decision Making with Advanced Recruitment Data

ATLANTA, Ga., LONDON and MELBOURNE, Singapore (November 18, 2013) -- PageUp People, a leading multinational talent management solutions provider, today announced details of how its Analytics capabilities help organizations make more informed business decisions while delivering greater insight into the impacts of their recruitment practices on business performance.

Today more than ever, CEOs and CFOs hold their HR departments accountable for, and require evidence of, how their people impact business results. With PageUp People’s HR Analytics, HR practitioners benefit from a tool that helps them manage the multitude of data and information about their workforce that is captured each day. As recruitment is often one of the most sophisticated and automated HR processes, as well as the most costly for some organizations, it is seen as the natural starting point in proving the impact of HR on business performance.

“Having data isn’t the issue; being able to interpret it and understand how best to consolidate it so it tells the right story is,” said Adam Buxton, Head of Recruitment for PageUp People client AMP. “Utilizing the power of the analytical capability from PageUp People, we now know just how well our recruitment team is performing and the impact their outcomes have on the success of our business in just a click, not the days, and multiple headaches, it has taken in the past.”

PageUp People’s Analytics module provides instant access to key workforce questions, such as how long it takes to fill roles, what the blockers are in the process, how many applicants are received for each role, and from which channels the most successful applicants come. Through this advanced offering, clients are enabled to explore their own questions, create answers and understand trends of their business in near real time.

Additional benefits of PageUp People’s Analytics module include:

 Trending: Track improvements over time or process and predict future positions or performance.
 Comparisons: Understand differences in process application and successes by business unit or teams.
 Improve Internal Processes: Create targets for process achievement, track progress and understand the results of each component to enable improvement.
 Expert Consulting Services: Benefit from working with PageUp People’s experts to create an analytics strategy best suited for their individual needs.

“For most organizations, having their data converted into a compelling story, one that tells exactly what impact their practices and people have on overall business performance, is a top priority. Our goal is to empower our clients to take control of their data, to be flexible with what, when and how they deliver their individual stories," said Bryce Dunn, senior vice president, Product Management for PageUp People. “Enabling clients like AMP, who are achieving instant success with the application and interpretation of their recruitment data using our Analytics tools, is testament to the achievement of this goal.”

PageUp People adds Apply Anywhere to recruitment platform to address mobile talent base

Recruiters for multinational firms can now reach candidates on the go inemerging and developed markets

Singapore, 25 July 2013 -- PageUp People, a leading multinational talent management solutions provider, today announced the upcoming integration of mobile-based recruitment solution Apply Anywhere to its unified talent management suite.  Designed to help global organisations reach job applicants  anywhere, anytime  via their mobile devices, the service  makes it easier for companies to engage, attract and recruit talent from multiple touch points.

Available on any kind of mobile device, whether feature phones, smartphones or tablets, Apply Anywhere lets  companies connect with a deeper pool of candidates across levels and job descriptions,  delivering value for  companies that are expanding in  emerging markets where mobile is highly popular.

“Mobile is becoming a critical tool for talent managers particularly in emerging markets where mobile adoption is rising at an unprecedented rate. The best talents out there may not always be sitting in front of a personal computer, but they may very well be checking their mobile phones every five minutes,” said Karen Cariss, CEO of PageUp People.

There were 1.2 billion unique mobile subscribers in the Asia-Pacific region at the end of 2012, according to GSM Association’s recently published report ‘Mobile Economy: Asia Pacific 2013’.

GSMA expects the high growth of mobile in Asia-Pacific to continue over the next few years, estimating 1.9 billion unique mobile subscribers by 2017, which would account for nearly half of the predicted global total of 3.9 billion.

“Some of the world’s top employers such as Accenture, PepsiCo,  and  Orange have already integrated mobile into their recruitment strategies. We expect more global companies, especially in industries like mining, retail, transportation and logistics where talents are frequently on the move or in remote worksites, to follow suit and fully optimise mobile technologies for greater flexibility and reach in talent acquisition,” said Bryce Dunn, Senior Vice President for Global Product Management, PageUp People.

In a market like Singapore, with a high mobile penetration of smartphones, recruiters are going a step further to engage potential candidates who have an affinity for the brand. Smiggle, the world’s hottest stationery brand has even tried QR codes on posters in store to try and boost the numbers of applications. “Being able to apply online at any time is fast, efficient and attracts great talent”, says Marta Newport, Human Resources Manager.

Some of the key features of Apply Anywhere are:

 Mobile Application Forms – which enable candidates to apply for jobs by simply filling in mobile application forms on their smartphones or mobile devices;
 Social Connectivity  – where candidates can apply for jobs, using their social media accounts (Facebook, Linked In, Twitter);
 SMS Apply – where candidates receive job alerts and updates through short messaging service (SMS), by simply subscribing to the service. They can also apply for jobs through text messaging.

Apply  Anywhere is an enhancement to  PageUp People’s  industry-leading  Recruitment Management system which provides secure end-to-end management of the entire recruitment process for large organisations that are operating in multi-markets.  “Apply Anywhere was designed for simplicity, flexibility and efficiency. It can be tailored to the needs of recruiters and to suit conditions in different markets and industries,” Dunn added.

Apply Anywhere is set for launch in Q4 2013.
