Pointwing® 1.3 Recruiting Software Focuses On Customization to Accelerate and Streamline Recruiting Workflow Processes
New release of on-demand Pointwing recruiting software delivers customizable flexibility to enable streamlined workflow processes that improve productivity and profits.
Atlanta, GA, October 1, 2008. In todays hotly-contested recruiting and staffing market, managing your cost of service delivery and differentiating your business from that of your competitors are perhaps the most critical components of a successful business practice. VCG gives recruiting and staffing firms new tools to achieve these goals with version 1.3 of their Pointwing recruiting software.
Pointwing 1.3 recruiting software improves service delivery and differentiation with custom screens and User Defined Fields that are easy to create. Also featured are radius searching and integration with new Pointwing Self Service Web module.
Pointwing 1.3 helps you to manage the cost of service delivery by improving your productivity in a number of ways.
- Customizable data screens within Pointwing enable you to work more efficiently, aligning the recruiting and staffing information that is most important, in the order you want it presented. You can add, delete and move fields, including custom user defined fields, with the use of simple “drag-and-drop” functionality. As these customizations are easy for you to develop yourself, you can reduce or eliminate the costs of software customizations that typically require expensive programming.
- Customizable User Defined Fields (UDF’s) enable you to capture data about candidates or accounts that are specific to your recruiting needs. Pointwing enables the creation, validation, screen placement on custom screens, searching and reporting of UDF’s that include: date, time, integer, money, single-value picklist item, Boolean, decimal, and more. By combining custom UDF’s with custom data screens you can create streamlined workflow processes that are distinct to your business. These help improve service delivery and distinguish your business.
- Radius searching gives you the ability to perform searches in Pointwing within a specified geographic area. You can quickly and easily match candidates to jobs in their local area, giving the applicant better, more attractive choices when deciding where they wish to work.
- Integration with the new Pointwing Self Service module connects the Pointwing Front Office module to your Web site in real-time, enabling you to post jobs and resources/candidates to search for jobs, register and/or update their profile, upload their resume and apply for jobs. This greatly reduces data entry, streamlines the acquisition of candidates and further improves recruiter productivity.
“Many of the recruiting and staffing services we have worked with over the past thirty years have had their own special needs,” says Steve Taylor, President and CEO of VCG. “Pointwing 1.3 goes a long way to helping those firms wrap the software around their business and best-practice processes so that they can be more successful.”
