Supporting Quotes
- Bob DelPonte, senior product line director, Kronos
"Until now, organizations that hire a mix of both hourly and salaried employees have had to choose between the ease-of-use functionality required for high-volume hiring and the features and complexity sought by corporate and field recruiters. While some vendors claim to offer the functionality required in a unified solution, they often do not possess the domain expertise to turn potential into reality. As the first vendor to bring to market hiring technology for the frontline workforce, Kronos is yet again re-inventing talent acquisition systems."
- Madeline Laurano, principal analyst, Bersin & Associates
"Even in today's difficult economy, the demand for talent remains a high priority in many industries. This new version of Kronos' Workforce Acquisition solution gives recruiters access to the tools and metrics they need to build their talent pools and optimize their recruiting spend and talent acquisition strategies. It also offers new salaried functionality providing an easy‐to‐navigate dashboard and putting the information recruiters and hiring managers need at their fingertips."
- Rob McCullam, director of recruiting, JoS. A. Bank
"As director of recruiting, I need to be able to track how job seekers found our career pages, what they do once they’re on the site, and where they go when they leave. The evidence-based data in the Kronos sourcing analytics tool would help Jos. A. Bank optimize our recruitment strategy and cast a wider net for the talent that will drive our future success."
