"Encore
is a very user-friendly program that makes our job as recruiters
easy."

The
Objective
Professional Personnel Consultants had four main
objectives when looking for a new recruiting software system: |
- They had outgrown their prior system and needed an
efficient recruiting software solution to locate qualified candidates.
- They wanted to limit their dependence on
résumé hard copies that could be easily misplaced or
misfiled.
- They wanted to retain their old data while moving to a
new system.
- They sought to utilize their web site for collecting
candidate information.

The
Situation
Professional
Personnel Consultants is an executive search firm specializing in engineering,
construction, architectural and industrial management positions worldwide. For
several years, they relied on an unstable custom software system—it
constantly froze—and never provided the flexibility they needed. They also
did not have the advantage of continuous technology and software updates.

The
Solution
The Cluen team
converted the
data from their old system into Encore and, thanks to
Cluen's Project Management
service, got them up-and-running quickly. |

Targeting the Right
Candidates
According to Pam
Sisson, Encore's high-performance reporting engine—particularly the
powerful SuperFinder feature—has increased their productivity. "To
be able to find candidates by their attributes or by words and phrases in their
notes makes it much easier to make matches for current positions," says Sisson.
In fact, with more than 50 reports, Encore can help them find all of
their important data. |

Ease of Data Entry and
Data Access
"We're working
toward a paperless office…and we love that!" declares Sisson.
Encore allows users to scan résumés, import candidates from
external files (such as Excel spreadsheets), and populate the database by
dragging-and-dropping emails from Microsoft Outlook.
With Encore's
relational database, Professional Personnel Consultants no longer has to wade
through a slew of paper files to retrieve the information they need.

Online
Résumé Collection
Professional
Personnel Consultants also purchased Cluen's Searchlight add-in to collect data
from potential candidates on the Web. Using Cluen's exclusive
Résumé Firewall™ technology, they can let in the
quality candidates and keep out the ones they don't want. "Searchlight saves
time for our recruiters and allows the candidate to be a part of the search
process," said Sisson.
They were able to do this at a minimal
cost—Searchlight was easily integrated into their existing web
site. |
