InterActive Applicant Announces Canadian Launch of Multimedia Recruitment System

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 11, 2008 – Calgary, Alberta, Canada  – InterActive Applicant today announced the launch of InterActive Applicant, an innovative Web 2.0 multimedia recruitment solution, to the Canadian market.

InterActive Applicant allows employers and recruiters to save time and money by improving the interview screening process.  By using webcam technology, job seeker qualities not apparent on a resume or during a telephone interview can now be seen by hiring managers.  This means they can hire the best person in the least amount of time and allows job seekers the opportunity to showcase their communication skills and personality and set themselves apart from other candidates.

“In my extensive experience as both an employer and a third-party recruiter, one thing is clear - rarely does a resume provide you with enough information to make effective screening decisions. The current screening process is outdated and needs to be changed to benefit both the job applicant and the hiring manager,” said Darryn Severyn, InterActive Applicant’s Founder and CEO.

InterActive Applicant also enables employers to cost-effectively search for qualified candidates not in the geographical area of the position.  Employers and recruiters can increase their talent pool without increasing recruitment expenses related to flying in and housing potential candidates.

“The competition for talent is global because many of the most valuable people are more mobile than ever. Sourcing of services and talent is becoming global too – as enterprises become aware of this fact, their need for HCM services will rise,” states Gartner http://gartner.com, in a report titled, "Economy and Demographics Put Human Capital Management Into Focus,” by Rolf Jester, March 2008.
