iTalent Competition to Reward Innovation in HR and Recruitment Technology

 
May 19, 2014 - PRLog -- The HRO Today Forum Europe has today launched its annual iTalent competition, designed to reward innovative HR technology companies that are leading the way in helping businesses recruit and retain employees.

The HRO Today Forum Europe provides a unique collaborative environment for an exclusive audience of HR, Recruitment, and Technology executives to discuss the future of HR. The iTalent competition, which will conclude at the event this November, is open to any technology company operating within the HR sector, including payroll, recruitment, talent management and learning, among others. Start-ups, new businesses and new offerings from established companies are all equally welcome, as long as they offer services in Europe, or plan to in the very near future.

Entries to the competition are being accepted from today until Tuesday 30th September. A shortlist of 10 will be announced in early October, with the top five entries competing in the iTalent competition at the HRO Today Forum Europe on Wednesday 12th November. Each of these shortlisted entries will then give a timed, seven-minute HR innovation pitch before the event audience and a judging panel of HR experts and practitioners, industry analysts, and technology investors. Each iTalent pitch will be assessed by the judges, and both they and the audience will vote to select the overall winner, who will be announced at the event. They will receive consultations with the judging panel of experts and investors, one-to-one meetings with HR executives attending the HRO Today Forum, as well as being profiled in HRO Today magazine.

Last year’s winner was Pando by Aspen Advisors. Founder Andrew Gadomski said: “Thanks to HRO Today Forum, the panel of judges, and the in-person and online audiences for recognizing Aspen Advisors and Pando.  Pando was designed to help business leaders make better business decisions by combining data and evidence from disparate systems. Many HRO providers access dozens or hundreds of HR systems, and being recognized as a significant innovator by those organizations validates quickly our business value.”

Faye Holland, Managing Director, SharedXpertise (owner of the HRO Today Forum Europe) said:

“Last year’s iTalent competition showcased an extremely high level of excellence, and we are expecting to attract the same quality of entrants this year. It’s always very exciting to see how innovative the HR industry is and what new technologies are being created to support HR professionals and recruiters.”
