Reppify announces partnership with Taleo

July 18, 2011 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO - July 18, 2011 - Reppify, a leading-edge technology company pioneering the use of social media data to drive better business decisions, announced today a new partnership with Taleo, the leading provider of on-demand talent management solutions. As a result of the partnership, more than 4,000 Taleo Business Edition customers now have access to Reppify Automated Screening + Social, a recruiting tool providing the ability to quickly screen and assess job applicants' work experience, education, and online data to quickly identify top candidates for open positions.

According to a 2010 Cross-Tab/Microsoft survey, approximately 80 percent of recruiters and HR professionals check online sources to learn about potential candidates. However, this type of screening is often performed manually, leading to inconsistent results and the risk of potential discrimination liability from using an individual’s ‘protected class’ information learned from social media – race, age, religion, sexual orientation, etc. – in a hiring decision.  Reppify’s proprietary technology removes this protected class data, protecting the privacy of the job-seeker and providing a valuable ‘third dimension’ to the traditional resume for the recruiter when evaluating candidates. Using Reppify, recruiters can also customize their candidate screening criteria. Results are based on candidate information from their online profiles, including data from social media sites:  LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and others.

“The addition of Reppify’s social media candidate screening technology to Taleo’s proven Business Edition talent management system will provide our customers with a seamless way to gain key insight into their candidate base and therefore make better informed hiring decisions.” said Don Darrah, Senior Director of Business Development for Taleo Business Edition.

“The ability to quickly conduct candidate screening using social media sites like LinkedIn and Facebook has become an imperative for corporate recruiters”, said Chirag Nangia, Founder and CEO of Reppify. “By partnering with Taleo Business Edition, customers can now perform these candidate screenings and obtain key information on potential candidates they need without leaving their Taleo environment.”

Reppify Automated Screening + Social is available as of today for all Taleo Business Edition customers, and can be found on the Taleo Solution Exchange, online at: https://solutionexchange.taleo.net/sx/.
