The Internet Corporation Limited, owner of Amris (www.amris.com), today announced the details of the acquisition of Zao (www.zao.com), to complement and enhance its award winning Amris eRecruitment platform. The transaction combines the complementary strengths and benefits of both solutions, to create a unique and even wider range of eRecruitment services. Employee referrals result in the best quality hires, especially as scarcity of talent is growing in line with the economic recovery. Zao’s employee social referral platform is designed to boost referral hires, and will be available as a fully integrated optional module for all Amris users, and equally available as an independent solution that can integrate with any ATS (applicant tracking system) on the market. Amris is delighted to offer Zao to all companies, whether or not they are using Amris as an ATS.
“This is a revolutionary opportunity, that will redefine the way organisations hire, creating a comprehensive joint solution transforming direct sourcing and engagement with the power of social media,” said Mark Kieve, Chief Executive at The Internet Corporation. “The combination of Zao and Amris will allow companies to use social networks not only for job advertising, but for employee referrals and enhanced engagement in an automated and extremely efficient manner. Zao is a great fit with Amris, and combined provides a formidable tool for effective hiring and candidate engagement in every respect, we are delighted to again broaden our wide range of online recruitment services. We look forward to welcoming Zao and all their customers to the Amris eRecruitment Family.”
