Operational in only 8 weeks, Lenovoís choice of MrTedTalentLink as their end-to-end Talent management solution has allowed them to start attracting new talent while retaining top performers in a streamlined and optimized way.
MrTed, a provider of talent management solutions, announced today that it has added the Lenovo Group to its growing list of successful implementations in the APAC region.
Lenovo is an innovative, international technology company formed as the result of the acquisition of the IBM Personal Computing Division by the Lenovo Group.

After 5 months of tender competition to find a high quality talent management solution, Lenovo selected MrTedTalentLink in November from a wide selection of global and local vendors.
Lenovo recognized the ability of MrTed systems to deliver rapid and significant ROI by helping companies achieve greater visibility, efficiency and control in managing their recruitment processes.
