REAL People partner with U.S to bring cutting edge technology to UK

Yorkshire based recruitment consultancy, REAL People Group, is this month celebrating the launch of a new web-based Talent Management service, having been chosen as a partner for a leading US provider, bringing cutting edge technology to the UK.

Having been behind some of the most advanced and innovative HR technology around, for the last 4 years, REAL People have now been chosen as the UK partners for award winning Hrsmart Inc. of Dallas, Texas, enabling them to now offer the latest advancements in e-recruitment, developed by a leading provider of world-class talent management solutions.

REAL People Managing Director, Chris Buckley said: îIn a rapidly changing market our customers want faster, more cost efficient recruitment solutions to attract and engage the best people for their businesses. The Internet has had a significant impact on how people find and recruit people. We are constantly looking to use the latest technological developments to make our customers lives easier and enhance the employment experience for both employers and employeesî

He added: îBy bringing this very advanced, yet simple to use system to the UK, we are now able to significantly reduce administration time for employers and put systems in place to ensure their recruitment process is effective and efficient in finding them the best possible employeesî.

ìThe US market is about two to five years ahead of the UK, so it makes sense to work with their highly market ready range of products. As a team, we are very excited to offer robust and effective web-based recruitment solutions to our clients that we know will enhance their businesses. We are transforming the selection process, making it faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective than ever before.î

HRsmart is a modular system that can be implemented in stages, allowing the customer to implement the whole system in a planned and effective way and not pay for functionality they donít use. Based largely around applicant tracking and management, it also has the capacity to go beyond recruitment, creating structure for procedures involving induction, appointment and career development.

Mark Hamdan President and CEO of HRsmart, Inc said: ìWe are very excited to be formalizing the relationship with REAL People. We believe there are significant synergies between our two companies and that by working together we will be able to rapidly deliver new and unique Talent Management solutions to the UK market.î

Whilst this new product is a further development from what REAL people have created in house, their own bespoke services have to date proven popular with clients such as Morrisons who have benefited from being able to manage their recruitment directly, through a REAL people system. Their package added a careers section to their website, which managed applications directly, through a back office system, from filing cvs, to allocating interviews, enabling them to form a relationship directly with their job applicants.

Current clients using HRsmart include: IBM, SAKS Fifth Avenue, Four Seasons Hotel & Resorts.

Other clients REAL people are also working with on recruitment include Morrisons, UCLAN, Instore.
