Recruitmax Announces Impact

Recruitmax, a world provider in technology and services for building great workforces, today announced that its award-winning performance management application, Impact, is now available. Impact provides a comprehensive solution for developing and retaining exceptional employees by aligning employee, group and corporate goals; measuring and tracking employee performance; and providing managers the tools they need to proactively manage their teams.



Impact has already won widespread praise from early-adopters that have added it to their existing suite of Recruitmax products, in addition to HR and technology industry professionals. In October 2004, Impact secured an overwhelming victory in the Performance Management Vendor Shootout at Human Resource Executiveís 7th Annual HR Technology Conference. The product placed first in each of the four categories by which the applications were measured; configuring the performance form, goal creation, performance appraisals and reporting.

Recent market research indicates that Employee Performance Management is this yearís top priority among HR executives. These professionals recognise that many of the best candidates for job openings are already working for their organisations. Using Impact, managers can take a more proactive approach to developing talent, promoting from within and ensuring a strong leadership pipeline is always in place.

Weíre pleased to offer this best-of-breed performance management solution to organisations around the world, said Derek Mercer, Recruitmax founder and chief executive officer. Impact complements our other exceptional products and earned rapid recognition from HR professionals as a leader in its category. Recruitmax has the most comprehensive suite of best-of-breed applications to help companies build a great workforce. Our applications help managers find the most talented workers, onboard those workers efficiently, measure and develop their pool of talent and retain top performers. Thatís an unbeatable combination.

Impact is the new and enhanced version of the former Performance Impact Enterprise, the flagship product of KnowledgePoint. Recruitmax acquired this Northern California software provider in August 2004 and combined its vast experience in developing enterprise applications with KnowledgePointís more than 12 years of Employee Performance Management experience to create Impact.

Darren Jaffrey, Recruitmaxís UK general manager concluded, Organisations using Impact are taking a strategic approach to improving the effectiveness of their performance management processes which, in turn, will yield increased productivity and better employee retention, making a positive impression on their bottom line.
