Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the problem of companies struggling to find suitable candidates for critical positions due to a shortage of skilled labor. This issue leads to increased labor costs and a decrease in efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

However, even with a high unemployment rate many companies are having trouble filling open positions because of an increasing disparity between critical and non-critical skills talent.
These dynamics result in an enormous amount of unqualified applicants applying to open high skilled positions and increasing the company's internal recruitment labor costs.
According to one aspect of the present invention, typical recruitment and hiring practices used by companies and organizations are extremely inefficient at placing the most qualified candidates to open positions.
Generally, these hiring methods may only provide approximately 14% likelihood of a successful hiring decision.
Poor recruitment practices may further lead to high staff turnover, as employees may be mismatched to their position and may leave as a result of poor performance or unhappiness.
High turnover may further result in even higher recruitment costs; as those employees leave additional recruitment efforts may need to be undertaken.
Depending upon the employee's position, the costs of employee turnover can be staggering, ranging anywhere from half to five times an employee's annual wages.
However, these ATS systems are non-optimal and do not adequately manage the hiring process.
Because users of talent platform frequently operate outside of the talent platforms to perform various hiring functions, the overall hiring functions cannot be effectively managed or evaluated.
It is further appreciated that these ATS systems do not provide the functions necessary to filter through the number of unqualified applicants, causing the employers with open positions to rely on specialized staffing firms to decrease the time-to-fill and cost per hire.
In addition, staffing agencies typically work with only a select number of clients and have a limited number of requisitions or job orders available to them.
Furthermore, staffing companies compete against each other for placing candidates, often duplicating submissions (i.e. multiple recruiters submitting the same candidate more than once for the same job opening).

Embodiment Construction

[0076]As described above, ATS companies are typically removed from the contingency direct hire placement market. While ATS companies are without access to the recruiters' pool of candidates, the recruiters do not have access to the ATS database of job requisitions. Accordingly, there is a need for a distributed recruitment system that provides integrated interfaces that directly link the recruiting services with the ATS services. Processes and systems in accord with some examples include a talent platform exchange system, a first integrated interface for the ATS services to provide direct access to the recruiter's candidate pool and a second integrated interface for the staffing services to provide direct access to the ATS database of job requisitions.

[0077]It is to be appreciated that examples of the methods and apparatuses discussed herein are not limited in application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illus...

Abstract

Improved systems and methods of facilitating placement of candidates between employers and recruiters are provided. In various implementations, such systems and methods provide an integrated interface within the ATS platform for employers and integrated interface within the talent platforms for recruiters. In another implementation, a talent platform exchange is provided that permits disparate talent platforms to communicate and thus more effectively manage the hiring process from within the platform. To this end, interfaces and other components may be provided which facilitate communication between talent platforms and a talent platform exchange. Such communication capability would enable a direct hire marketplace where employers engage recruiters to fill positions through their presently implemented ATSs.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 543,609, entitled “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING A TALENT PLATFORM EXCHANGE,” filed on Oct. 5, 2011, which application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]Aspects of the present invention disclosed herein relate generally to systems and methods for managing recruitment and hiring efforts and more particularly to apparatus and processes for managing and facilitating the placement of candidates between employers and recruiters.[0004]2. Discussion of Related Art[0005]Often, companies seeking to fill job openings use employing systems referred to in the art as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), commercially available from ATS companies (e.g., the BrassRing talent platform available from Kenexa, Wayne, Pa., the Bullhorn ATS available from Bullhorn, Boston, Mass.). Such ATSs handle job applications and...
