Newest Module in the Authoria(R) 2006 Talent Management Solution Turns Talent Acquisition into Competitive Advantage for Organizations

SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 15 / -- At ER Expo 2006 Spring, Authoria, Inc., the leader in strategic talent management solutions, today introduced Authoria Recruiting, a collaborative application that optimizes the process of finding, recruiting, and retaining the "best-fit" talent for an organization.

Authoria Recruiting fosters collaboration among all participants in the staffing process, including line-of-business executives, HR executives, recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates. Role-specific dashboards present each participant with data most relevant to the task at hand, as well as just-in-time coaching based on embedded best practices. Analytics and key performance indicators provide real-time visibility into the staffing process, making it easy to evaluate the applicant pipeline and identify bottlenecks. By creating a streamlined, cost-effective, and satisfying recruiting process, Authoria Recruiting enables staffing teams to consistently deliver higher-quality candidates who perform demonstrably better over time, and thereby drive competitive advantage into their organizations.

Authoria Recruiting is a powerful tool for determining the qualities, characteristics, and sources of an organization's strategic talent, especially when used in combination with Authoria's complete talent management solution. It is an essential part of Authoria 2006, the industry-leading solution that also includes Authoria Communications(TM), Authoria Performance(TM), Authoria Salary(TM), Authoria Incentive(TM), and Authoria Succession(TM). Authoria uniquely enables enterprises that want to address staffing requirements holistically, or have sophisticated requirements -- such as integrating internal and external talent sources into a seamless interface -- to meet those needs, by combining Authoria Recruiting with Authoria Performance and/or Authoria Succession.

"At Raytheon, our business depends on our ability to attract, develop and retain scientists and other highly specialized, highly trained employees," said John Malanowski, Vice President, Talent Acquisition and Corporate Human Resources at Raytheon, the leading aerospace and defense systems supplier. "A long-term perspective on the talent-management lifecycle, which follows employees from hiring to retiring, is essential to our talent pipeline and our strategic talent-management initiatives."

Key features within Authoria Recruiting include:
o Role-based dashboards: ensure that each participant in the staffing process sees all information that's relevant to them in a form they can use, with just-in-time coaching on the next steps in the process (based on embedded knowledge of recruiting best practices).
o Integrated screening, testing, and assessments: provide standardized evaluation of candidates -- which is more consistent, compliant, and accurate -- at the lowest possible cost per hire.
o Usability enhancements: make the complex process of recruiting simple, by leveraging Authoria's experience with zero-training user-interface design and enterprise rollouts.
o Improved ease-of-use for recruiters: keeps recruiters better informed and prepared, via real-time views of the candidate pipeline as well as current and planned openings.
o Unparalleled collaborative tools for hiring managers: engages them throughout the staffing process, gives them just-in-time coaching and richer information about candidates, and facilitates communication with recruiters.
o Common interface across Authoria 2006: all components of the Authoria 2006 talent management solution share a consistent look-and-feel.

Authoria Recruiting also provides advanced candidate-sourcing and permission-based marketing tools, which are becoming increasingly important as the labor market continues to tighten.

"The tightening labor market is heating up the war for talent," said Michael Galyen, Director of Product Management for Authoria Recruiting, "and those organizations that are able to create private talent pools of top-tier applicants with whom they've forged a relationship will possess a significant competitive advantage. Authoria Recruiting puts this weapon in our customers' arsenals."
