OrangeHRM Launches Integrated ATS with Interview Assistance and Decision Support

    SECAUCUS, NJ, November 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Utilizing IBM Watson technology, OrangeHRM, a U.S.-based human resources software solutions corporation, launched a beta version of #ProjectNova on October 1 at OHRM Con in New York City. #ProjectNova is an integrated applicant tracking system (ATS) that fast lanes recruiting, reduces hiring costs, and improves the candidate journey.

Making inroads into human resource settings for decades, ATS automated the recruiting process, parsing large volumes of paper--and now digital--application materials for employers. Today, integrated ATS platforms like #ProjectNova handle tasks from job posting to on-boarding.

#ProjectNova, from OrangeHRM, offers mobile interactivity to candidates and recruiters, plus extensive, comparative candidate analysis made possible by Watson.

With cognitive computing from IBM, #ProjectNova trains on data mined from multiple resources, such as LinkedIn. #ProjectNova uses this foundation to search for applicant-specific information across a wide range of social media and other accessible digital outlets.

By using and comparing the information learned with the information gained, #ProjectNova generates and delivers a personality profile for use in a variety of ways. For example, #ProjectNova creates real-time profiles and recommendations, giving HR personnel the opportunity to create side-by-side comparisons between candidates, applicants and existing employees, and between employees.

"Recruiting is getting tougher by the day; competition for talent in the market is at its highest. #ProjectNova is gearing itself with state-of-the-art technologies to provide a complete suite to ensure you hire the right candidate," says OrangeHRM Co-founder & CEO, Sujee Saparamadu. "We are arming our clients to wage talent war and help them grow in their verticals."

#ProjectNova offers broad job board coverage to targeted candidate pools locally and globally via a partnership with eQuest. Candidates can use mobile devices to easily interact and upload application materials. As the candidate funnel narrows, #ProjectNova drives the interview process through tracking, scoring, and question prompts.

In addition to effectively managing the replacement cycle and providing recruiting agility, #ProjectNova empowers HR managers to access meaningful data to create the right hiring slate, and eventually on-board the best talent for their business.
