New SonicFeedback and SonicParser Added to SonicRecruit, Cytiva’s Highly Respected Talent Acquisition Solution

Features provide new help for organizations to deal with the increased number of candidates associated with higher unemployment.

Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) February 26, 2009

Cytiva Software Inc. (CRX;TSX.V), a leading provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) talent management solutions, announced today the availability of new features for its talent acquisition solution.

New SonicFeedback allows organizations to create and assign feedback forms to any step of the recruiting process and gather key data to better manage their hiring. In keeping with SonicRecruit’s tradition of providing highly flexible solutions, the uses of SonicFeedback are extensive. Some examples of how organizations can use SonicFeedback are:

•     Gathering and analyzing structured information from interviewers for use in the evaluation of candidates
•     Getting structured feedback from applicants to evaluate their overall satisfaction with the hiring process, fringe benefits, employment brand effectiveness, recruiter professionalism, and more
•     Gathering feedback from new hires regarding the onboarding and orientation process

Just in time to help organizations deal with the large increase in resume flow due to increased unemployment is the new SonicParser. SonicParser is Cytiva’s new proprietary resume parsing technology that allows recruiters to forward emailed resumes into their applicant tracking system. From a simple email, SonicParser reads the resume and pulls out key information, creates a candidate record in the applicant tracking system, and prepopulates the candidate’s information. SonicParser can read and parse multiple resumes and is highly flexible in automatically assigning job codes and recruiter ownership as it creates candidate records.

Though SonicRecruit has offered a similar feature for many years, much of it has been provided by a 3rd party. New SonicParser provides greater accuracy and much faster availability of candidate records. Further, SonicParser allows Cytiva to enhance the capability of its resume parsing to better match the needs of its entire talent management suite in the future.

“SonicFeedback and SonicParser are examples of the kind of regular enhancements we provide our clients at no extra cost, with no upgrades necessary,” said Jason Moreau, CEO of Cytiva. “This is the payoff of the Software as a Service business model for clients – easy and frequent enhancements, and added value throughout the life of the relationship.”

“A lack of resume parsing, or just plain bad resume parsing makes a recruiter’s life harder, and can kill the application process for candidates trying to easily apply for your open positions online,” said Jennifer Fray, Vice President of Client Services for Cytiva. “We’ve received positive feedback from clients about the increased speed and accuracy of SonicParser.”

SonicFeedback and SonicParser are available immediately to all SonicRecruit clients.
