HireIQ Selected by jobs4america to Help Put more Americans to Work
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 28, 2015 -- HireIQ Solutions, the innovative leader in predictive analytics and virtual talent acquisition solutions for customer-facing organizations, today announced that it has been selected by jobs4america to support its unique workforce and economic development program. The jobs4america initiative is expected to identify, prepare, and place qualified participants into contact center positions with leading U.S.-based companies.
“Our concept is to recruit and select motivated candidates into a four-week paid training program for qualified participants in partnership with local workforce development offices. Graduating students will receive an accredited certificate of completion and a job placement offer from a leading company within the contact center industry,” said Jack Wilkie, president and chief executive officer of jobs4america.
HireIQ streamlines the early-stage candidate screening process for jobs where communication, language, and critical thinking skills are vital for success, such as those in today’s high-technology, omnichannel contact center. jobs4america will use HireIQ’s inventive Predictive Placement candidate screening technology which automatically matches candidates with their best-fit jobs based on their responses to an online virtual interview.
“Although the contact center industry has remained remarkably resilient throughout the recent economic downturn, many companies still struggle to effectively select applicants who will be long-tenured, high-performing employees,” remarked Kevin Hegebarth, vice president of Marketing for HireIQ Solutions. “jobs4america’s strategy of presenting pre-screened and pre-trained candidates will provide these companies with new employees who will be effective from day one.”
Details regarding timing and announcement of the initial market will be shared at the Washington Summit. For more information about the 2015 PACE Washington Summit featuring jobs4america or to register for the event, please visit http://www.paceassociation.com or call jobs4america at 515-321-5467.
