Ascentium Turns to Jobvite for Cost-Effective, Data-Driven eRecruitment

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jobvite, creator of next-generation recruitment solutions, today announced that Ascentium Corporation, a leading interactive marketing and technology consultancy, has selected Jobvite to power cost-effective talent acquisition and help the company make data-driven hiring decisions. Ascentium has nearly doubled its workforce in the last year and chose the Jobvite social recruitment application to speed the hiring process, encourage company collaboration and allocate recruitment spend effectively.

“With Jobvite, we’re able to measure the ROI of our recruitment spending, so we know what sources deliver for us. Not only does Jobvite help us invest our resources wisely, but it expedites the recruitment process, while keeping the bar high for candidates.”

Jobvite is the only recruitment application built to involve all employees in the hiring process and leverage their social networks to find quality candidates. Companies use the Software-as-a-Service application to reduce recruitment spend and increase the impact of existing resources.

Jobvite raises the visibility of hiring priorities and makes it easy for everyone involved to accomplish their responsibilities and objectives. Using the Jobvite social recruitment application to scan through job applicants, Ascentium will save time and improve upon the quality of candidates that come through the company’s pipeline. As Ascentium continues to grow, the company will engage their employee population in hiring highly qualified candidates. With Jobvite’s easy-to-use platform, recruiters, hiring managers and interviewers can share status updates and feedback, which provides fast, high quality information for making immediate decisions.

Previously, the staffing team at Ascentium used a variety of recruitment tactics including multiple job boards to help source candidates. Using Jobvite, Ascentium’s hiring will be supported through referrals and social networking, enabling the company to reduce its use of job boards. Jobvite automatically tracks all candidate source information, so the Ascentium team will have instant access to accurate information on the performance of various recruitment sources.

"When hiring a new employee, it is extremely important to get the best and brightest candidate in place as soon as possible,” said Jill Ranft, Director of Recruiting at Ascentium. “With Jobvite, we’re able to measure the ROI of our recruitment spending, so we know what sources deliver for us. Not only does Jobvite help us invest our resources wisely, but it expedites the recruitment process, while keeping the bar high for candidates.”

"In the current economy, companies are making pragmatic, data-driven decisions about recruitment costs," said Dan Finnigan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jobvite. "Jobvite provides real-time data on the effectiveness of recruitment spend to help customers make budget decisions that support their business objectives. We’re delighted to support the intelligent growth of Ascentium’s top-notch team.”
