AccuWeather Maximizes Recruitment ROI with Jobvite

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jobvite, creator of next-generation recruitment solutions, today announced that AccuWeather, Inc. (AccuWeather.com), the World’s Weather Authority^®, has chosen Jobvite to maximize recruitment ROI and increase employee referrals. Jobvite enables visibility into the efficiency of AccuWeather’s existing recruitment efforts, such as job board postings and employee referrals. Jobvite’s clean and elegant Web 2.0 platform allows AccuWeather to easily involve all employees in finding the best talent.

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 (SaaS) application to reduce recruitment spending and increase the impact of existing resources.

AccuWeather has seen growth in virtually every year of its 46-year history and has rigorous ongoing staffing requirements to meet the demands of that growth. Jobvite helps AccuWeather to provide the best possible online candidate experience, while recruiters can easily manage communication and workflow. The drag-and-drop reporting interface featured in Jobvite Analytics allows AccuWeather to easily compare the value of various recruitment methods.

AccuWeather’s employee base is spread around the world, so the organization values the ability to take action on a candidate recommendation or job requisition through email and via BlackBerry. Jobvite allows the recruiting team to develop a pool of candidates through social networking and referrals from their own staff, keep track of appropriate candidates and bring them to the forefront of the recruitment process on short notice.

“AccuWeather is a world leader in an extremely competitive business. In order to achieve the accuracy that is our namesake, we need to recruit the best possible candidates,” said Christina Marshall, Director of Human Resources at AccuWeather. “Now we’re more able than ever to leverage referrals from our great team because Jobvite provides an easy way for employees to make referrals from their social networks. I would much rather enable our referral bonus program than any other paid recruitment method.”

“In today’s business landscape, smart companies like AccuWeather can leverage social recruitment to cost-effectively find the best talent,” said Dan Finnigan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jobvite. “Referral hires are the highest quality, longest lasting, lowest cost hires. With Jobvite, every employee can make an important contribution to finding top talent with very little effort.”
