The approach we've taken to the CRM vs. ATS conundrum is that each represents a different workflow. So we built a workflow design tool that allows each customer to build and use multiple workflows. Typically that's for CRM (sales/BD, sourcing, tal...

Thank you for your response. I’m not sure which of the three categories you describe I would fall into. I suppose what I want is a low cost fully integrated solution that includes ATS and CRM capabilities. The question, as always, is which tradeof...

Why user interface matters and why you should care

Having spent the last nine months building our Recruiting CRM application to interface with many different systems I've been given the unique opportunity to look inside many different HR and recruiting software applications commercially available on the market. I've also had the chance to respond to many RFP's, RFI's, and product bake-offs with competitors. I'm continually blown away at how poorly designed many of these applications are from a users perspective (but not entirely surprised given… Continue

Cash is king...

We've all heard the phrase "cash is king" and probably hear that today more than ever. Why? Keep in mind that this is overly general but I'm just trying to illustrate a point. In today's economy we hear a lot about companies that borrowed extensively to fuel their growth and now the underlying assets that secured those loans are worth a lot less.

Resume as a Tag Cloud

If you don't know what a tag cloud is go to wikipedia first.

Does it have any relevance? Could you ever see this as a useful tool? Why or why not? Let's hear what you think.

Tags vs. folders

According to website del.icio.us, "Folders were the old way to organize your bookmarks. They were great if you only had a few bookmarks and a few folders, but as your collection grew, it became harder and harder to decide what goes where. Delicious has a new and better way: tags."

Tags were also popularized by Flickr - the photo sharing website - as a way in which to categorize photos - who's in them, when they were taken, where they were taken, by season, holiday, event type, etc. - for easy r… Continue

Since you are from Oregon - absolutely. Unfortunately this month is pretty booked - can we shoot for January? I have the 2nd week still with availability. Touch base with me the first of the year and we will get it scheduled.
