HRMDIRECT RESELLER PROGRAM PROVIDES KEY GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL RECRUITMENT FIRMS

Boston, MA, March 22, 2004 (HRMDIRECT)—While the hiring outlook for 2004 promises better opportunities for recruiters, smaller firms are always looking for tools to help them gain an edge on the competition. HRMDirect's Recruiter Reseller program is the perfect choice for account executives looking for new ways to grow their business, says director of sales Colin Kingsbury.

"Every salesperson knows it's easier to up-sell an existing client than to find a new one. Resume Direct is the ideal product to put in front of all your existing accounts. It helps streamline their hiring process tremendously, and creates a nice recurring revenue source for your bottom line," Kingsbury said.

Resume Direct, the first 100% web-based resume efficiency system designed especially for companies with 100-1000 employees, helps HR staff and hiring managers by automatically organizing and classifying all inbound resumes based on how well the applicant meets the opening's minimum and ideal requirements. Unlike conventional applicant tracking systems that try to control the entire hiring lifecycle, Resume Direct focuses on initial evaluation of applicant resumes, where the worst pain is found. Delivered as a totally browser-based application requiring no local IT support, Resume Direct provides the best enterprise-class features in a package that is accessible and attractive to a wider range of companies than ever before.

"Building Resume Direct took many thousands of hours- an effort even the largest recruiting firms would never make," Kingsbury said. "But with our Recruiter Reseller program, we'll let you sell this product as your own, without any of the difficult work of building, supporting, and hosting the application. All you're responsible for is billing."

Director of product development A.G. Gilbert added that Resume Direct isn't just for up-selling existing clients. "Many account executives I've spoken to are interested in using this as a key competitive differentiator to close new accounts. Giving your clients free access to Resume Direct as part of their relationship with you will increase your win rate, reduce days-to-hire, and create a major barrier to competitors trying to poach your clients."
