1.     Introducing Summit Software’s New Product: SSWeb

DOES YOUR WEB SITE GIVE YOUR COMPANY A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?

Summit Software is offering just such an advantage. A low monthly cost and a simple link from your existing website will have your company’s job board hosted and enabled! Development costs are done away with - setup is quick and simple!

Dave Lefkow writes, Your recruiting team's job is to persuade candidates that your company's specific opportunities are right for them. And this same standard needs to be applied to your employment site. Too often, employment sites present rather than persuade, inform rather than convince. (www.erexchange.com article dated 02/07/01)

Encourage recruiters to write informative Job Descriptions in each Job Order they create. SSWeb will post them with a few clicks. 

Selected respondents to a job posting are imported into StaffSoft becoming instant Applicants in your database. Typing and administration cost are lowered instantly!

Call 800-856-9696 and ask for a review of SSWeb.

3.    Commonly Asked Questions 

Applicants Screen: What is the Company ID field?

Many StaffSoft users have large corporate clients or government agencies that require a specific identification code per temporary worker printed on the invoice next to the worker’s name. With this field, users no longer need to edit each invoice of these special clients before printing.
Any characters placed in this field will be prefixed on that worker’s listing in any invoice!

Job Orders: When I add someone to a candidate list their score comes up 999!?

This is new! A score of 999 indicates a candidate was MANUALLY added or the result of a Key Word Search. This makes these special additions easily identifiable!
