Our Story
With over 15 years of professional experience in Asia, we know the Asian recruitment industry pretty well. Over the years, we've worn the 'hat' of internal recruiter, external vendor, hiring manager and candidate. In all of these capacities, it quickly became clear to us that Asian businesses not only lacked a system to manage the recruiting process, but had no way of measuring the performance of their candidate sources. The recruiting industry in Asia is in most cases reminiscent of the recruitment industry in the early 1990’s in the UK and US - fragmented offerings, high fees and seldom delivering consistent results for their clients. As the market in Asia matures, so will corporations desire for intelligent / intuative systems that are able to measure and improve their companies recruitment processes and deliver better value from their recruitment spend.
History
In 2007, SaaS appplicant tracking software products were in their infancy in the US and Europe. There were few viable applicant tracking software options available. Those that did exist were expensive and complicated to implement. More importantly, the applicant tracking software market had been created exclusively for the Western market. Typically, when an ATS was introduced to an Asian business, it was ignored by line managers and HR staff. Even with purported Asian-character capabilities, their complicated interface and awkward processes led to a poor user experience and dismal adoption rate. The end result: dissatisfied line managers and candidates, ineffective internal recruiting, poor hiring recruitment ROI.
The Future
The core HiringBoss values are simple: we're all about offering easy-to-use software that is affordable and accessible for every business. A combination of unique features and smart technology make HiringBoss the world's most dynamic contender in the arena of recruitment software . Sure, HiringBoss boasts industry-first features: a slideshow reporting function, FAQ boards, integrated interview scheduling and a revolutionary Scorecard system (to name a few). But we know first-hand that user adoption is the most important feature of all. Hi-tech features mean nothing if you have a system which employees don’t use. Adoptability is everything, which is why we've made HiringBoss so intuitive and enjoyable to use.
We have offices operating in Singapore, Japan and Vietnam, plus agressive plans for expansion in 2012. The system is currently in 2 languages with a further 12 additional languages to be released by April 2012, plus the launch of our new product for recruitment companies (StaffingBoss) we're looking forward to a busy 2012. As Asia's most exciting and fastest growing Saas recruitment software solution, we invite you to become part of the HiringBoss story.
