Recognized for Best Advance in Unique Talent Acquisition Technology
SAN FRANCISCO – January XX, 2018 – Talent Sonar, a comprehensive talent acquisition platform that raises the bar on recruitment and selection, won a coveted Brandon Hall Group gold award for excellence in the Best Advance in Unique Talent Acquisition Technology category. Talent Sonar’s win was announced on Thursday, December 14, 2017.
Designed to eliminate unconscious bias, expand the talent pool and ensure the highest quality, best fit candidate for the organization, Talent Sonar actualizes five hiring best practices, leveraging predictive analytics across the entire hiring process in one complete, easy-to-use solution. This results in finding the person who best fits each job from a broader, more qualified pool of candidates.
“Human capital management is evolving faster than at any time in its history, and it is powered by innovative technology developed and implemented by organizations big and small,” said Rachel Cooke, chief operating officer of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program. “The technology innovators who won Excellence Awards this year were focused on providing users with a better overall experience. That is what our research says employers want, and our award winners are leading the way.”
Talent Sonar CEO Laura Mather, Ph.D, shared, “Rather than trying to change the hiring process through complex training, Talent Sonar gives organizations a tool that improves talent acquisition to naturally optimize results. It’s an honor to be recognized by the Brandon Hall Group with the Best Advance in Unique Talent Acquisition Technology for what we see as a unique approach to an all too common issue.”
Mike Cooke, CEO of Brandon Hall Group, said, “Our technology award winners are truly outstanding and set a high bar for others. We have learned a great deal from what they have accomplished. The awards programs supplement our quantitative research in providing our team with unique insights to share with our members and clients.”
