Standout Jobs’ Recruitment Communication Platform is a do-it-yourself interactive career site that uses video, blogging, chat and widgets to showcase and brand a company’s culture and team to potential recruits. These social media tools and principles attract and engage high value job candidates based on their talents and cultural fit with the company. The solution includes candidate relationship management features for HR managers to identify, interact with and track candidates. Delivered as an on-demand solution, the Standout Jobs’ Recruitment Communication Platform integrates with existing sites or operates as a stand-alone web site.

Enhancements and new features to the Recruitment Communication Platform include:

* Modular architecture – Although seamless to the user, the Recruitment Communication Platform enjoys an updated, modular architecture to support integration with other top HR products, including applicant tracking systems and job distribution software, thereby protecting an enterprise’s previous HR software investments while allowing them to upgrade to the latest Web 2.0 technologies.
* Community Correspondence – Email distribution of job postings to an organization’s entire contact list, to make the most of “who you know” for recruiting.

Standout Jobs’ Recruitment Communication Platform also provides:
