Eagle Introduces Innovative New Online System – Virtual Recruiter
National Source and Screen Service Helps Organizations with Recruitment
Ottawa, ON, March 11, 2011 – Less than a year since its official launch, Eagle’s Virtual Recruiter, Canada’s first nation-wide source and screen service, is demonstrating tremendous growth. This week, Eagle implemented an automated online service system to keep up with the overwhelming demand for Virtual Recruiter. This online system will increase efficiencies and enable clients to receive results more quickly and easily.
Virtual Recruiter (www.virtualrecruiter.ca) is one of Eagle’s latest innovative contributions to the staffing industry and offers companies an affordable alternative to the standard staffing model. For a fixed price, hiring managers submit a job description online, which is then posted to Eagle’s extended job posting network. After the posting period, an experienced Recruiter reviews all resumes received and sends them to the hiring manger, along with a shortlisted recommendation of the top applicants. This allows hiring managers to immediately focus on the most qualified matches to their needs.
The feedback from Virtual Recruiter’s users has been very positive. One HR Recruiter for a mid-size oil and gas company commented: “We’ve tried a lot of different online recruitment techniques and Virtual Recruiter is the best one out there. Nowhere else can we get our IT jobs this kind of exposure, especially with passive and qualified candidates, and get help with the resume screening for such a great price.”
“We’re a small company with no real HR department and we don’t hire many IT staff,” said another manager for a manufacturing company. “I have no time to read through the stack of resumes we get from job boards but we don’t have the budget to hire an agency. Virtual Recruiter is the perfect combination that saved us significant amounts of time and money.”
“Virtual Recruiter offers more companies – big and small – the benefits of Eagle’s network of IT professionals and our presence in the IT industry across Canada,” said CEO Kevin Dee. “We are very pleased to expand the functionality of this service increasing its accessibility and ease of use.”
Virtual Recruiter focuses mainly on IT-related jobs; however, growth plans include source and screen services in Finance and Accounting and Management Consulting, Eagle’s other specialty areas.
