Hannaford Bros. Co. Selects Recruiternet's Projectix Solution for Integrated Store-Based Hourly and Salaried Hiring
Food and drug store leader chooses Projectix to power store- based hourly hiring, streamline and integrate hourly and salaried hiring workflow processes, and share applicant information among regional areas.
Portland, Maine, August 15, 2005 - Recruiternet, a leading provider of integrated solutions for managing corporate hiring strategies, today announced that Hannaford Bros. Co. has selected its Projectix applicant tracking and talent management solution. The supermarket chain will deploy Projectix to power both store-based hourly hiring as well as company-wide salaried recruiting efforts. By integrating both hourly and salary hiring workflow processes on a single platform, Projectix will help Hannaford meet increased workforce demands prompted by company growth as well as anticipated tightening in the hiring market.
"We're positioning ourselves to have the best processes in place for hiring, and that means no longer having an applicant walking in the door to fill out a paper application," says Kevin Carleton, Director of Retail Automation for Hannaford. The company chose Projectix for its ability to manage store-based hiring as well as salaried hiring, integrate seamlessly with its HR platform for hiring and onboarding salaried and hourly workers, to boost its online presence, and to improve applicant sharing among regional divisions.
- Store-based hiring tools: In addition to its industry-leading salaried hiring management features, Projectix offers a full suite of store-based hourly hiring tools. Projectix combines in-store deployment options, tax credit screening, automated hourly employment applications, simplified store-based hiring manager interfaces and a flexible offering of workflow support and reporting tools, allowing companies to create an hourly hiring methodology tailored to their business process.
- Integration: Because it integrates both hourly and salaried hiring and connects seamlessly with multiple HR workflow systems, the Projectix solution will be a hub of the hiring workflow process for Hannaford. "Our applicants fill out forms once, and the information automatically populates our data base," says Carleton.
- Online presence: Projectix's online application process will enable Hannaford to ease the process for applicants.
- Applicant data sharing: Hannaford relies on smooth rollouts for new stores, and must manage changes in seasonal workflow for its diverse geographical locations. "We need to share data among our regional locations," says Carleton. "With Projectix, we can take advantage of that information."
- Retention: The online functionality of Projectix will connect existing employees to new opportunities within the company. "With Projectix, we will be able to provide the information to help our associates manage their careers," says Carleton. "They can access opportunities and understand the skills they need for positions they aspire to."
"Today's leading companies are looking beyond point solutions that address only a part of their pre-hire landscape to solutions that create an integrated hiring workflow process for all workers - including salaried, hourly, and contingent labor. Having the flexibility to power different types of hiring and different hiring processes across a company is critical to successfully addressing today's business challenges and future workforce demands," said Robert Neveu, President and Founder of Recruiternet. "We are pleased that Hannaford Bros. Co. has chosen the Projectix solution to help it meet its growing hiring demands."
Projectix's comprehensive, integrated hiring workflow solution includes its recently announced Monster Premier ATS Alliance Membership, background checking, behavioral assessments, tax screening and a variety of other client specific service collaborations. As one of the only solutions to offer both hourly and salaried hiring, Projectix has also been consistently ranked as a leading applicant tracking solution by independent sources. Gartner, AMR, Workforce Management and ERExchange have all included Projectix in their analyses of leading solution providers.
