-- At IHRIM -- Restrac and IntelliMatch form partnership to bring job applicants and companies together on the Internet; Relationship extends Restrac ConnecTeam Internet capabilities.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 1996-- Restrac, Inc., a leading provider of client/server-based staffing solutions for human resources management, and IntelliMatch, a leading Internet service for matching job seekers and employers, today announced an alliance that will link the two companies' technologies and give corporations access to a large pool of qualified candidates nationwide. As part of the strategy of Restrac's ConnecTeam Partner Program, users of Restrac Hire software will be able to post job openings automatically to the IntelliMatch database on the World Wide Web, and receive resumes that are e-mailed over the Internet in response to those openings. The resumes will then become part of the posting company's Restrac Hire database, which is used to select and hire the most qualified applicants from the resumes received.

The partnership with IntelliMatch extends and complements Restrac's ConnecTeam product strategy designed to electronically connect all participants in the hiring process -- from job applicants to hiring managers. For IntelliMatch, this relationship extends the benefits of its unique service and structured resume builder to a wider audience both via the Internet and Intranet.

"In Restrac's continued effort to form partnerships with Internet-based staffing content providers, we look forward to working with IntelliMatch to enable Restrac customers to source applicants using the increased efficiency and powerful functionality of the WWW," said Charles A. Borwick, vice president of marketing at Restrac.

"It is clear that the Internet and Intranet are becoming an integral part of the human resources function," said Mike Silvester, vice president of sales and marketing for IntelliMatch. "The agreement between Restrac and IntelliMatch is intended to provide increased access to the vast resources of the Web, as well as facilitate easier functionality. We look forward to working with Restrac to connect all involved in the hiring process electronically."

Linking Job Applicants and Companies Electronically

Through the agreement with IntelliMatch, users of Restrac will be able to automatically post jobs directly to the IntelliMatch World Wide Web site with the click of a mouse.

Once on IntelliMatch, the job posting will become accessible to the more than 12 million World Wide Web users. Using IntelliMatch's PC-based structured resume generator -- WATSON -- applicants can enter all the information found in a conventional resume. WATSON then structures the data into a standardized format for easy comparison, and gathers more detailed and precise data on applicant skills.

The combination of Restrac's enterprise-wide, client/server staffing solutions and IntelliMatch's Web-based recruitment services constitute a major step in the direction of electronically connecting all participants in the hiring process -- from applicants to hiring managers.

Restrac Hire

Restrac Hire, one of three components of the Restrac Enterprise total staffing solution, provides the most advanced technology for automating the staffing process. Leading companies such as Anheuser-Busch, Dow Chemical and Pitney Bowes use Restrac Hire to post job requisitions internally and externally, and then manage the entire staffing process from selection to hire. Resumes can be e-mailed, faxed or scanned into the Restrac Hire database, where they are converted to text. Sophisticated artificial intelligence software automatically locates specific data to create a record for each applicant, eliminating manual data entry. An extensive skills library allows the user to create custom queries of the applicant database for specific positions. Restrac Hire locates the best candidates and ranks them according to how well their experience meets the desired criteria. Restrac Hire incorporates advanced workflow, document management and communications tools to enable the staffing team to efficiently manage the entire hiring process. Other Restrac Enterprise systems automate succession planning and skills management, and temporary and contract staffing.

Restrac's ConnecTeam Strategy

Restrac's ConnecTeam strategy is designed to streamline interactions between hiring managers, HR professionals and applicants by electronically linking all participants in the hiring process. The partnership with IntelliMatch is one of many agreements Restrac will be implementing to offer further ConnecTeam capabilities.
