SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 18, 2000

Recruitsoft (www.recruitsoft.com), the leading provider of Web-based hiring management systems for large corporations, announced today that ATS (Advanced Technology Services, Inc.), which provides industrial and computer services to Fortune 500 companies, has chosen its Recruiter WebTop(TM) application to power the company's online recruiting.

"A premier provider of technology services, ATS is a fast-growth company that relies on new employees to contribute quickly to its proven leadership in customer service and reliability," said Louis Tetu, CEO of Recruitsoft. "With Recruiter WebTop, we will increase the volume of candidates for ATS, pre-screen them and provide a short list of highly qualified candidates directly to its recruiters' desktop--or wireless device--in real time. This enables recruiters to spend more quality time with the ACE candidates--and therefore hire the most suitable individuals who will have the shortest time to contribution, at the lowest cost."

"ATS focuses on delivering quality technology services, and our candidates need specialized skill sets, which Recruitsoft will help us to identify," said Christina Cannon, Recruiting Team Leader of Advanced Technology Services. "We were impressed with the results Recruitsoft's Recruiter WebTop solution produces for large technology companies, and we feel that it will optimize our ability to hire top talent quickly and efficiently."

Recruiter WebTop(TM) powers the career Web pages of large corporations and provides a complete business application over the Internet that supports every aspect of the corporate recruiting process, from requisition management, skills-based profiling and email alerts about ACE candidates, to candidate background checking and communication management. Recruiter WebTop uses a proprietary pre-screening methodology based on skills assessment, making it easier for candidates and recruiters alike to manage the entire recruiting process. By targeting the right candidates, pre-screening them, and managing the entire process to allow the corporate recruiter to spend more time conducting in-depth candidate interviews and assessment, Recruitsoft helps to increase retention rates and reduce time to contribution for new employees.
