LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 1998--AlliedSignal Inc. and Interactive Search Inc. (I-Search) Tuesday announced a co-development agreement to design and deploy an enterprisewide applicant-tracking service (ATS) for AlliedSignal.

When complete, the integrated AlliedSignal ATS will be maintained by I-Search under an outsourcing agreement and provide a full set of ATS capabilities, including resume processing, resume search and retrieval, requisition creation, requisition management, job posting, applicant tracking, reporting, and links to AlliedSignal's human- resource information systems.

"We are convinced that today the Internet is the right platform on which to build AlliedSignal's next-generation staffing system," said Patrick Feehan Archbishop Patrick A.

He served as the fifth Bishop and first Archbishop of Chicago between 1880 and 1902, during which the church in Chicago was elevated to an archdiocese. , manager of corporate staffing, AlliedSignal.

"It is a technology platform that requires virtually no additional hardware or internal infrastructure costs. And it will allow us to minimize ongoing costs. We selected I-Search as our partner in this effort because they have clearly demonstrated high levels of customer service and the ability to use Internet technology to deliver robust integrated staffing solutions."

"Our staff will continue to concentrate on attracting and hiring the best possible people to build AlliedSignal's future, while I-Search will focus on maintaining and supporting the companywide applicant-tracking service."
