Cytiva Announces New Advanced Candidate Search Suite For SonicRecruit

Cytiva Software Inc, a provider of on-demand recruiting software solutions, announced today the addition of powerful new candidate search functionality to its SonicRecruit talent acquisition system.

This new suite of search tools helps recruiters more efficiently find great candidates within their SonicRecruit talent pool. As mid to large sized organizations maximize their talent acquisition efforts through recruiting systems like SonicRecruit, they can quickly build extremely large talent pools that become quite valuable in reducing advertising and recruiting fees. Yet these talent pools are only valuable if an organization can quickly and reliable mine them for crucial skills and qualifications as new positions become available.

According to Kevin Martin, Research Director, Human Capital Management at Aberdeen Group, ìthe top challenge that companies face when it comes to employees is ìfinding the right talent when needed.î SonicRecruitís new conceptual, proximity and inflectional suite of search tools help mine these vast talent pools to uncover instant candidates.

Hereís how they work:

Relevancy Search: The relevancy search looks for a keyword or a combination of keywords and ranks how often they appear, and takes into consideration the size of the candidate profile (a small profile with 10 matches is considered a better match than a huge profile with 11). The relevancy feature is used with regular, proximity, inflectional and conceptual searches.

Proximity Search: The proximity search looks for all keywords and ranks how close they appear to one another, how often they appear, and takes into consideration the size of the candidate profile.

Inflectional Search: The inflectional search looks for male/female and singular/plural versions of a word (i.e., a search for ìActorî returns ìActor, Actress, Actors, Actressesî) and for verb conjugations (i.e., a search for ìgoî will return ìgo, going, went, goneî).

Conceptual Search: The conceptual search - which can be used with the regular and inflectional searches - allows clients to create their own customizable thesaurus of synonyms. Group terms together (i.e., ìVB, VBScript, Visual Basicî or ìManager, Supervisor, Directorî) and a search for one item will return profiles with any other synonym in the group. Thereís no limit to the number of groups clients can create.

ìFor many SonicRecruit clients needing specialized skill sets, the impending talent shortage is already here in a big way,î said Jason Moreau, CEO of Cytiva. ìThe ability to more quickly locate, communicate with, and hire top talent is a key requirement and these new features will ensure SonicRecruit clients can easily find the right talent when needed.î

The new suite of SonicRecruit search tools is currently available to all SonicRecruit clients.
