hand touching virtual screenThe International Association of Employment Web Sites (IAEWS) recently announced the semi-finalists for the 2014 Recruiting Service Innovation Awards (the ReSIs). According to the IAEWS, the “awards are the first accolade to recognize ground-breaking sourcing and recruiting products and services that help employers achieve recruiting excellence by optimizing the capabilities and performance of their recruiters.”

Companies making up the semi-finalists represent a range of countries, including Canada, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the U.S., and represent both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.

The 17 semi-finalists include:

  • Adicio
  • JobTarget
  • AON Hewitt
  • OnRecruit
  • Careerify
  • PracticeLink (2 selections)
  • EnchantedCareers
  • The Sourcing Institute
  • HarQen
  • Start Date Labs
  • HRBoss
  • tapABILITY.org
  • iCIMS (2 selections)
  • Work4
  • Innotrieve

Reports state that the employment services industry is projected to grow $490.1 billion by the end of 2016.  The ReSIs will recognize and promote this growth, which the IAWES says is being led by a surge of technological advances producing numerous new recruitment products and services.

During the next phase of the selection process, each semi-finalist will submit a list of recruiters who have used the company’s products or services; the selection committee will then survey users to assess their experiences.  Platinum, Gold and Silver winners for 2014 will be selected thereafter based on users’ input and the initial evaluation scores, and each winner will be announced at a gala reception to be held at the conclusion of the SHRM Annual Convention & Expo on June 25, 2014, in Orlando, FL.

“The ReSIs recognize those solutions that provide a value-add to improve the recruiter experience,” said Nan Weitzmann, Americas talent acquisition leader at Hewlett Packard and a member of the 2014 ReSIs Selection Committee. “When recruiters are more effective and productive, the hiring process moves more quickly and enhances the overall candidate and hiring experience.”

The ReSIs also plan to collect and publish research on the best practices for supporting recruiting excellence in an increasingly competitive and global talent marketplace.
