“Staffing Technology: Accelerating Staffing Firm Success”
Fargo, ND — November 22, 2010 —Professional Advantage’s staffing software solution, 1Staff, was highlighted in a recent Microsoft white paper titled “Staffing Technology: Accelerating Staffing Firm Success.”
The white paper explains how staffing firms are increasing their reliance on
staffing software from technology vendors. It states, ‘Staffing firms recognize that they are not in the technology business; they are in the human capital business. Firms have a growing desire to partner with third-parties to get the technology solutions and services they need.’
‘In the past, staffing firms had no choice but to build custom, enterprise solutions for core business processes because scalable, flexible solutions were not commercially available. Staffing firms have a strong preference to buy commercial software but because of the complexity of their organizations and the broad set of services they offer, they need flexible and configurable solutions.’
‘As an example,
Professional Advantage provides an industry-leading
staffing software solution leveraging the Microsoft technology platform. 1Staff for Microsoft Dynamics® provides an end-to-end solution for staffing organizations from resume parsing to generating financial statements. It is designed to fully leverage the
Microsoft Dynamics platform and includes Microsoft CRM, Microsoft Dynamics GP, SQL Server, SharePoint and Outlook. Customers receive the benefit of Microsoft's research and development investment, while having a system tailored to the needs of the staffing industry.’
1Staff allows users to streamline and automate sales processes and enable sales staff to create a single view of the customer which helps ensure a shorter sales cycle, higher close rates and improved customer retention. Sales professionals are able to quickly access useful data so they can work efficiently and spend more time selling. Recruiters will benefit from online document storage and access using Windows SharePoint Services, resume parsing and advanced search features to fill job orders faster.
