ATLANTA, GA and MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- PageUp People™, a Multinational Talent Management solutions provider, today announced the release of its improved candidate searching function, Talent Search. Combining the simplicity and intuitiveness of a Google search with advanced drilldown functionality, Talent Search provides recruiters with a robust and easy-to-use tool to quickly search their databases and talent pools to find individuals best qualified to meet their hiring needs.

Today's large organizations can receive hundreds of thousands of applications per year from an ever-increasing number of sources, and employers are often challenged to identify top talent among these increasing candidate volumes. They can become overwhelmed and spend crucial resources when trying to search for the right candidates, even though the best individuals may already be in their system. PageUp People's highly specific search technology enables recruiters to quickly and easily mine multiple sourcing channels to zero in on the best-fit candidate for each position.

Unlike any other candidate search tool on the market, Talent Search gives recruiters the option to focus their search on candidates who have previously applied to their company. This allows recruiters to leverage the information and applicant history already on file, resulting in significant time and cost savings. As a result, they can use Talent Search as the first step of their candidate sourcing strategy to find individuals who have already expressed interest in the company, rather than the timely and costly process of searching job boards and other sources as the primary step.

Through an enhanced user interface that provides simplified searching and scanning results, Talent Search delivers easier access to all candidates while decreasing hiring costs and time to fill. Moreover, Talent Search involves no sourcing or acquisition fee, as is the case with job boards or contingency headhunters. Through this innovative and engaging tool, employers can increase their productivity by narrowing their applicant search to the top candidates, instead of spending time processing low-quality applications.

"As hiring becomes increasingly competitive, employers are receiving more applications than ever before. Organizations with search technology that enables their recruiters to leverage existing talent pools and find top talent quickly hold a significant advantage in today's market," said Karen Cariss, CEO of PageUp People. "Talent Search enables organizations to find high-quality candidates already interested in working for them, and allows them to bring them on board more quickly. As a result, employers can spend more time on building relationships and other high-value activities and less time focusing on their candidate search."
