Introduce a campaign superstructure that frees you from the Job-Centric ATS design and lets you build pipelines based on the profiles of successful employees across multiple geographies and skill sets. Develop interactive marketing and E-mail campaigns, mine the Internet and Job Board’s with ease, and construct and execute targeted passive candidate campaigns quickly. Empower your users to reach into professional networks, expert forums, and blogs to develop high-value pipelines of talent that your competitors would die for. Motivate diverse teams throughout the world to identify, connect, and follow-up on multiple sets of talented professionals simultaneously. Manage, measure, and reward the behavior that delivers the results you need. INTRODUCTION | 2
