The Beacon Group, an authority and global pioneer in the field of organizational development, helps you keep your application process focused and on track with its new Applicant Management System (AMS). AMS is a web-based recruiting, validation and selection process that allows clients to create a bank of potential employee candidates using a quantifiable, deliberate and objective recruiting process. This allows you to secure a better quality of candidate as well as reduce costly turnover. Companies no longer have to recruit and fill individual positions.   AMS stores potential qualified candidates so that when a need is identified, potential candidates are immediately available. The process has the ability to filter out some applicants and allows successful applicants to be stored in a database that can be accessed by the client at anytime and from anywhere. "The Applicant Management system is meant to consolidate, centralize and focus recruiting efforts to free up HR resources for higher value priorities, and significantly reduce turnover," says Kyle Couch, Vice-President of client learning experience at The Beacon Group. Features include: ·    Web-based candidate access and reporting administration ·    Multi dimensional and adjustable screening filter ·    Customized assessment content ·    Centralized on-line statistical and demographic reporting ·    Standardized document management ·    Streamlined processing ·    Modernization of the corporate recruiting process ·    Recruiting for expansion into new locations ·    Special recruiting campaigns The Beacon Group will be exhibiting the system at the 2008 Innovate HRPAO conference in Toronto,  January 30 - February 1. A demo version of the system will be located in booth No.833. Ram Charan, Ian Thomas and other prominent industry professionals will attend as guest speakers. Clients including Mercedes-Benz, McDonald's Canada, Scotiabank, Air Miles, CTV Globemedia and Manulife Financial have used The Beacon Group's services to grow their businesses.   For more information visit www.thebeacongroup.ca.
