It’s a good thing NFL teams are beholden to OFCCP Compliance

May 20, 2013 By Leave a Comment

It’s a good thing NFL teams are beholden to OFCCP compliance. ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd suggested that when GMs for NFL teams are interviewing potential players, they should be able to ask any question they feel will help them determine the success potential of that player for their team. Jeff Baker, Vice President and Partner at Pinnacle HR Consulting Services, a Newton partner, agreed but warned how it could be different if interviewing with a federal contractor rather than an NFL team. He also worked in a quick plug for Pinnacle HR Consulting Services.

If you are not already familiar with Pinnacle HR Consulting, the firm is the industry leader of affirmative action planning and recruitment compliance consulting. In short, Jeff and his team create affirmative action plans for employers to ensure OFCCP and EEOC compliance.  Earlier this year Newton and Pinnacle announced a strategic partnership. Read the press release here.

Through our partnership, the experts at Pinnacle will be available to provide strategic recruitment compliance and affirmative action consulting with a keen understanding of the Newton Applicant Tracking System.

The Secret to Hiring Manager Adoption

September 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment

 

hiringmanagerChoosing the best applicant tracking software for your organization can be a confusing experience. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s important. Most vendors have a sweet spot, a set of features that address at least one critical part of the hiring process. Sit through a couple of PowerPoint presentations with sales engineers clicking through their demo scripts and lots of us are back to where we started: unsure of what to think and what really matters.

My advice is to forget about the feature checklists and focus on the big picture, end user adoption. For employers, there are very few other fundamental concepts that matter more. If your line managers consistently use your applicant tracking platform to request and initiate approvals, you’ve addressed the paper processes at the very beginning of the talent chain and created a layer of exception management that can only exist in a digital environment. Even more critical, if hiring managers consistently help drive the decisions that drive today’s hiring programs and do so on any platform effortlessly, you’ve got a solution that will make everyone happy.

Here’s another reason to focus on manager adoption as key concept driving your ATS selection. If you’re like most HR and recruiting leaders, metrics have become the front and center topic especially when you’ve recently invested in technology. I am not talking about “big data”. I am talking about measuring what matters most like are you getting candidates the managers want to speak with? How are you processing those applicants? How long does it take your line managers to make decisions?

Remember, hiring manager input is necessary to gather the most important metrics. If the recruiting and HR users are the only ones using your system, it’s only logical that the system will capture metrics exclusively from administrative users. This won’t yield helpful insights without significant data manipulation (you know, building spreadsheets by hand on Fridays). Only when hiring managers are consistently using an ATS will you be able to get holistic recruiting performance metrics that will help you automatically generate reports and have the knowledge to pinpoint bottlenecks and areas for improvement.

As you create your ATS shortlist, ask yourself: what system will garner the most adoption amongst all of my users? What system is the easiest to use and will be the easiest to roll out to new managers and interviewers joining the organization every week? What system will make the most sense from day one and require the least training? Whether or not your hiring managers will adopt an ATS shouldn’t even be a question.

Here are 5 tips to help you choose applicant tracking software that will promote user adoption.

1. Choose an ATS that works on every platform that your managers work on and remember that many people want to work on the iPads these days.

2. Shop for usability. You won’t make ATS software easier to use by buying the product with the most bells and whistles.

3. Hiring managers balk at complicated training. Any ATS that requires extensive training will only be adopted by a small number of users.

4. Remember, only features that provide the best user experience will be used. Expecting managers to do too much is a recipe for failure.

5. The 90/10 rule applies to user adoption. Choose an ATS that does well what your hiring managers do 90% of the time. Hint: think about how easy it is to review resumes and make decisions.

Here’s how we do it at Newton Software

Green is Go. Red is No.®

April 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Hiring is, at its simplest, a linear process, characterized by discrete stages that are driven by yes and no decisions.  The easiest way to hire people faster is to eliminate wasted steps in your recruiting process and reduce periods of inactivity i.e. waiting. We design Newton to standardize the process of hiring by removing inefficient activities (i.e., friction) from the hiring process, reducing periods of inactivity (wasted time) and promoting decision making. Green is Go. Red is No.®

Here’s how it works:


Organizations that choose Newton get more than an easy-to-use applicant tracking system. They get a platform that’s designed around a proven, fully optimized workflow that promotes collaboration, captures critical data for compliance, and provides game-changing analytics. It’s not just a tool … it’s an infrastructure for recruiting.

HR and Recruiters are the New Marketers

December 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Lately,  I’ve been thinking a lot about the intersection of human resources and marketing and how critical it is these days for HR and Recruiting professionals to think like marketers.  Admittedly, I didn’t invent this concept.  Rather, I was turned on to the idea by a London-based recruitment firm Dylan. With help from Tom Fishburne, a.k.a the Marketoonist ( by the way, a friend and former co-worker of my wife’s), the notion that HR’s role as marketers is brought alive in a speech that he gave earlier this year in London.

During his talk, Tom points out that one of the ways that we as HR and recruiting practitioners can start embracing our roles as marketers is to avoid silos. That is, we can’t operate under the pretense that marketing is not our responsibility. Marketing is everyone’s responsibility. As employees we all need have the ability to concisely communicate our corporate story. And, as HR and recruiting professionals , we of all people, need to be the ambassadors of our employment brand able to convey our organization’s unique qualities, advantages and mission expertly.  After all, our job is no longer just to ‘process’ people. Our job is to ‘influence’ people.

Job requisition management isn’t t just for large companies anymore.  Now small and medium sized businesses can leverage Newton to create user friendly, effective job requisition approval processes. Designed by recruiting industry experts (like the rest of our product), our latest feature enhancement is our answer to the rigid, nonintuitive requisition management tools prevalent in most applicant tracking systems.

Our products team has been working on this feature for over a year and they’ll be the first to tell you that Job Approval Management is a full product in itself. Those of us on the marketing side of the house are proud of our product team’s effort and congratulate them on shipping their 4th major release of the year – unheard of in the HR Technology industry.  And, they’re not done. Rumor has it (hint) they’ve started working on Newton Mobile and a host of other useful features that we know will be equally elegant and thoughtful.

Here is a preview of Newton’s Job Requisition Approval Manager.

Applicant Tracking Software Reviews: Newton’s Customer Service and Support

June 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
One of the first things we tell any customer when they choose Newton, our popular applicant tracking software is, “If you don’t understand something, no matter how small, it’s our fault, not yours. Let us know.” We ENCOURAGE technical support emails and phone calls. Yes, we’re being serious. The hardline, old school enterprise software folks tell us that we’re crazy but we’ve always had a problem with authority and, frankly, we haven’t met too many customers that love their legacy vendor. Most importantly, having been customers of other ATS vendors in the past, we’re not fans of long hold times, negative attitudes and cookie cutter responses.

At Newton, we don’t expect you to have any problems getting started or running our applicant tracking software, however, we also make it our priority to provide fast, friendly and free technical support for all of our customers.  Our motto has remained the same since the beginning:  “If you don’t understand something, no matter how small, it’s our fault not yours.  Let us know.” There, we’ve said it again.

Not only does Newton want customers to email or call when they have the slightest problem, but we also encourage customer feedback.  Our “support driven” design team thrives on taking customer’s suggestions about making a better product and implementing them within each successive software update.  We realize that our customers are the best gauge of how to improve our product – so we take suggestions seriously.

Given our commitment to customer service, we’re proud to see that our customers have some great reviews and feedback on our support system.  Here are a few highlights of what they had to say:

  • Catia O’Neill, a human resources professional, commented on Newton’s ‘support driven’ design team: “During the implementation process we contacted Newton several times for assistance with application and customization inquiries. Newton’s team always assisted me promptly. They always tried to go the extra mile in order to accommodate our special requests. If the customization request was not possible, Newton always tried to develop it later on. The thank you letters and the EEOC compliance features are two examples of their proactive approach.”
  • Newton’s response time and commitment to customer service was very important for Hannah Adams, a human resources manager:  “Newton has been extremely responsive and very helpful on the customer service side of things. When I contacted them originally I was pleasantly surprised that they provided such outstanding service.”
  • Ro Carbone, a VP of human resources, highlighted Newton’s general positive attitude when providing support for customers: “I tend to be a bit of a high-need client. To that end, I have dutifully pummeled the Newton folks with ongoing questions. And, yes, I have been known to ask the same question more than once. I have to say that I’ve never been made to feel technologically inferior or lazy when calling the Newton folks. And I can’t think of a time when someone wasn’t there to pick up the phone and give me relevant and accurate information in return. They are not only very responsive to clients, but tend to proactively reach out to see how things are going – for no other reason than to ensure things are going well.”

Many other applicant tracking vendors see their customer support as an ‘add-on’ to their software.  At Newton, we don’t believe in add-ons for our software or our support system. Every applicant tracking feature built into the software is meant to be useful and integral, just as our support process is a central part of the system.   Our customer support is built into our service to provide regular assistance as well as take customer feedback and utilize it to improve our product.

Our next applicant tracking review entry will concentrate on what customers have to say about utilizing Newton on a regular basis.  Stay tuned!

On Moving Our Applicant Tracking Software to the Cloud

June 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment




This past weekend, our technical team made some final adjustments and now,  Newton, our popular applicant tracking software, joins services from industry leaders like Microsoft, IBM and Netflix in Amazon’s AWS cloud computing environment. Our decision to move to the cloud was as much driven by the growth and success of our business (quite profitable) as by the operational efficiencies that the Cloud offers.  Amazon Web Services provides us the scalability and agility for continued fast-paced growth and the reliability to continue to exceed our customers’ expectations.

This isn’t another one of those ‘all hat no cowboy’ marketing stunts. Newton’s product team has been testing and preparing for our Cloud  activation since Amazon announced its public availability in 2009.  We’ve anticipated moving to the cloud for since the beginning and our development team has meticulously architected our applicant tracking software to take full advantage of the cloud computing infrastructure.

Moving to the Cloud gives us a huge advantage over our peers.  We will continue to innovate and scale with better infrastructure, fewer resources and less operational overhead. Translation: we will continue to offer cutting-edge, easy-to-use applicant tracking software to more customers with less effort at more affordable prices.

Why should Newton customers care?

Scalability:

Amazon AWS enables us to increase capacity within minutes, not hours or days. We can commission one, hundreds or even thousands of server instances simultaneously. This allows us to automatically scale Newton up and down depending on our customers’ needs. This scalability critical as Newton Software averages nearly 20 new customers a month and is by all accounts the fastest growing ATS in the marketplace.

Reliability:

Amazon AWS offers a highly reliable environment where database instances can be quickly and predictably commissioned. If a server fails (because they just do from time to time), Newton will just bounce to a server that is working without a noticeable service interruption. Amazon AWS service runs within Amazon’s proven, SAS 70 datacenters. That’s right, if you can buy a book on Amazon, you can status a candidate in Newton. The Amazon AWS SLA commitment is 99.95% availability in any Amazon AWS region. This means that Newton is ultra-reliable all over the world all the time.

Speed:

This is where our product  team gets really geeked up. By switching to the Cloud, Newton has become even faster. And, it allows our team to do some really innovative things too.  Most recruiting software bogs down when running complex reports. Not Newton! We  leveraging extra computing power and read-only database technology to enable users to run complex customized reports instantly.

Security:

Amazon AWS has some of the world’s most trusted brands on the platform and Amazon takes security very seriously. Amazon Web Services’ security controls are evaluated every six months by an independent auditor in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS70) Type II audit procedures.

Newton Software has only begun.

We’ve worked hard to establish Newton Software as an innovator in a space that has for two decades purely focused on processing and storing resumes.  Today, we stand, for the most part alone, as the only modern, pure-play ATS on the market.  As our peers continue to drift (rather aimlessly) into talent management and human capital management, they now purely just maintain their applicant tracking modules, all but abandoning new development.  Not us. We just invested in the infrastructure necessary to help us more effectively solve the problems that still linger in corporate talent acquisition departments,  hiring managers’ cubes and executives minds. We’ve just begun.

What Type of Applicant Tracking Software is Right for Your Organization: The Movie

April 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

One of the most prevalent issues that ATS buyers face even before choosing a recruiting software vendor is deciphering what type of applicant tracking software is the best fit for their business. There are two main categories of recruitment technology, each with a distinct feature set designed to manage a specific type of recruiting.  Here’s a short video that breaks down the key differences between corporate applicant tracking software and applicant tracking software that’s designed for recruiting agencies and staffing firms.

Applicant Tracking Software That Drives Decisions

November 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Having run corporate recruiting programs for nearly 10 years, we began developing Newton in 2004 after becoming frustrated with existing commercial recruiting platforms. Until the advent of Newton, there wasn’t any recruiting technology that facilitated the fundamental activity key to all recruiting programs: decisions making. Sure, we wanted something that would make rolling out, ramping up, managing, and improving hiring programs easier. And we wanted something that offered a more collaborative recruiting experience. But, we needed something that would intuitively drive the decisions that both recruiters and hiring managers are asked to make every day. Essentially, we needed something that would make saying yes or no simple.

It’s undeniable, over the years; hiring processes have become more complex. But, one day, we asked ourselves why does it have to be this way? Then, the “Newton apple” fell on our heads and we realized that recruiting is just a series of sequential waterfall tasks that are defined by a series of yes / no decision events. It became clear that the hiring process doesn’t need to be complex. In fact, if we could simplify the process, we could eliminate wasted activity (or inactivity) that can slow it down, confused people, and lead to bottlenecks and failures.

Newton, our popular applicant tracking software, is designed to move applicants through each stage of the process in a systematic, orderly, and continuous manner and to eliminate periods of inactivity (waiting) between each stage. Our intuitive, patent-pending workflow is native to Newton and doesn’t require weeks of customization to leverage. On the same token, it’s also not designed to allow users to add unnecessary steps to hiring that complicate the process

We’ve built years of practical recruiting knowledge into Newton, offering our customers an easy way to drive the decisions that drive recruiting. When you choose Newton, you get a recruiting platform that’s designed around a proven, fully optimized workflow that promotes decision making, collaboration, captures critical data for compliance, and provides game-changing analytics. It’s not just a tool … it’s an infrastructure for making decisions.

Watch how Newton drives decision making.

The New Newton Tracking Utility, a First-of-its-Kind

September 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment

What’s happening in your recruiting program right now?  This second?  If you’re anything like I was when I was a corporate recruiter, your answer is likely- “stuff”.  And, if you’re still using email and spreadsheets to track recruiting then it’s impossible to really know what’s happening right now.  Even if you’re using applicant tracking software, chances are that it can’t tell you what’s happening in real-time. It may pollute your inbox with a bunch of messages but, we all know that’s not a good solution.

Introducing Newton Tracking, a powerful, customizable, feed that will help you manage tasks better, respond to requests faster, and provide you with unparalleled visibility into your recruiting program.  The new Tracking utility in Newton is designed to allow corporate recruiters and HR professionals to be everywhere at once answering questions like:

Has a manager reviewed that applicant I sent her yet?

Do I need to schedule any interviews today?

Are we getting new applicants for the job we just opened?

Does the VP want me to make an offer to that candidate?

You decide what to track you’ll manage your preferences easily.

User Adoption is more important than features

July 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Effective user adoption is the absolute best predictor of a successful applicant tracking software purchase.  You can have the most expensive software in the world, with the biggest name and the most features – but if people don’t use it, it isn’t going to add value. Today, the recruiting software industry is rife with vendors that continue to add frivolous features to their platforms to keep up with the Jones’ and to woo unsuspecting customers into impulsive buying decisions (this in turn makes their software more clunky and complicated so I’m glad they do it personally).  

We’re marching to a different drummer at Newton.  Adoption is everything. When users like hiring managers effectively adopt a corporate recruiting tool, productivity, collaboration, and efficiency skyrocket.  Isn’t this the goal?  We think so and we’re not alone.  The Sandhill Group, a strategic management, investment and marketing group specializing in the SaaS industry, conducted a study and found that the most critical factor (70% listed it as number 1) for software success and return-on-investment is effective user adoption.

No software platform is magic. Some users will love it. Some users won’t. We design Newton to increase your chances of getting more users which ultimately leads to a more productive recruiting program and a significant return on investment. There are other benefits as well. The more users you get, the better off you’ll be as you’ll capture critical information that you’ll use to diagnose and solve problems (it’s nice to be a little proactive once in a while). You’ll also capture critical compliance information easier.   When you have high adoption rates your recruiting platform will become the hardest working part of your solution.

Presently, the adoption rate for Newton is above 90%.  We put together a short video to explain how we make this possible.

3 Tips to Improve the Candidate Experience



Poor candidate experience remains one of the biggest missed opportunities in corporate recruiting. Companies don’t intentionally treat applicants poorly.

So, how can companies improve how they treat job applicants and, at the same time, convey a positive brand image despite limited resources?

We’ve got a couple of ideas. Here are 3 tips to help you improve how you treat applicants. And, we’ve included a short video detailing our Thank You Letter feature now available in Newton, our popular applicant tracking software.

Run Interactive Staffing Meetings

February 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Do you loathe those Fridays when you have to “update” your ATS or staffing spreadsheets? We did. So we built recruiting software that works the way recruiting works. Now capturing all of your recruiting information is simple. And, because Newton is easy for everyone to use, even your hiring managers will add data to the system allowing you to collaborate and store critical information.

Newton is designed to be like air traffic control for your entire recruiting program. See all the information that’s important to you at a glance, right from your home page. Now you’ll drill into detailed analytics anytime from your analytics dashboard to access real-time information like: candidate pipelines, conversion rates, average time it takes to move candidates from stage-to-stage, best sources of applicants, missed opportunities and more.

Give your hiring managers and executives logins. It’s free! Get ready to show all of your hard work, to point out bottlenecks and to make better decisions about your recruiting resources. With Newton you’ll be the envy of your company, running the most informative meetings with the best information at your fingertips.

New in Newton: Newton Analytics

August 10, 2009 By 1 Comment

We just made it faster and easier to analyze your recruiting program using Newton. Now you’ll see a tab on your home page called “Analytics” replacing the “Overview” tab. Click the Analytics tab to open a an interactive dashboard that will help you slice and dice you recruiting program. You can analyze your recruiting data based on a selected period of time or by job, or both.

This release, v3.6, is the first of several planned releases to tackle analytics. With a focus on measuring stage-to-stage metrics, we wanted to help our customers answer fundamental questions.

  • Where do I have bottlenecks?
  • Where can I get involved to make an immediate impact?
  • Is everyone in the process doing their part?
  • Am I spending money on the right resources?

Most importantly, we want to give our customers the power to know when something is going wrong before anyone else notices -to be proactive. After all, as John, our product manager, says, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

We hope you like it.
