ServiceNow | June 06, 2022
On June 3rd, prominent cloud-based platform ServiceNow announced an agreement to acquire HitchWorks, a skill mapping solutions provider. ServiceNow will now be able to leverage Hitch Works’ capabilities of AI-enabled skills insights to help customers meet talent gaps. The resulting platform will align learning and development with workforce planning and empower organizations to match the right people to projects.
“If skills are the new currency for business, insight into these skills is critical to driving talent retention and adapting to evolving business needs. But skills management has historically been siloed, with numerous point solutions and fragmented processes that don't work together. With Hitch, ServiceNow will streamline skills intelligence on a single platform to help business leaders match employees with meaningful work.”
-Gretchen Alarcon, vice president and general manager of HR Service Delivery, ServiceNow
An IDC study revealed that North American CEOs believe that navigating talent gaps poses the biggest risk to organizations in 2022. The low rate of employee retention and a fast-changing landscape are putting immense pressure on organizations to effectively attract talent and retain it. Hitch Works’ AI and ML functionalities will help organizations identify employees that are best-matched to projects based on their skills and interests.
AI-powered skills intelligence is the foundation for the future of work,” Jerrehian further stated. “Joining forces with ServiceNow allows us to scale our skills and talent mobility solutions across a global ecosystem of business leaders, managers, and employees. Together we will make work more meaningful and purpose-driven for employees and deliver better business outcomes for companies.
“A productive and engaged workforce is the greatest asset of an organization. As we emerge from the pandemic and face the challenges of the Great Resignation, employee experience is the key differentiator to winning 21st century talent. ServiceNow will advance Hitch’s vision of creating the next generation of workforce and skills solutions.”
-Steven-Waiss, founder of Hitch

TALENT ACQUISITION
Greenhouse | May 25, 2022
Leading hiring software provider, Greenhouse has announced the launch of its newest system called Sourcing Automation at the Greenhouse Open Conference. The software will enable recruiters and hiring managers to source candidate information and reach out to them through a personalized email recruiting campaign.
"Outbound sourcing has never been so important – or so difficult. Recruiters are working tirelessly around the clock when it comes to finding and hiring talent and are still losing top talent. To cut through the noise and stand out from the crowd, recruiting teams need a tailored approach that leaves a memorable impression from the first interaction to offer.Companies that are able to get sourcing right are positioned to pull ahead of the competition. Giving recruiters the tools they need to build and nurture relationships with prospective candidates means that emails will reach inboxes instead of getting lost in spam folders."
-Jon Stross, President and co-founder of Greenhouse
Sourcing Automation can help talent management teams convert passive talent into engaged applicants by:
Centralizing sourcing with the Greenhouse CRM and reducing bouncer ates
Automating the sourcing of candidate information
Boosting communication and outreach with automated email campaigns
Building diverse talent pools
"The talent landscape has undergone tremendous change over the last decade, jumping into hyperspeed in the last year. Business leaders want to see measurable ROI from their recruiting efforts, from validating the cost of software investments to justifying the time it takes to fill an open role. Companies that are the most successful finding, engaging and converting prospects are using personalized automation to build an optimized recruiting strategy. Recruiters who can strike a balance between technology and human touch will have an advantage when it comes to quickly moving candidates through the pipeline and ultimately achieving their business goals."
