WorkJam Announces Alliance With VMware

Acquisition News
On January 17, WorkJam, a preferred digital workplace partner for organizations with hourly workers, announced partnering with VMware, a premier enterprise software provider. The partnership will connect WorkJam’s communication, learning, task management, and shift management solutions with VMware’s Workspace ONE, a unified end management (UEM) platform. The interoperability between the two digital workplace service providers will enable companies to deliver a more uniform digital employee experience, with improved productivity and reduced costs. The partnership was announced on the first day of the NRF 2022, one of the largest annual retail trade shows.

Workspace ONE’s customers will be able to use WorkJam’s time and attendance data to deploy selective restrictions on confidential corporate content  including inventory management as well as buy online, pick-up in store (BOPIS) applications, at a time when employees are off the clock.

The combination of WorkJam and Workspace ONE will enable organizations employing frontline workers to:
  • Deliver a consolidated digital employee experience
  • Refine communication channels and operational processes
  • Cultivate a learning culture with incentivized learning and upskilling
  • Enhance employee retention and work performance through a consistent employee experience
  • Provide a uniform, organization-wide consumer experience

"Frontline workers need to access productivity tools via multiple touch points throughout the day, which can cause serious risk for both security and productivity if not handled thoughtfully. That's why WorkJam and VMware are coming together. As businesses continue to navigate change in a time of technological advancement, it's becoming increasingly important for businesses to prioritize clarity, accessibility, and security."

- Rich Halbert, Chief Strategy Officer at WorkJam,

"Empowered and digitally connected employees can make all the difference for retailers. BYO and COPE policies enable retailers to redefine the employee experience and maintain a competitive advantage. Together with WorkJam, we are powering the future of digital workspaces to help our customers better deploy BOYD and COPE with the privacy employees demand and the enhanced data security that IT requires. Armed with the necessary tools to make their jobs easier and more productive, employees can transform the retail experience from the inside out." 

- Ed Durbin, Director of VMware's Global Retail Industry Group

HireVue's 'Human Potential Intelligence' Revolutionizes Recruitment

HireVue | October 09, 2023

A new category for recruiting has been introduced by HireVue, the industry innovator and leader in human potential intelligence. This represents a departure from traditional hiring procedures and the introduction of a cutting-edge paradigm that evaluates candidates based on their expertise. HireVue upends conventional wisdom in order to put the emphasis precisely where it belongs: on human potential. According to HireVue, conventional hiring practices are ineffective and out of date, a belief shared by employees and job seekers globally. More than 3000 people were surveyed for the recent HireVue Hiring Experience Report 2023, and the results revealed widespread dissatisfaction with the hiring environment. Lack of feedback (40%), reliance on resume evaluations rather than skill and potential assessments (30%), the necessity of more simplified procedures to accommodate changing requirements (37%), and the prevalence of erroneous job descriptions (31%), are all sources of aggravation. Traditional "Rearview Recruiting," which bases recruiting decisions on resumes and qualifications, is based on outdated procedures. By relying largely on profile scraping and resume screening, Legacy HR Tech exacerbates the problem. Focusing just on a person's past accomplishments rather than their potential causes blind spots and makes it more difficult to identify future skill requirements. The soulless, laborious, opaque, too drawn-out, limited communication, and lack of feedback in this old approach further irritate candidates. A fresh approach is provided by HireVue's Human Potential Intelligence, which goes beyond customary methods and puts fairness and impartiality first. It eliminates guessing and replaces it with a deep understanding of each candidate by utilizing AI to evaluate individuals based on potential, abilities, and interests. This innovative strategy positions HR as a strategic talent incubator rather than just a cost center, ushering in a new era in which the hiring process is transformed into a human journey of empowerment and progress for all parties. Founder & Chief Analyst at Aptitude Research, Madeline Laurano, said, HireVue's introduction of 'Human Potential Intelligence' represents a groundbreaking shift in the traditional landscape of hiring. Relying on the constructs of the past like job descriptions and resumes falls short in identifying potential. Our innovative approach brings together both the art and science of hiring by design. It’s supported by their industry-leading AI and stands out as a beacon of change. By focusing on the potential and skills of the humans in the hiring process, this new category redefines hiring criteria and opens doors for companies to hire for the needs of today and ensure they have the right talent for the future. [Source: GlobeNewswire] The introduction of Find My Fit, a pioneering service leveraging HireVue's experience in AI-driven personnel assessment, is at the vanguard of this transformational plan. This program fills the gap between job seekers and openings by enabling them to find positions that match their abilities, passions, and untapped potential. Precision job matching is at the core of the Find My Fit program, ensuring that candidates are not only pointed in the direction of open positions but also to roles that are actually compatible with their individual abilities and potential. This strategy improves candidates' overall job-search experiences while also extending their horizons. The Find My Fit Application effectively addresses key challenges in today's competitive job market. It empowers job seekers who often struggle to identify suitable roles or doubt their qualifications. With this application, candidates can discover positions that match their skills and potential, expanding their job search possibilities. In a job market marked by frequent career changes, candidates often feel uncertain. The application offers guidance by directing individuals toward roles where they can succeed, even with differing prior experiences. Conventional hiring methods typically focus on resumes and qualifications, often overlooking candidates' true potential. However, the Find My Fit Application shifts the focus towards matching candidates with jobs based on their skills and interests, breaking free from rigid job title requirements. Additionally, it fosters inclusion by suggesting roles tailored to candidates' interests. This encourages individuals to consider positions they may not have explored otherwise, contributing to increased diversity. About HireVue HireVue’s expertise in science, artificial intelligence, and data, helps employers get potential candidates to designations where they can succeed, while also pointing them in the direction of the future. HireVue has hosted more than 70 million video interviews and 200 million chat-based candidate engagements for over 1,150 trailblazing clients throughout the world, including more than 60% Fortune 100 companies.
