<p dir="ltr"><span>NEW YORK, NY -- August [2], 2018 -- Namely, the leading HR platform for mid-sized companies, today announced the appointment of Elisa Steele as the company’s CEO. Elisa has more than 25 years of leadership experience at several of the world's leading technology companies. She last served as President & CEO of Jive Software and has held senior positions at Microsoft, Skype, Yahoo!, NetApp, and Sun Microsystems. Elisa joined the Namely Board of Directors in 2017 and has held the role of Head of the Office of the CEO since May.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how leadership has the power to transform workplaces for the better,” said Elisa Steele. “Namely is the leading all-in-one platform in the mid-market for a reason—it empowers HR, enables employees, and drives strategy at the leadership level. Today, we serve over 1,000 clients with our best-in-class software solution and have scaled to process $12bn in payroll. This strong market position enables us to seize the vast opportunity across mid-sized companies who have traditionally been underserved in the market.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“Serving alongside Elisa on Namely’s board, I have already seen her make a tremendous impact,” said David Skok, General Partner at Matrix Partners. “Namely is addressing a critical challenge: companies must fight to retain the best talent. It is key to provide employees with the same seamless technology experiences that they enjoy as consumers in their workplace applications. That’s one of many areas where Namely excels and why it will continue to grow.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Under her leadership, the company completed a $60M growth round last week. GGV Capital, whose investments include Airbnb, Square, and Slack, led the round, alongside Tenaya Capital. Namely’s major investors, including Sequoia Capital, True Ventures, Matrix Partners, and Scale Venture Partners, all participated in the round, marking their continued commitment to Namely.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“We are thrilled to lead this growth round for Namely along with many of the top investors in SaaS,” said Jeff Richards, Managing Partner at GGV Capital. “We also could not be more excited to back Elisa Steele, whom we have known for many years and believe is one of the top executives and board members in the technology industry.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>"Since partnering in 2015, we have seen Namely establish itself as the data-driven, people-centric platform of choice for mid-market HR. We have long admired Elisa, and we are confident that her expertise will drive Namely's continued growth and success," said Pat Grady, Sequoia partner and Namely board member.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Namely has reached a number of milestones this year, from surpassing $50M in ARR (annual recurring revenue) to opening a large-scale operations center in Atlanta, alongside its existing offices in New York, San Francisco, Austin, and LA. Namely continues to be recognized as the only engaging and modern solution for the mid-market, receiving accolades such as inclusion in the Cloud 100 in both 2016 and 2017. With Elisa at the helm of a stellar management team, including Graham Younger as President & CRO, Dan Murphy as CFO, Paul Rogers as CTO and Kerry Prine as SVP of Operations, the company is poised to continue to drive industry leadership in it sector.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>About Namely</span></p>

Entelo’s solution currently serves more than 600 companies including Capital One, Cisco, Facebook, GE, Genentech, Netflix, Northrop Grumman, and Target. The company will use the new funds to continue its investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and to accelerate hiring across all teams.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>“We are impressed by Entelo’s vision of a world in which jobs find people instead of people finding jobs,” said Rick Lewis, U.S. Venture Partners. “We admire their progress on that vision and believe Entelo is at the forefront of innovation in the recruiting technology landscape. We are excited to partner with them to build an iconic company.”</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>According to the Deloitte Human Capital Trends report, 61% of today’s CEOs report they do not believe they are recruiting fast enough or well enough, and the process has become enormously complex. Entelo applies intelligence to big data and automates workflows to provide recruiting teams with actionable insights, higher candidate engagement, and increased productivity.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>“When recruiting for senior-level and executive roles, I have to be high-touch and targeted,” said TJ Bonner, Executive Recruiter at GE Digital. “Having access to additional data points and social profiles in Entelo means I can connect more authentically and deliver a better candidate experience.”</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Entelo also announced newly forged strategic relationships with several world-class data providers, including Equifax Inc., FullContact and InsideView. Through these relationships, Entelo's customers gain even more robust profile information with which to personalize outreach to qualified candidates, resulting in higher engagement rates and better recruiting results.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>“The talent acquisition technology landscape has become increasingly complex and companies are keen to make smart investments,” said Madeline Laurano, co-founder and Chief Research Officer of Aptitude Research. “Entelo is at the forefront of how advanced AI can deliver qualified candidates quickly and we anticipate the addition of their new data partnerships will further differentiate their solutions.”</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>“The impact of data-driven and data science-driven talent acquisition is going to be tremendous,” said Jon Bischke, founder and CEO of Entelo. “This round enables us to accelerate product development that will underscore Entelo’s position as the market leader in applying the latest technologies to the hiring process.”</span></p>

</div> WayUp, the Leading Job Marketplace for Early Career Professionals, Acquires Looksharptag:recruitingblogs.com,2017-02-21:502551:Topic:20050102017-02-21T23:35:20.997ZNoel Coccahttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/NoelCocca
<p><b>NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO - February 17, 2017 - </b><a href="https://www.wayup.com/" target="_blank">WayUp</a> and <a href="https://www.looksharp.com/" target="_blank">Looksharp</a> today announced a definitive agreement for WayUp to acquire Looksharp. The acquisition will create the most advanced job marketplace that will help every college student and recent grad find the right job or internship.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“Gone are the days of job sites that consist of white pages with blue links…</p>
<p><b>NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO - February 17, 2017 - </b><a href="https://www.wayup.com/" target="_blank">WayUp</a> and <a href="https://www.looksharp.com/" target="_blank">Looksharp</a> today announced a definitive agreement for WayUp to acquire Looksharp. The acquisition will create the most advanced job marketplace that will help every college student and recent grad find the right job or internship.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“Gone are the days of job sites that consist of white pages with blue links shown in chronological order,” said Liz Wessel, Co-founder and CEO of WayUp. “With the combination of WayUp and Looksharp’s unique supply both on the job side and the candidate side, this acquisition will expedite WayUp’s growth all the more quickly, as we’ll now have more than 3 million U.S. student and recent grad profiles on the platform.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>WayUp has quickly become the leading place for college students who want to hold the reins to their futures. On WayUp, students and recent grads know that they will only see jobs they’re qualified for, saving them time spent applying to countless jobs where their application will likely go unviewed. According to WayUp, 23 percent of WayUp job applications result in an interview, compared to industry standard of 2 percent of job applications resulting in an interview. This has resulted in WayUp placing 1 in every 3 applicants in a job - an unprecedented statistic for most open job platforms.</p>
<p></p>
<p>While WayUp has created a community for its users who are extremely well retained, the team is aware that 73 percent of job seekers in the U.S. start their search in Google. WayUp already has over half a million users whose WayUp profiles show in one of the first spots on Google search results (for example: <a href="https://goo.gl/G6mOXp" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/G6mOXp</a>) before other major job platforms like LinkedIn. Looksharp’s full coverage of most college-related job searches on Google is what led to WayUp first taking notice of the company.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Not only that -- the synergy was undeniable, as both companies had the same mission to help college students land jobs in a much more efficient way than ever before. They both believed in building a brand that connected directly with job seekers, which they have seen allows them to retain share of mind among their users beyond graduation.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“When I met with Liz and JJ, we realized that both of our companies wanted to change the way students secure jobs, and how businesses find student talent,” said Andrew Maguire, CEO of Looksharp. “Since we both believe in the power of building a direct-to-consumer company, versus selling into universities or professors, we were able to easily map out what a deeper partnership would look like.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>Wessel wants WayUp to do what Spotify did for music: when you login, you receive a personalized playlist, can listen to songs directly on the platform, all the while resonating with Spotify’s powerful brand. No one, in Wessel’s opinion, has created this job seeker experience. “It’s hard to think of a single brand or product that college students resonate with, which helps them through possibly the most intimidating process of their lives: looking for work.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>“People are over going to outdated, non-personalized job sites. It’s time for people to see personalized job feeds, not tens of thousands of uncurated links that lead to mobile-unfriendly job pages,” said Wessel.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed. Looksharp was founded in 2009 and has raised $10.48M to date.</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>About WayUp</b></p>
<p>WayUp is the leading online job marketplace exclusively for U.S. college students and recent grads. Launched in September 2014, WayUp is the only site where employers can post a job to a targeted (and filtered) audience of students at any U.S. college. WayUp currently has more than 3 million profiles of students and recent grads who represent 5,200 campuses in the U.S., with 25-30 thousand students signing up each week. WayUp works with startup to Fortune 500 companies with innovative approaches in the way in which they recruit millennial talent, and places 1 in every 3 applicants in a job.</p> Five Generations, Flying Blind - Today's HR Challenges Greater Than Evertag:recruitingblogs.com,2016-10-19:502551:Topic:19907362016-10-19T16:28:18.525ZNoel Coccahttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/NoelCocca

<p><b>PRESS RELEASE</b></p>
<p><b>CHICAGO and READING, U.K. (October 19, 2016)</b> – There have never been so many generations in the workplace, causing new and increasing people challenges for business and HR leaders. That is the view from <a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=19360263&msgid=270595&act=9WQX&c=215981&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fairsail.com%2F" target="_blank">Fairsail</a>, which has today released the findings of its inaugural, <a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=19360263&msgid=270595&act=9WQX&c=215981&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fairsail.com%2F17-70%2Fmultigen-research%2F" target="_blank">‘17-70’ research</a>, which recently polled 250 HR leaders from the U.K. and U.S. on managing the different generations in their workforces.</p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p><b>The great demographic divide</b></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Average life expectancy has increased significantly while retirement savings have reduced, meaning for the first time there are five generations in the workforce. The findings showed that the youngest and oldest workforce demographics create the greatest HR challenges for modern businesses with 47.6% of respondents citing Millennials as the most challenging, closely followed by Baby Boomers, which received just over a third (33.6%) of total responses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Businesses today are navigating uncharted territory, managing people each with their own needs, preferences and developmental opportunities,” said Adam Hale, CEO of Fairsail. “This can create a high level of uncertainty around how to hire the best talent of any age while providing all employees with the necessary support to perform at their best. More than ever before, HR leaders need to think like people scientists in order to optimize both talent management and business outcomes.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fairsail’s research also found that juggling the collision of old and new working practices is an issue for more than one in five (22%) HR leaders. The rise of the two youngest worker demographics, Millennials and Gen Z, who have ushered in greater demand for more flexibility around how, when and where they work, is largely the driving force behind this collision, and presents a direct conflict to employees aged 40+ who are typically more used to regular working patterns and locations.</p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p><b>The demand for people science</b></p>
<p> </p>
<p>In a bid to combat the challenges presented by the increasingly diverse and multi-generational global workforce, more than half (52%) of HR leaders are now hiring people scientists to improve their visibility and understanding of their workforces.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>People scientists are able to gain predictive insights and be more proactive, providing a more holistic understanding of people through increased contextual information from multiple sources, not just HR. Yet despite this, 42% still only have a partial view of their workforce.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The global HR industry’s increasing use of people science tallies with two thirds of respondents (66%) who stated that Big Data and people analytics will be ‘important’ or ‘very important’ in enabling HR to become more productive and strategic. Similar respondent percentages also cited the importance of digital HR (66.4%), behavioral economics (66%) and cognitive computing (63%) in facilitating better management of the global, cross-generational workforce.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Digital skills gap hindering talent acquisition</b></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The survey also revealed that the digital skills gap remains as prevalent as ever. The wide range of age groups in today’s workforce means that the spread of technical understanding, competence and confidence is vast. So much so, that nearly a quarter (21%) reported a high level of difficulty in finding talent with the necessary digital skills.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In fact, identifying the best talent is an ongoing challenge for HR professionals in both countries. Faced with five generations in the workforce, each with various skills and competencies, almost a third (30%) of total respondents cited talent acquisition as their greatest challenge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hale commented, “With different generations working alongside each other, businesses must ensure they have the right tools and strategies to manage their teams effectively. And as the workforce continues to evolve, success will be contingent upon having full visibility of all employees, their skills and where they need additional support. This is especially true with multi-generational workforces where factors such as a digital skills and the need to build effective leadership pipelines further complicate the talent management process.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fairsail’s research highlights the growing importance of HR to wider business success – and indeed, with more than two-thirds (68%) of respondents stating that they report directly to their company’s CEO, this is further evidence that HR’s importance is rising up the C-suite agenda as a critical business function.</p>

<p><span>Aurora, IL - February 3, 2015 - Digi-Me, a digital recruitment technology company specializing in cloud-based, job-specific and employment branding video solutions, announced the launch of its new Candidate Expectations Video Format. In an effort to bridge the communication gap between recruiters, who frequently get overwhelmed by the numbers of applicants, and candidates, who all too often are left uninformed, Digi-Me's latest offering helps recruiters map the steps of the hiring process through simple, short videos.</span><br/><br/><span>Under parent company JSTN, Digi-Me is the first and only HR video production company to transform traditional text job posts into interactive digital content. After releasing its client-facing content management system in April of this year, Digi-Me has expanded its core video capabilities, 60-second job postings and Cultural Videos, to now candidate-friendly expectation videos.</span><br/><br/><span>"Our Candidate Expectation videos eliminate the number one frustration for candidates: feeling like they are in a black hole," says Lindsay Stanton, Chief Client Officer at Digi-Me. "This video sets expectations for the hiring process, leaving candidates with a clear understanding of the process and timing and, most importantly, leaving them with a positive feeling about their interaction with your brand."</span><br/><br/><span>The Candidate Expectation Video was created out of the need to save recruiters the time and frustration of individually notifying candidates of their standing during the application process. For employers, the new product alleviates the likelihood of a lack of communication hurting the company's employer brand, which 32% of applicants said they'd do according to a </span><a href="http://www.tlnt.com/2013/02/21/the-candidate-experience-survey-says-that-frankly-it-stinks/" target="_blank">survey</a><span> of 3900 job-seekers by Harris Interactive.</span><br/><br/><span>To view Digi-Me's first candidate expectation video, visit: </span><a href="http://www.digi-me.com/candidate-expectations-video/" target="_blank">http://www.digi-me.com/candidate-expectations-video/</a><br/><br/><span>About Digi-Me</span><br/><br/><span>With our short, customized recruitment videos spotlighting career opportunities and corporate culture, Digi-Me, a JSTN company, delivers information to job-seekers in a way that is more engaging & more accessible across all media platforms and devices.

<p class="annotatable"><span class="anno-span">But for would-be job hunters, it’s probably a lot more useful.</span></p>
<p class="annotatable"><span class="anno-span"><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/20/opinion/sunday/friedman-how-to-get-a-job-at-google-part-2.html?hp&rref=opinion&_r=1" target="_blank">In a Q&A-style interview</a> with Google’s <a href="http://som.yale.edu/news/news/laszlo-bock-99-vp-people-operations-google" target="_blank">senior vice president of people operations Laszlo Bock</a>, The New York Times’s Tom Friedman fished a few seriously helpful words of wisdom out of the search giant’s human resources chief. This one is perhaps the most concrete.</span></p>
<blockquote><p class="annotatable"><span class="anno-span">How do you write a good résumé?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p class="annotatable featured-annotation-paragraph emReady"><span class="anno-span"><span class="emHighlight">“The key,” [Bock] said, “is to frame your strengths as: ‘I accomplished X, relative to Y, by doing Z.’ Most people would write a résumé like this: ‘Wrote editorials for The New York Times.’ Better would be to say: ‘Had 50 op-eds published compared to average of 6 by most op-ed [writers] as a result of providing deep insight into the following area for three years.’ Most people don’t put the right content on their résumés.”</span></span></p>
<p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="annotatable"><span class="anno-span">Google has seemed to get a lot more rational about its hiring habits under Bock, who notably admitted that the famous brain-teasers the Mountain View, Calif. company once used to winnow potential hires proved to be <a href="http://qz.com/96206/google-admits-those-infamous-brainteasers-were-completely-useless-for-hiring/" target="_blank">a complete waste of time</a>. Moreover, it’s becoming increasingly clear that <a href="http://qz.com/165356/the-resume-is-not-dead-heres-three-ways-to-make-yours-better-than-any-social-media-profile/" target="_blank">the résumé is far from dead</a> even for the most sophisticated big-data operations.
