“No man is an island, entire of itself”

To paraphrase the words of John Donne, staffing and recruiting software should improve operational efficiencies and not operate as an island.  Recruiter tools and software should provide easy interoperability allowing recruiters to focus on core business activities while tracking critical client and candidate information.

No one staffing and recruiting technology will meet all your needs to effectively and efficiently run your business.  Therefore, it's critical to your firms success to select recruiting technology that provides solid business critical functionality with integration capabilities to 3rd party applications.  In recent years, based on Apple's Apple Store model, the marketplace approach to finding and integrating 3rd party applications has also become an accepted approach for find and selecting 3rd party business applications.  Quality examples of the business application marketplace models are The Salesforce AppExchange, Bullhorn's Marketplace, and Google's Apps Marketplace.  Regardless of the technology you select, ensure your vendor is not an island and provides easy integration where necessary to help support your business.

Today we're proud to publicly launch the iResume API to better serve our clients by extending our service through commonly accepted integration methods.  The iResume API provides clients the capability to integrate our standardization and branding services to their current CRM, ATS, or home grown system.
