THINKstrategies announced today that HRsmart has been named a winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award. This program promotes the measurable business benefits delivered by today’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program administered by THINKstrategies’ Cloud Computing Showplace to recognize SaaS companies that are delivering measurable business benefits to specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.

HRsmart offers a SaaS Talent Management solution that supports companies’ needs from hire to retire. The Applicant Tracking System allows a company to reduce the cost and time required to manage their job requisitions and the candidates that apply to them. Companies can configure the processes, forms, and letters to meet their needs and reuse them to more quickly screen, filter, interview, hire, verify and onboard candidates. HRsmart’s Learning Management System is then used to induct new hires into new hire orientation and other classes to quickly develop their skills. HRsmart’s Employee Performance Management and Career Development System continually evaluates the workforce to determine the right learning, mentoring or project actions to further develop their skills. The Cloud-based solution also captures, documents and shares actions real time so they can be shared across the organization.
