Entelo Revolutionizes IT Talent Recruitment With Latest Innovation

The Entelo Button, a Google Chrome Extension, Gives Recruiters Access to Rich Social Data to Make Smarter Hiring Decisions


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 17, 2013) -  Entelo today announced the release of its latest innovation designed to improve the way employers find top technical talent. The Entelo Button, a Google Chrome extension, gives recruiters access to rich data about their technical candidates to ensure they make well-informed decisions when sourcing and hiring the right people for their organizations.

Given the scarcity of technical talent worldwide, today's companies are often challenged to identify and engage qualified IT professionals that possess the necessary technical skills. While social profiles are helpful in learning about candidates and what they can bring to the organization, they often fail to tell the whole story about the individual, making it more difficult to determine if a candidate will be the right fit. With the Entelo Button, however, recruiters can easily access a wealth of information from across the social web to ensure they find talented individuals for their hard-to-fill technical positions.

When searching candidate profiles on a range of talent websites, the Entelo Button notifies sourcers of whether candidates are also in Entelo's extensive database of more than 10 million IT professionals. The recruiter can then quickly access candidates' other social profiles -- including Google+, Twitter, Quora and more -- to develop a fuller, more accurate picture of the individuals' skills or areas of expertise, and to ensure they make the best hiring decisions for their organization.

In addition to providing rich information, the Entelo button also enables recruiters to perform key CRM actions. For example, they can easily add candidates to lists created on the Entelo platform and include notes about candidates without ever leaving the website. The Entelo Button is part of the company's sophisticated matching algorithm and is delivered through a clear, intuitive user interface. Combined with Entelo's patent-pending technology, which identifies when individuals are most likely to consider a new opportunity or make a career change, the solution gives employers a competitive recruiting edge and helps them engage with top talent at the right time.

"To find the best and brightest technical talent, employers need to rely on cutting-edge tools that can connect them with the right candidates before the competition does," said Entelo co-founder Jon Bischke. "The Entelo Button is a highly effective solution that enables sourcers and recruiters to gain detailed information about candidates from a single source. Leveraging rich social data, they can engage with only the candidates whose skills, competencies and backgrounds are best matched to the needs of the organization."
