PeopleScout, Chicago, Ill., a provider of outsourced candidate screening and processing solutions, announced the launch of its new PeopleScout employee recruitment technology.

The Web-based software offers enhanced, time-efficient candidate processing for job applicants.
PeopleScout technology enables employers to empower their own career web sites by allowing candidates to seamlessly screen for employment opportunities and find available positions. This service allows companies to narrow the right matches in the candidate pool according to their needs and requirements.
After the initial online screening, employers can choose whether their candidates should then be scheduled for real-time, in-person interviews or if PeopleScout should have one of their 300 professionally trained interviewers conduct additional screening.
“The blend of technology with the real-time human touch is what makes us so successful,” said Denise Foy, president of PeopleScout, in announcing the introduction of the PeopleScout proprietary software. “Our value-added services offer customers a variety of ways in which candidates and applicants can get in touch with them. Combining personalized interviewing with technology-based screening enables us to provide a greater degree of success in filling hourly positions. Nearly 99% of candidates we screen receive personal interviews by PeopleScout staff members, enabling us to place 60-70% more employees than competitors because candidates are not lost in a computer database or forgotten on an answering machine or voice mail. In addition, hourly wage candidates are more eager to follow up on scheduled interviews and are more likely to be hired because they have already been through the optimal PeopleScout screening process, which ensures the applicant is qualified for the company’s basic criteria.”
