Jobvite, provider of next-generation recruitment solutions, has been selected by Advent Software Inc., a provider of software and services for the global investment management industry, to streamline the talent acquisition process for the company's 10 offices worldwide.

The easy-to-use Web 2.0 recruitment application manages Advent's entire recruiting cycle from job posting to hire. Jobvite supports Advent's external recruitment, applicant tracking, employee referral and internal mobility with one clean interface. All employees receive Jobvite access so that everyone involved in talent acquisition can work together easily.

Using Jobvite's intuitive interface, hiring managers at Advent have easy access to pertinent information throughout the hiring process. This self-service allows hiring managers to actively engage in the recruiting cycle and work closely with the company's staffing team to attract, identify and hire top talent. The hiring manager can instantly see current candidate and requisition information in Jobvite. Even when managers are not signed into Jobvite, they receive updates and reminders via e-mail and can take action from a handheld device. Hiring managers can also jump-start talent acquisition by sending job invitations through Jobvite's Web 2.0 referral system.

"At Advent, we've built a winning team that values innovation and collaboration. Everyone here has a stake in bringing top talent to Advent," said John Brennan, vice president of human resources at Advent.

"Hiring manager self-service in Jobvite makes our hiring process more efficient, which means we raise our level of execution in competing for top talent. The Jobvite application works for hiring managers because Jobvite is easy to use and fits our business process."

"Companies who involve their employees effectively in hiring have a strategic advantage in the war for talent," said Jesper Schultz, chief executive officer of Jobvite. "The social recruitment approach that Jobvite brings to recruiting leverages the collaborative culture at Advent. We are very pleased to support the continued growth of Advent, a leader in investment management software for 25 years."
