Newton RPO Software and Customer, Buller Group, Featured Online on Recruiter

Newton’s RPO Software and customer, Buller Group, are  featured on popular UK-based Recruiter.

US-based software developer Newton has launched applicant tracking software designed for recruitment process outsourcers (RPO).

Joel Passen, co-founder of Newton and who ran an RPO company handling some 30 Silicon Valley clients for several years, told Recruiter that until now many RPOs hadn’t been leveraging the benefits of technology because they’d tended to use outdated legacy or homegrown systems.

“RPOs manage a multitude of recruiters, thousands of jobs and thousands of hiring managers. This has been designed from the trenches as we know the challenges they face,” he said. Passen believes that the software’s built-in analytics and dashboards will help RPOs sell themselves to prospective clients because of the transparency it brings. “This is a tangible platform that demonstrates accountability and offers clients high visibility into processes.”

Newton RPO is similar to the company’s software-as-a-service product aimed at employers but has a different database structure and additional features which are tailored to external recruiting practices.

Available worldwide, one of the early US users is Virginian-based The Buller Group where managing partner Rob Buller describes it as “the epiphany” software in the RPO world. He told Recruiter that before Newton, applicant tracking systems were just about talent acquisition but Newton adds another layer and provides easy access to key metrics such as time-to-fill, cost-per-hire or submission-to-hire. “It allows businesses to run talent acquisition as a business [process] with real-time, comprehensive and accurate statistics,” he said. “How can you run a people business when you don’t know how the business of hiring people is working?”

Who’s Hiring?

We have to give credit where credit is due.  We have smart customers.  Over the past couple of months, we’ve received dozens of requests to feature our customers’ jobs on the Newton Software website.  We thought this sounded like a great idea so we put together the “Who’s Hiring” program.

So far, quite a few of our customers have asked to be included in “Who’s Hiring” and we expect the list to grow every month.  We’ll focus some of our marketing efforts to drive applicants to the web page as well so folks that are looking for new opportunities can easily find and peruse our customers’ open jobs.

So tell a friend, the Newton site is now a great place to find open jobs at hot companies all over the US.

People Love Thank You Letters

Doing the right thing (sending Thank You Letters to every candidate that has ever applied to or interviewed for one of your jobs) feels good. While we didn’t invent the thank you letter, we did make them easy to send and both employers and applicants are speaking up.

“AWESOME! frickin’ awesome feature” – Executive, Scoopler

“Just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve sent out two thank you letters to “non responsive” candidates. Both of them got back to me the same day.” – Sr. Recruiter, SolutionStream

“I really appreciate your feedback! Almost all the time, I hardly get any reply back from the employers/recruiters I apply to for jobs. You’re one of the very few exceptions.” – Job Applicant, Newton customer

Thanks for send me a note to let me know where I stand. A couple of my co-workers are looking right now. I will suggest that they check out your open jobs. – Job Applicant, Newton customer

“I love it! I was able to send out all my Thank You Letters today -thanks” Recruiter, Relyon

“It’s nice when recruiting software can actually do some of my heavy lifting and at the same time provide such a high level of service to candidates. You guys built a double whammy” Sr. Technical Recruiter, Proofpoint.
