Newton Software is on Google+

We’re always looking for ways to share information with with our customers, contacts and folks that are interested in learning more about our company and our smart, easy-to-use applicant tracking software. And, recently, we’ve keenly interested in the social media space as we’re designing Newton’s social recruiting strategy (yes, it’s coming and it’s going to be sweet).  So, we figured it would be fitting to develop a strong presence on Google+.  Please “like” our Newton Software Google+ page or add us to one of your circles.

Here is a preview our Google+ page with pictures, screenshots and videos.

Newton Planning to ‘Bling’ in the New Year with 120 Days of New Applicant Tracking Features

2010 was a breakout year for Newton Software and our popular applicant tracking software, Newton. We’re taking our momentum into the New Year and  planning a whole slew of new enhancements to Newton. In addition to releasing exciting new features, Newton Software will  join technology industry leaders like IBM, Microsoft and Netflix by moving our product to Amazon’s EC2 Cloud computing environment.  Moving to the Cloud will make Newton even faster and more agile and provide existing and future customers other significant advantages.

Here’s a quick review of 2010

Exciting Growth

• We grew corporate revenue by over 1000% this past year.
• We added nearly 100 new customers.
• We released more new features than any other applicant tracking vendor with 6 major releases (including 2 major performance releases) containing over 150 new product enhancements.

Changing the Conversation

• Simple is in. In a saturated market, we’ve proven that our easy-to-use, intuitive recruiting software and our frictionless business model are what human resources buyers want. More value, less hassle, great service and huge value – that’s what people want. We deliver.
• Ease of use is the new killer feature. Newton’s best in class user interface and intuitive built-in recruiting workflow yields the highest user adoption rates of any applicant management platform +90%.

Right Engine, Right Partners

We’re now seamlessly integrated with the leading mid-market HRIS/HCM solution Workday and their exclusive mid-market reseller and our dear partner, OneSource VHR.  Together, we’re changing the mid-market HR technology landscape by offering customers a modern, complete HR solution. Think seamless, automated, paperless!

Custom Reporting Engine

Last year we released the industry’s only real time recruiting analytics dashboard. In just a couple of weeks we’ll release the most powerful custom reporting engine in the business. A drag a drop report builder will help Newton users create customized recruiting reports, save them and even export them to a formatted (yes, something you can send to someone) Excel document.

What’s next?

Well, we don’t want to give away the farm here but we can tell you that our next features involve modernizing internal referral programs, position control, social recruiting and mobile – SEXY!

Coming Soon…. a sneak peak of the September applicant tracking software release

You made suggestions. We listened.

We’re super excited about our upcoming release due out September 10th. Over half of the new features are customer recommendations.  Last month, we did a large performance release to ensure that Newton has the capacity and speed to keep up with our growing customer base (we’re serious about performance).  September is all about cool new features. Our development team is working away at building and testing 10 great new additions to Newton. We’ve figured we’d give you a quick look at what’s to come.

We’ll release more details on the “Tracking” feature in a couple of days.  It will be the only feature of it’s kind in the applicant tracking software world.  In the meantime, think “Twitter feed” for your recruiting program.

Here’s a discrete preview of what’s on tap for September.
