Newton has made a leap into the European recruiting market by signing Prime RPO, a UK-based recruitment process outsourcing company. Prime RPO picked Newton based on our software’s flexible nature that was easily adaptable to the needs of a UK recruitment outsourcer.

Charlotte Murdoch, Prime RPO’s head of product delivery, spoke openly about why they picked Newton in a recent article on Recruiter UK: “Initially I was sceptical that a US provider would fully understand – and be able to deliver on – what we needed in the UK and globally thereafter,” she said. “But it was refreshing to get guidance from an ex-RPO recruiter who was able to translate the software jargon and what it meant in real terms for our customers and/or users.”

We look forward to continue to gain global market share by showing our international customers the features that have made Newton so successful in the US.  These features concentrate on solving fundamental problems for RPOs like applicant experience, hiring manager experience, and user adoption.

We just made it faster and easier to analyze your recruiting program using Newton. Now you’ll see a tab on your home page called “Analytics” replacing the “Overview” tab. Click the Analytics tab to open a an interactive dashboard that will help you slice and dice you recruiting program. You can analyze your recruiting data based on a selected period of time or by job, or both.

This release, v3.6, is the first of several planned releases to tackle analytics. With a focus on measuring stage-to-stage metrics, we wanted to help our customers answer fundamental questions.

• Where do I have bottlenecks?
• Where can I get involved to make an immediate impact?
• Is everyone in the process doing their part?
• Am I spending money on the right resources?

Most importantly, we want to give our customers the power to know when something is going wrong before anyone else notices -to be proactive. After all, as John, our product manager, says, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

We hope you like it.
