Monster®, the worldwide leader in successfully connecting
people to job opportunities and the flagship brand of Monster
Worldwide (NYSE: MWW) and Kforce
Inc. (NASDAQ:KFRC), today announced they have entered into a
multi-year agreement to deploy Monster’s industry leading Power
Resume Search®, using 6Sense Semantic Search technology,
across Kforce's entire organization. Expanding their existing Monster
contract, Kforce, a professional staffing and solutions firm providing
flexible and permanent staffing solutions in the skill areas of
technology, finance & accounting and health information management, will
be providing to its entire recruiter base access to 6Sense semantic
search for all of its sourcing needs on Monster.com.
Kforce joins a growing number of companies turning to Monster’s 6Sense
semantic search, powering products like Power Resume Search, helping
recruiters make precise talent matches that traditional search engines
cannot uncover.
“We are excited to fully integrate Power Resume Search and 6Sense across
our entire organization. We believe that the precision offered by
Monster’s 6Sense Semantic Search, coupled with Kforce’s National
Recruiting Center (NRC) strategy and proprietary technologies, will
provide an additional advantage for Kforce in the identification of
great talent for our clients,” said Randy Marmon, Kforce’s Chief
Customer Development Officer. Marmon added, “PRS & 6Sense should provide
a great platform for additional partnering initiatives between our
organizations.”
Monster’s Power Resume Search, fueled by 6Sense semantic search
technology, enables employers to find the best candidates quicker by
analyzing resumes as a hiring manager would, by reading resumes and
evaluating skills, while understanding the depths of an individual’s
experience in seconds instead of hours. Semantic search technology goes
far beyond traditional keyword search, saving time and increasing
productivity, allowing recruiters to see resumes in less time with
unprecedented hiring efficiency by providing faster access to better
qualified candidates.
In side-by-side comparisons with competitive sites using standard
keyword search technology, 97 percent of recruiters reported they found
qualified candidates faster when using Monster’s 6Sense search
technology.
“Monster is proud to partner with Kforce in its deployment of our 6Sense
technology and is confident that PRS will become the ‘must-have’
solution for staffing firms in an increasingly competitive environment,”
added Matthew O’Connor, Senior Vice President, Staffing and Software
Solutions for Monster.
