News, Views And Even Some Information You Can Use

As an applicant tracking software vendor we work hard to try and convey the real benefits that users of our solutions can enjoy.  Lower cost of hiring, improve new hire quality and reduce time to fill are some things we talk about.  All true, we do this by using technology to better manage the process.

I stumbled across a post this weekend by someone who recently struggled through the process of trying to fill a couple of vacancies at their company.  

The writer titled the post “Job Search Technology Not User Friendly For Employers”.  You can read ...

“Going Green”, you hear it everywhere. It’s great, we’re becoming more aware of how and what we do impacts the environment around us.  Everybody doing a little bit can go a long way.

Business too is taking up the “Going Green” banner and is changing things that they do.  From the largest corporations on down to the small local businesses in your neighborhood, each is taking steps to change old and outdated ways and processes.  Things like changing to renewable forms of energy, recycling, and of course, implementing technologies that allow them to do more with less.

What’s really great ...

A belated Happy New Year.  Thank you one and all, for making last year such a success.

We couldn't be more excited about the prospects for the New Year here at Eon Applications. All of the economic signs point to a steady (albeit slow) recovery in the jobs market and overall economy. Hiring is picking up across a broad spectrum of industries and we continue to see a lot of interests from companies looking to improve on their talent acquisition strategies.   

Last year kept us pretty busy with the additional launch of the Express and Professional editions of AcquireTM last ...

I am pleased to announce that AcquireTM Express is now available. More than just a scaled down version of AcquireTM Enterprise, Express has really been designed for the companies out there that are still tracking resumes and managing hiring with spread sheets and email. AcquireTM Express gives small business easy-to-use applicant tracking system that’s a great 1^st step into hiring automation.

The idea behind offering an Express version was simple. Provide a Web based login that could be shared within the company (let’s face it in most small companies the hiring hat is worn by multiple people). Include an integrated ...

With what seems to be and endless stream of mixed messages regarding jobs and employment these days, I thought this new Index from Intuit offers a bright spot that’s worth sharing. While the numbers aren’t earth shattering, they certainly bare out what we have been seeing and hearing from our own customers.

According to the just released Intuit Small Business Employment Index, small businesses, companies with fewer than 20 employees (as defined by Intuit) have been cautiously adding to their payrolls.

The Intuit Small Business Employment Index, released March 1^st, is based on data from 50,000 customers ...

What makes up a good hiring and applicant tracking solution for small and mid-size business? There are of course a number of factors; cost (both initial and ongoing), ease-of-use, does it require significant IT support and how well does it solve the business problem it was designed to address.  I’m sure that I can come up with others but I tend to think that they’re still derived from these four core issues. 

As a software development company focused in the small and mid-size market space, we take each into consideration. When designing AcquireTM this was no exception; we thought long ...

Happy New Year!

It feels good just to say it and nice to know that it means we're moving on from last year. No one that I've talked to will be sad to see it go.

At Eon Applications we see a lot of promise in the New Year and one of the new things we're excited to share is the release of AcquireTM. Acquire is a complete applicant tracking and hiring management software that we have developed specifically for HR and corporate recruiting. Developed using the latest Web 2.0 technology, we believe that AcquireTM offers something unique, from it's ...
