Ready, Set, Recruit! Talent Acquisition Leader MrTed Launches Free Applicant Tracking System

San Francisco (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Game-Changing Initiative has Potential to Revolutionize ATS
Market

Seizing on the opportunity to help cash- and credit-strapped
small and midsized businesses, MrTed Ltd., a recognized leader in
talent acquisition solutions, today announced the beta availability
of SmartRecruiters, a 100% free applicant tracking system (ATS) for
corporate recruiters and hiring managers. Designed for businesses
with as many as 2,500 employees, SmartRecruiters is easy to use,
works in two minutes, and runs every facet of a recruiter's business.
Recruiters and hiring managers can sign up for SmartRecruiters today
at http://www.smartrecruiters.com.

SmartRecruiters meets the needs of a new generation of Web savvy
SMB recruiters. Unlike their predecessors, SMB recruiters in 2008 are
very comfortable using online tools to find and recruit employee
talent. SmartRecruiters fits this mold-and breaks the mold of
conventional ATS products-by combining powerful functionality with
ease-of-use.

"In providing a free solution for the masses, we are doing
something that has never been done before," said Jérôme Ternynck,
CEO, MrTed. "There are six million small businesses in the US with as
many as 2,500 employees. SmartRecruiters can help each of these hire
faster, better and smarter. We are telling small businesses, 'Throw
away your old ATS, you don't need it anymore!' You can turn off your
old system today and be up-and-running with SmartRecruiters in less
than two minutes."

Everything You Need From an ATS - Except the Invoice

SmartRecruiters is free, limitless and easy to use, with an open
architecture that connects users to other recruiters and essential
pay-per-use services such as job posts and background checks. A solid
set of features allow recruiters to tailor the look-and-feel of
corporate career Web sites, front office and online application
forms. Recruiters can edit job ads in real-time, rate candidates,
screen candidates and track history of actions and interactions with
candidates-all for free from within the application. Users never pay
for application hosting, installation, maintenance, upgrades,
additional users or storage, and the system is so easy, zero training
is necessary. SmartRecruiters is EEOC and OFCCP compliant.

In addition to being the first free, full-featured ATS,
SmartRecruiters also is pioneering a new segment of the SaaS category
known as 'Open SaaS.' Open SaaS is the next revolution in on-demand
software delivery. A mash-up of SaaS and open source concepts, Open
SaaS is completely free of charge and places no limits or
restrictions on the user. Similar to SaaS applications, Open SaaS
solutions are Web-based and hosted, supported and maintained by the
service provider. While the roadmap for Open SaaS applications is
defined by its community, upgrades and enhancements are implemented
by a central provider. Open SaaS solutions typically derive revenue
through alternative channels such as pay-per-use services.

"With few exceptions, the Applicant Tracking Systems currently
available present a long list of barriers to success for SMB
recruiters," said Rick Fletcher, president of HRchitect, the leading
talent management systems consulting firm. "Even with their fee-based
models, many of the existing ATS vendors are not financially viable
long-term due to increasing costs to support their non-SaaS based
applications. A lack of configuration tools in these systems
compounds the problem for recruiters, who must try to 'insert a
square peg into a round hole' by using these applications as-is, or
continue to write checks to vendors for software customization.
MrTed's Open SaaS SmartRecruiters solution offers a welcome relief to
the growing SMB recruiter market segment."
