It’s been an exciting past few months for Entelo, as we welcomed in a new CEO and completed an expansion of one of our most powerful integrations. Today, we add one more reason for celebration to the list – the appointment of our new VP of Customer Success, Andre Boulais.
Entelo today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Robert Tsao as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors effective immediately. Tsao previously held the positions of Chief Product Officer and Vice President of Strategic Operations at Jobvite.
At Entelo, we want to help our customers make the best decisions for their employees, candidates, families, and businesses. Our goal is to provide exceptional experiences for talent acquisition and we are here to help your hiring team remove obstacles they face during these uncertain times. Given the shift to teams working remotely and the challenge that poses to the interview process, we’ve decided to offer all existing and new Entelo customers without access to digital interviewing, free access to our digital interviewing solutions until June, 30th 2020.
We’re very pleased to be officially announcing our partnership today with Beamery. As a leading vendor in talent engagement and candidate relationship management (CRM), Beamery’s functionality is a logical complement to Entelo’s strength in candidate sourcing and recruiting automation. The combined Entelo-Beamery solution will enable joint customers to source, engage and nurture candidates at every stage of the recruitment funnel.
Here at Entelo, we put a premium on data privacy and data security. As organizations worldwide prepare for increased regulation around data privacy and protection, we are proud to announce that Entelo is now EU-U.S. Privacy Shield-Certified via self-certification and well on our way to GDPR compliance.
Now that Entelo is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, we will continue our long-standing commitment to maintaining adequate safeguards and controls around personal data so that corporations large and small know that they are doing business with a trusted organization.
As a company that specializes in helping other companies find the best candidates, we pride ourselves on "walking the talk" and hiring the best talent in the industry. To that end, I couldn't be more excited to announce the addition of three senior executives to the Entelo team. Gaurav Kataria, Mike Trigg and Yasmin Zarabi will help us fuel Entelo as it reshapes the talent acquisition industry by helping companies to hire better. Please join me in welcoming these three to the team!
Diversity hiring should not be controversial. Beyond being the right thing to do, McKinsey research indicates there are strong business reasons to focus on hiring candidates from different backgrounds and building diverse teams. People from different backgrounds bring unique perspectives and contribute to enhancing team creativity and balance, which can reduce groupthink and enhance problem solving. For the most part, many organizations are bought in on this and have deployed resources toward diversity hiring initiatives. So, the question remains, why aren’t workforces more diverse?
Today I'm excited to announce the launch of Entelo Envoy, a new technology that promises to change how recruiting teams fill their pipelines. We built Envoy after listening to the needs of thousands of recruiters and recognizing that one key need of recruiters stood above the rest: the lack of time to source candidates. Top-performing recruiting organizations know that passive candidate sourcing is a critical component of success. Yet, traditional sourcing approaches can take a lot of time, even with cutting-edge technologies like Entelo.
Today Envoy changes that.
Hello friends!
This is Last Week in Talent, where yours truly runs down all the most interesting, important and intriguing talent and recruiting-related information from the last week in recruiting and hiring.
In case you missed it, Entelo (yes, us!) announced our Series C round last week (ps, we're hiring), Amazon announced they are buying Whole Foods (for the estimated equivalent of 3.7 billion bottles of Kumbucha), Careerbuilder just got bought, Wordpress is closing their super nice SF (office because no one actually uses it), McDonalds is using Snapchat to recruit, Facebook is teaching machines to negotiate with humans, Slack is raising a $500M megaround and Culture Amp announced that they had raised a $20M Series C.
We are proud to announce today that Entelo has closed its Series C financing (press release below and link to TechCrunch article here). This new funding will help move us further toward our vision of building the best technology to empower the modern recruiter. We'll be using the capital to deepen our investment in data science, machine learning, and AI and to build even better products that help to give companies a competitive advantage when it comes to finding talent. Entelo is also opening up a New York office as part of its expansion.
We couldn't be more thrilled about the future and what lies ahead for Entelo and for our industry. We will have more exciting announcements in the coming months and look forward to talking with you about our plans soon. And we're hiring!
Over the last few years we’ve had the privilege of talking to thousands of recruiters about how they do their jobs.
For the increasing number of them who are trying to source hard-to-fill roles (e.g., engineering, design, data science, highly skilled sales and marketing, etc.), a key question to answer is “When are people most likely to leave their current employer?”
After all, if you know that people were statistically much more likely to leave at a certain point, you could optimize your outreach accordingly.
If recruiters aren’t taking a dip in online talent pools, they’re merely treading water in an oversaturated marsh of underqualified candidates.
We're proud to announce another record-setting quarter here at Entelo.
To our customers, I couldn't be more excited to partner with you to bring the power of big data and predictive analytics to talent acquisition and we thank you for your belief in Entelo's product.
And of course, if you're someone who's excited by the power of big data and how it's being used to build some of the fastest-growing companies in the world...we're hiring. :)
