Award for Outstanding Innovation
Dreamforce Europe. Barbican Centre, London.
Fairsail – a suite of breakthrough applications for best practice in Human Capital Management – won the award for outstanding partner innovation with the Force.com Platform at salesforce.com’s Dreamforce user and developer conference at London’s Barbican centre, 7-8 May.
Colin Cooper, CEO and founder of Fairsail, explains “Until now, many HR applications have been notoriously difficult to use. Managers are busy people with little time to grapple with tricky technology, and HR managers don’t want software that demands lots of admin time. They all need an application that is as easy to use as Facebook. Just as Facebook wires up social and family networks: Fairsail 2.0 wires up internal company networks. Fairsail 2.0 draws on HR expertise to support the formal manager-employee reporting relationships through performance management, talent management, development, and – through Fairsail Recruit – dovetails with really focused competency-based recruitment. But these tools also facilitate the broader and more informal networking that’s often hard to coordinate between teams and project groups.”
Fairsail Recruit Launches at Dreamforce Europe
Barbican Centre, London.
Fairsail Recruit, an On-Demand application that brings professional recruitment in house, was launched today at Dreamforce Europe.
Fairsail Recruit integrates and audits the whole process of recruitment – from specifying job requirements to making an offer – and contains pre-built expertise to make hiring straightforward for even inexperienced sales and customer support managers.
Fairsail Recruit provides an off-the-shelf process on force.com with built in job requirement profiles for salespeople, sales managers, account managers and pre-sales roles, and it is ideal for typical Salesforce users. It also provides the ability and flexibility to tune or replace profiles for more specialist and other roles. And, best of all, it includes expert interview tips and advice, plus a wide range of interview questions to test applicants’ competencies.
Colin Cooper, founder and CEO of Fairsail, explains “Sales and customer service team managers are finding it increasingly hard to attract talented people to maintain and grow their businesses, and can no longer rely on their favourite “killer question” to select winners. Recruitment has to be professional and rapid to catch the best people before they get away. At Dreamforce 07 in San Francisco customers told us they needed, as well as a suite of Human Capital Management tools, a great recruitment system. Now here it is.
“Using Fairsail Recruit and Fairsail 2.0 managers can select winners, develop their skills, and ensure fantastic results – making their companies where the best people want to work”.
