What is Hirechain?

Hirechain started life as a simple web-based survey tool used to pre-interview candidates. This functionality was expanded to manage career fairs and hire-ups. After a few months, it was realized that a full blown solution was needed to integrate current employee data, company-wide job postings, outside recruiting companies, multiple job boards and applicant tracking. Working with Greg Spangle of AIMCO, a supply chain model was adopted and development began in Q3, 2006.

Hirechain provides end-to-end applicant tracking and CRM from the point of delivery to onboarding. It also manages job postings with Monster, CareerBuilder, Hot Jobs and Google Base. Print ad management and a full reporting suite are also part of the Hirechain system. Hirechain receives current employee and company data from data feeds from Lawson, Peoplesoft and Plateau. Hirechain is HR-XML compliant.

Hirechain is expected to be 100% live in Q2, 2007.
