Talent Chaser: Taking Talent Management to the Next Level Written by: Michele McDonough • Edited by: Carly Smith Published Oct 24, 2012

Does your organization view recruitment and performance evaluation as two entirely separate functions? Maybe it’s time to rethink that stance.

Finding the Right Match: Why does an employee excel at one organization but not perform as well at a seemingly similar position with another? A lot of the conversations surrounding this topic focus on the factors that motivate workers, but trying to figure this out is not quite as cut and dry as many would like to believe. As a result, today’s HR professionals look at more than just skill sets and past work experience when making hiring decisions. How do you find a person who is a good “fit” for the job?

The staff turnover rate three years ago at the Chesapeake branch of Volunteers of America was 67 percent. The non-profit organization’s charter had been revoked, and the management was on its way out. When new management came in, a top priority was to improve the way in which employees were hired, managed and evaluated. The experience, as IT Director Robinson Neidhardt recently recounted it to me, offers insight into the value of a fresh outlook, new technology and diligent change management.

Volunteers of America Chesapeake Receives Computerworld’s Best of Business Intelligence Editor’s Choice Award 2012 for Its Deployment of Talent Chaser. Talent Chaser software is the first and only evidence-based recruitment method that assists with the recruitment of personnel and also the day-to-day management of staff – two functions which have traditionally operated independently from one another. Unlike other recruitment and staff management software solutions, only Talent Chaser help companies manage change more efficiently by using hard evidence to identify, execute and support human resource decisions. The non-profit organization, VOA Chesapeake, implemented Talent Chaser to examine its performance evaluation and new-hire screening process. As a result, the non-profit increased their revenue per employee 24 percent over the past year while reducing the number of the people on its payroll by 100. Annual staff turnover was reduced by an impressive 43 percent.

The Cambridge Don released its flagship product, Talent Chaser, designed to be the first and only evidence-based recruitment and daily staff management software for organizations of all sizes.The scalable software is designed to assist with the recruitment of personnel and the day-to-day management of staff by using hard evidence to identify, execute and support human resource decisions.

The evidence-based recruitment software is designed to be used by C-level executives, managers, or recruitment and human resource personnel. Talent Chaser is designed to offer evidence-based applicant screening that works by accurately analyzing which person is appropriate for which job position. It utilizes a 20-minute multiple-choice performance-profile questionnaire that is designed to identify behavioral tendencies within an organization and compare them with actual performance ratings for specific job positions in the solution’s performance-appraisal module.

Price starts at $3.25 per applicant.

Computerworld – If there’s a homeless shelter, drug abuse recovery program, senior center or housing services agency for the disabled in your community, there’s a good chance that it is supported by the Volunteers of America, which has 36 affiliated chapters around the country. Like all VOA chapters, VOA Chesapeake relies on contributions and volunteers from a variety of corporations, charitable groups and individuals to support its programs

The Cambridge Don, a long-standing member of the Association of Test Publishers and developers of Talent Chaser – the first and only evidence-based recruitment and daily staff management software – has announced that their human resource software solution enabled the non-profit organization Volunteers of America Chesapeake to increase their revenue per employee 24 percent over the past year and win a prestigious award in the process.

Dan Lombardo, CEO of charitable organization Volunteers of America, was experiencing a talent management problem. The organization’s turnover rate was 96%, and the existing recruitment and performance management procedures were not bolstering retention. “We had a routine hiring package and an annual performance evaluation that supervisors hated and employees hated,” he said

A new recruitment and talent management software program has been released. Talent Chaser bills itself as the first recruitment and daily staff management software running on the evidence based recruitment method. The software program brings together two functions that typically operate independently by combining scalable personnel recruitment with daily management of staff.
