Umantis and Firstbird (today: Radancy) announce strategic partnership. This links the digital employee referral program of Firstbird (today: Radancy) with the Umantis Applicant Management. Thanks to the strategic partnership, companies can now easily integrate employee referrals into their recruiting workflow and benefit from the combined software know-how of both experts.
Imagine if a company in your area had advertised a position that matched your profile. When would the offer be more interesting for you: If you are made aware of it by a recruiter – or if a good friend suggests you to apply? The answer is that relationships are key. And so recruitment becomes more authentic and successful when it uses personal recruiting strategies.
Making recruiting more personal
People are at the heart of Umantis. Therefore, the goal of Umantis Talent is to accompany and empower talents along the entire talent journey. A personal recommendation can be at the very beginning of the talent journey. It creates real trust and enables a personal connection. At the same time, it helps the company to find talent with the right cultural fit and mindset.
"We take recruiting personally" – that's what Umantis and Firstbird (today: Radancy) have in common. Through our partnership, we now support our clients even better in finding suitable candidates faster and more cost-effectively.
"While the automation of recruiting processes and increasing remote hiring increase efficiency, employee referrals maintain personal contact and mutual trust between candidates and companies," says Arnim Wahls, CEO of Firstbird.
Employees become brand ambassadors
Employee referrals open up the personal networks of the company's own employees for personnel recruitment. Your employees become ambassadors of the company. They advertise authentically for their employer and increase the reach of job advertisements.
At the same time, employees are given a voice in the recruiting process. In this way, they feel included and can actively shape the company. Bonuses for recruiting success promote support for the program and express appreciation.
Jens Bender, Managing Director at Umantis Talent Management, says about the partnership: "There is still a lot of potential in recruiting. We want to help our customers take advantage of them. We believe that empowering employees to incorporate their networks into recruiting and thus help shape them is an important building block that makes companies even more successful in their search for talent. We call this enablement Talent Empowerment and we are excited to support our customers with Firstbird (now Radancy) as a strategic partner."
Ideally integrated into the workflow
No complex integration project is required to link the employee recruitment solution with Umantis Applicant Management . There are therefore no integration costs. Users of Umantis applicant management can simply extend their solution to include the employee recruitment program. Umantis remains the central point of contact. Umantis Applicant Management customers can look forward to attractive introductory offers at the start of the strategic partnership.
HR managers always have an overview because applications via the referral program are directly available and traceable in Umantis Applicant Management . Employee referrals also allow you to reach suitable candidates who are not currently looking for a job. External recruiting costs, such as for headhunters and external job advertisements, can be measurably reduced.
Katharina Beck, Lead Global Alliances at Firstbird (today: Radancy), says: "We value Umantis as a strong partner and global player at our side. Together, we are perfecting the recruiting lifecycle for HR managers and offering all services from a single source."
