Feb. 15. 2011,Montreal
Iscopia, a leading provider of online recruitment and applicant
qualification solutions, and Aurico Reports, a national and
international leader in the field of background screening, today
announced the signing of a multi-year agreement whereby each company
will increase service alternatives for customers by integrating their
offerings to deliver added value and efficiency. Specifically, Iscopia
will make available Aurico Reports’ background screening services to
customers and partners of The Hiring Kit™, Iscopia’s online hiring
solution for small and medium-sized businesses, while Aurico Reports
will provide access to The Hiring Kit for users of its background
screening services.
Leveraging Iscopia’s award-winning AQS™
platform, The Hiring Kit is a complete, online solution created to meet
the specific hiring requirements of SMBs. The Hiring Kit is based on a
user-friendly 3-step process for defining an open job position,
attracting candidates, and then qualifying them. Each of the dozens of
job profiles included with The Hiring Kit includes a customizable,
pre-built job description; links to relevant job boards; job-specific
online tests and questionnaires; candidate ranking reports; interview
guides; and online reference checks. Aurico Reports’ background
screening services supplement the core Hiring Kit offering and will be
made available alongside psychometric testing as an optional paid
service to be used to further validate candidates before a formal job
offer is made.
“We are pleased to offer Aurico Report’s background screening
services to our Hiring Kit customers in the US and Canada,” said
François Plamondon, President and CEO of Iscopia. He added, “The
addition of their offering builds on our philosophy of providing small
and medium-sized businesses with a one-stop shop for all of their hiring
needs.”
“Our suite of background screening solutions help to reduce the risk
of hiring, an important consideration for small and medium-sized
businesses, where the margin for error is small,” declared Ben Goldberg,
Vice President of Aurico Reports Inc. He added, “By taking advantage of
our background screening offering when using Iscopia’s Hiring Kit
solution, small and medium-sized business owners can be sure that the
candidates they attract are as good as they appear or represent
themselves before hiring them.”
