SmartRecruiters breaks down more hiring boundaries with RAMP.Global

RAMP.Global has announced that its agency management module is now available on SmartRecruiters, the enterprise hiring platform. The application has a listing on the SmartRecruiters Marketplace. There is also a page on the RAMP.Global site about the integration.

Organisations often turn to agencies as they seek ways to efficiently hire new staff. Working with multiple agencies can be challenging. But working with a single agency often narrows the candidate field too much, especially when seeking employees for different roles.

SmartRecruiters provides an all-in-one hiring platform. While it provides integrations to job and career sites, its links to agencies are less well-developed. About a decade ago, it opened up its marketplace for recruitment agencies and has now taken a huge leap forward.

The RAMP.Global platform enables organisations to source, procure, supply and pay agencies, completing the engagement lifecycle. Organisations like Visa, LinkedIn and Bosch can now contract and manage third-party agencies in a single application. Importantly, it means that they can deliver consistency across engagements. And create stronger relationships appropriate for the role being hired for.

Rebecca Carr, Chief Product Officer, SmartRecruiters commented, “It’s incredibly important to us that we bring transparency to the recruitment market by giving our customers true visibility of the agencies available to them to fulfil their talent acquisition needs. As two technology-led businesses striving to improve the world of recruitment, we are proud to add the unique capabilities of RAMP.Global’s platform to our offering to provide the very best service to our valued customers.”

Who are RAMP.Global?

The RAMP.Global platform includes a network of 21,000 vetted suppliers from over 40 countries worldwide. It enables organisations to find the right candidates in the right location for every role. The integration with SmartRecruiters should mean information about candidates should flow into the system without having to rekey. However, details of what the integration includes were unavailable.

RAMP.Global believes that its solution can reduce agency costs by 20% and reduce the time spent managing agencies by over 50%, a significant saving.

John Paul Caffery, Founder and CEO of RAMP.Global, said, “As we continue our exciting growth journey, we’re proud to integrate with such a well-renowned HR industry player in SmartRecruiters. It’s a move that clearly demonstrates our ‘digital-first’ approach and we’re looking forward to supporting SmartRecruiters’ global customer base by transforming the way they can manage and engage agencies as part of their talent acquisition strategy.

“In a fast-moving and ever-evolving recruitment market, employers must adopt a strategic, agile approach to hiring talent in order to stay ahead of the competition. Solving this challenge is the very reason RAMP.Global exists, and alongside SmartRecruiters we are excited to continue to drive real business impact for global enterprises this year and beyond through our digital-first platform.”

Enterprise Times: What does this mean

SmartRecruiters aims to enable “Hiring Without Boundaries”; this latest integration removes the barriers often separating firms from agencies. It will free up talent acquisition teams to focus on their real value rather than spend time managing agencies.

While details of what the integration delivers were unavailable, these should filter out over the next few hours or days. Certainly, for those organisations already using SmartRecruiters and multiple agencies, RAMP.Global is well worth a look. The integration also means that prospects with similar challenges might also consider the combination.

This is not the only Applicant Tracking System that RAMP.Global integrates with. It also has integrations with Avature, SoftwareOne, SAP SuccessFactors and iCIMS.
