KIRKLAND, Wash., June 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jobaline.com, a fast growing, mobile and bilingual hourly-jobs marketplace, has achieved Oracle Validated Integration with Oracle Taleo Business Edition Cloud Service. Jobaline.com enables more than 75 million hourly workers in the United States to find and apply for jobs from virtually any computer, tablet, or phone. Jobaline.com pre-qualifies these applicants by verifying their identity, location, ability to follow instructions, and their answers to key skills assessment questions defined by the employer.
In addition, Jobaline.com conducts automated phone interviews of every applicant. That information is then processed and uploaded into Oracle Taleo Business Edition Cloud Service to give hiring managers access to ideal matches for the hourly jobs they have open.
In the hourly-jobs segment, the average hiring manager goes through numerous applications per open position, taking significant time for each job. And, in many cases, the manager ends up contacting many candidates that aren't the right fit. Cutting this time and hiring better employees can save money and improve overall operations. Current corporate users of Jobaline.com are reducing their online marketing spending to acquire these hourly workers by 60% and up to two hours of prescreening time per every open position.
"A significant number of man-hours are wasted in the United States every year on inefficient ways to match workers with jobs," said Jobaline.com co-founder and CEO Luis Salazar. "Thanks to this integration, Jobaline.com will give Oracle Taleo Business Edition Cloud Service users the ability to process job applications in English or Spanish from virtually any mobile device, even via text messaging, and enable automated phone prescreening interviews, to help ensure access to the biggest pool of candidates, while helping to reduce their cost per hire thanks to our pay-per-results solution."
"Achieving Oracle Validated Integration gives our customers confidence that the integration between Jobaline.com and Oracle Taleo Business Edition Cloud Service is functionally sound and performs as tested," said Kevin O'Brien, senior director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle. "For solutions deployed on premise, in the cloud, or both, Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process that helps to reduce deployment risk and improves the user experience of the partner's integrated offering."
Providing mobile access to hourly job applications and moving from pay-per-post or pay-per-click solutions to real pay-per-results models are critical steps in addressing the inefficiencies of the hourly-jobs sector, characterized by over 50% turnover and 40 million hires per year as reported by BLS and the Census Department. Jobaline.com has processed more than 400,000 applications to date, with special focus in Hospitality, Retail and Staffing industries, and is expanding nationwide in the coming months.
