IBM announced that WinHire Technologies,
provider of a video-based social networking solution for virtual recruitment,
has selected the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise solution to roll out their
next generation business model leveraging social media. Making a choice over
Amazon, Win Hire preferred the IBM solution as it allowed them to access a
secure enterprise class shared private cloud computing infrastructure to drive
higher efficiency, manage costs and increase speed-to-market.
WinHire aims to be the market leader by leveraging
technology to improve the recruitment process as well as minimize recruiting
risks and reduce costs. Through the innovative use of social media, WinHire
will provide a platform for virtual interaction between job-seekers and
recruiters.
The IBM SmartCloud Enterprise provides rapid
access to multi-tenant shared cloud computing infrastructure that can be scaled
to the needs of an enterprise and is priced on actual usage. It also offers a
ready to use software catalogue with various licensing options.
WinHire wanted to build and implement a
shared collaborative hiring capability which would be able to address the challenges like identity fraud in the
recruitment process and also replace the early stage of faceless communication
with interactive video interview capability.
Capital expenditure on computing
infrastructure was not an option for WinHire, however IBM’s offering not only
helped the organization avoid the upfront capital expense of procuring
traditional computing infrastructure but also allowed them to build a scalable
environment to keep pace with the dynamic business growth.
Our business model is very unique as the potential of
social media in the recruiting process is not yet leveraged widely in the
recruitment industry. By helping us harness the transformational capabilities
of cloud computing, IBM has given us the technical superiority, security and
scalability and enabled us to take the recruitment industry to the next level,”
said Prabhu, chief operating officer of WinHire.
The IBM SmartCloud Enterprise offering is very
attractive to organization looking to expand quickly and have varying computing
demands. Using the IBM SmartCloud, WinHire
will be able to deploy their application globally much faster via automation
and rapid provisioning to create a competitive edge,” said Akash Saxena, vice
president, Offerings Management & Development, Global Technology Services,
IBM, India/South Asia.
