The Sharon Miller Story - Customer Testimonial
 
StarSearcher customer Sharon Miller has been more than pleased with her purchase of an applicant tracking system

Note: This is the first of a four-part series.

Sharon Miller began her professional career at ADC Telecommunications Inc. in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Gaining solid business experience, she moved on for a brief tenure at SEI Information Technology in Fargo, North Dakota. She was soon recruited for Great Plains Software in 1998 and gained her experience as an internally focused recruiter while there. In January of 2006, Sharon started as an independent recruiter consultant for The Partner Channel, a creative and marketing management resource for Partners who specialize in business solutions software, such as Microsoft Dynamics. In addition to the lively pace of the recruiting roles she's played with Microsoft GP, Sharon has been active in community, regional and state workforce related activities including various speaking engagements for conferences such as the Upper Great Plains Technology Expo.

In late June, Sharon purchased her first applicant tracking software system. Although it's only been a month, she's already discovered many of the benefits StarSearcher has to offer. From effective applicant searches to easy organization, Sharon's clientele is piling up and she's eagerly learning more about her new, state-of-the-art software.

"The StarSearcherATS product is easy to navigate and blends well with my workflow as a professional recruiter. I especially like the keen intuitive nature of the application because I can effectively find what I am looking for in a timely manner. The more I learn about the variety of features, the more productive I will be!"

Sharon Miller, The Partner Channel


What is an Applicant Tracking System?
 
You've heard about this applicant tracking system software, but you don't quite know what it is - let us explain.
question

Designed for HR, applicant tracking systems focus on finding the right applicant for the job before the competition. With American companies needing to fill 55 million jobs by 2014 (U.S. Department of Labor), competition between companies is destined to rise. Many analysts agree, the applicant tracking software industry is on the right track for rapid growth, meaning StarSearcher Resellers will be in a good position in the future.

"It's a pretty strong growth area," said Lisa Rowan, program manager for human resources management and staffing at International Data Corp. Judy Sweeney, research director at Boston-based AMR Research Inc., added, "There aren't a lot of packaged solutions for those recruiters on the market today." Not until now at least. StarSearcher is the right decision for Resellers. Profit, success and satisfaction - all in one.
