New HR Software Matches Skills with Experience.

A new system, JobQ, developed by Axiom is being launched in August and offers a new solution that incorporates a comprehensive range of assessment tools drawn from established test publishers.

The system is geared to automatic and objective screening, assessment,rating and ranking of applicants and facilitates applicant management and tracking. This combination of matching skills with relevant experience is a key point of differentiation and will better enable employers to evaluate applicants' skills, motivations and fit and thus their ability to succeed in the job role.

Skills matching with relevant experience combined with applicants' motivations and fit increases the likelihood of a successful job match and gives organisations an edge over other employers in an increasingly competitive market.

"Of course, it's important to be able to respond more quickly to strong candidates as soon as they apply. Equally, less time and resources spent sorting and sifting through CVs, interview preparation and interviewing is
key. However, what is fundamental about our approach is that we really do understand the challenges HR professionals face and can bring together proven cost-effective leading-edge technology with a partnership approach,"says Mark Housley, CEO Axiom.

Ideal for organisations that want to continuously improve the process of recruiting and retaining top candidates at all levels including graduates, JobQ creates a recruitment experience which can help to reinforce an organisation's standing as an employer of first choice. Customised corporate branding, role specific online application processes and applicant-to-job matching all contribute to ensuring a seamless recruitment process.

"The way in which you gather, manage and interpret information can be the decisive factor in the battle to win talent. Axiom solves the problem through web-enabled technology that automates the complex, time intensive
processes involved. The result: instant access to vital information,consistency, accuracy and rapid, efficient data processing. It all adds up to more than just software. Axiom delivers informed technology," says Mark
Housley, CEO Axiom.
