PivotCX Continues to Shake Up How Recruiting Gets Done by Adding Real-Time Video to it’s Talent Acquisition Communications Hub

Video is the latest communication channel to be added as part of PivotCX’s mission to empower every recruiting team on the planet to make better hires faster. 

INDIANAPOLIS (September 13, 2022) –  PivotCX, an HR technology company that is transforming the recruiting process with its all-in-on talent acquisition communications hub, today announced the release of its beta version of its Real-Time Video communications.  As with all past communication channels incorporated into the hub, the addition of video will also provide the same level of interoperability across all existing channels already in place.  

PivotCX is reinventing how recruiting gets done by creating an “all-in-one” communication hub that enables recruiting teams to communicate the right information with the right candidates over the right communication channel at the right time.  The product can be deployed in a number of different ways as it is able to be used as a stand-alone solution, or can be integrated into any system or tool that recruiting teams already have in place.  

Being able to engage with and to develop meaningful relationships with all candidates, recruiters and hiring managers is what is at the heart of Talent Acquisition.  Everything else are the administrative process steps required to get recruiting done. PivotCX is a comprehensive toolkit of modern-day communication tools, combined with interactive use cases that are purpose-built for Talent Acquisition.  The PivotCX communications hub is able to address both the administration steps of the process as well as providing recruiting teams with the ability to directly engage with candidates and hiring managers at the speed and scale required to be successful in today’s recruiting environment.

“We see the introduction of video as the latest in a long string of communication tools on our roadmap that will enable recruiting teams to turn their Talent Acquisition function into a company’s competitive advantage,” said Howard Bates, CEO and Co-founder. “We understand that successful recruiting outcomes are dependent on being able to communicate effectively and to capture the information needed in a timely manner.  “The introduction of video furthers our mission of being able to empower recruiting teams and hiring managers to increase the velocity and momentum of their processes, along with dramatically enhancing a candidate’s experience” Bates said.

“Everyday we think deeply about how to make the recruiting experience more engaging, productive, and enjoyable by developing the most robust communication tools that remove the friction and latency in the communication and data flows in the current process” says Mike Seidle, CTO and Co-founder.  “Today, companies are operating their Talent Acquisition processes using legacy tools and communication channels that do not scale or enable them to keep pace with the dynamic nature of the market and candidate expectations for timely feedback.  Video is another way that we’ll enable teams to function with the level of immediacy and scale to make recruiting work” Seidle said.  

The addition of real-time video in conjunction with the current functionality of SMS, and Voice,  exponentially increases the immediacy of being able to communicate with and collect information from candidates and hiring managers.  Further, the incorporation of video enables recruiting teams to nurture critical talent throughout the entire hiring process.  Video is a vital tool to enable recruiting teams to operate with speed while also being able to build relationships and to provide an excellent candidate experience.

PivotCX’s Real-Time video communication is currently available in beta.  It is expected to be generally available by the end of Q4, 2022. Those interested in seeing the product can stop by Booth 514B for a demonstration during the HR Technology Conference in Las Vegas from September 13-15th or can request a demo directly here.

Merge Announces New Customer, PivotCX, Powering 38 ATS Integrations

by | Sep 12, 2022 | Blog, Press

Merge, the Unified API for B2B integrations, today announced that its ATS Unified API is powering integrations for PivotCX, a communications hub for talent acquisition. PivotCX now supports integrations with 38 popular Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), including Workday and Taleo, using Merge’s ATS Unified API. PivotCX orchestrates conversations across communication channels such as text, voice, video, and email. The ATS integrations provided through the Merge Unified API enable PivotCX to dramatically increase recruiter productivity while also providing a streamlined candidate experience.

“We’re thrilled to see Unified APIs unlocking new integrations and customer experiences. PivotCX is making it easier for recruiters and candidates to coordinate, and hire people faster, using integrations with ATS tools,” said Shensi Ding, CEO and Co-Founder of Merge. “PivotCX’s support for 38 integrations at once is a testament to how Unified APIs make it easier than ever to offer customers all of the integrations they want.”

PivotCX selected Merge based on the breadth and depth of the platform’s ATS integration support. Mike Seidle, CTO and Co-Founder of PivotCX, observes that Merge “takes a very systematic approach to integrations with a Unified API. Merge creates a universal model for ATS data that greatly simplifies the work for my team.”

PivotCX has already seen market traction and new clients from the expanded ATS integration support. Mike Seidle observes that the “ability to load candidate data directly from ATS tools allows employers to start recruiting conversations immediately. ATS integrations just landed us a contract with the largest employer in our home state of Indiana.” PivotCX’s EVP Corp Dev & Strategy, David Bernstein, notes that expanding integration support with “a Unified API frees up our development team to focus on bringing on new customers, rather than building and maintaining integrations. Merge is a fundamental piece of our growth strategy.”

Pivot to First Episode 4: Ton Dobbe on Creating and Growing a Successful SaaS Company

Pivot to First Episode 4: Ton Dobbe on Creating and Growing a Successful SaaS Company from PivotCX on Vimeo.

In addition to podcast hosting, Ton Dobbe is the author of The Remarkable Effect and a SaaS Strategy consultant. Mike appeared on Ton’s podcast Tech Entrepreneur on a Mission Season 4, Ep. 163 published 4/26/2021. This time around, Mike hosts Ton.

For Ton, starting his podcast goes hand in hand with establishing his own consultancy. He wanted to learn how to build a remarkable software business from successful entrepreneurs. His desire to learn from the best soon became a flow and after 60 -70 episodes someone encouraged him to write a book discussing and distilling all the wisdom enshrined in the podcast.

In this episode, Mike and Ton talk about:

– What do entrepreneurs need to do to be one of those companies everyone keeps talking about? It’s all about assessing where you stand today and having a vision to guide your and your team’s actions.

– How important is talent to grow a successful SaaS company? People and cultural fit a are part of the process. Different people are needed at different stages.

– SaaS entrepreneurs have a lot on their plate and sometimes they don’t have a full picture, what are they getting wrong? Everybody makes bad hires, but how you deal with those issues makes all the difference. Also, not getting stuck in ideas and other types of silos can give companies a leg up.

– When a company isn’t in an upshot, how do companies assess where they stand and figure out how to get on a growth path? According to some statistics, 9 out of 10 startups fail and 75% of scaleups fail. These figures make it imperative for companies to find the right market fit and positioning to sustain growth.

Finding the right talent for the right role at the right time, having a clear vision with buy-in from everyone involved, as well as adding value for your customers – solving their needs and problems – can lead a struggling or plateaued company to sustained success.

Pivot to First Podcast: Jo Dodds on Employee Engagement

Pivot to First Podcast: Jo Dodds on Employee Engagement

by | Apr 12, 2022 | Blog, Podcast

In this podcast episode, Mike chats with Jo Dodds, host of the podcast Engage for Success and a leader of the employee engagement movement.

Ever since the Engaging for Success was published in 2009, Jo has been at the forefront of advocating for best practices in employee engagement. Employee engagement and success have grown into an important cornerstone of a successful company. While hard to define, employee success can be considered as people need to have something meaningful about their work to do the best job they can. Employee experience is the next step forward.

With the Great Resignation, people are shuffling across companies but not everyone is finding that they’re getting what they signed up for. Companies lose good people because they are not talking to everyone. Start out with the supposition that ALL CANDIDATES are good people to talk with and you’ll do a much better job with recruiting.

Important to a successful employee engagement strategy is to focus on the 4 enablers:

1. Strategic Narrative – Visible, empowering leadership providing a strong strategic narrative about the organization, where it’s come from, and where it’s going

2. Engaging Managers – who focus on their people and give them scope, treat their people as individuals, and coach and stretch their people.

3. Employee Voice – Employees are seen not as the problem, but rather as central to the solution, to be involved, listened to, and invited to contribute their experience, expertise, and ideas.

4. Organizational Integrity – the values on the wall are reflected in day-to-day behaviors. There is no ‘say–do’ gap. Promises made and promises kept, or an explanation given as to why not.
