SEATTLE, Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ABM (NYSE:ABM), a
leading provider of integrated facility solutions, signed a
multi-year national agreement with Jobaline Inc., a mobile and
bilingual hourly jobs matching marketplace and training network.
Jobaline will assist ABM's rapid growth by facilitating faster
access to skilled workers and reducing pre-screening and
recruitment costs. ABM employs more than 100,000 skilled,
hardworking people in more than 300 offices throughout the U.S.
"ABM deeply cares about the experience of their workers and we
are very proud of our partnership," said Jobaline CEO, Luis Salazar. "The workforce today accesses the
internet from mobile devices first and foremost, and we want to
ensure people can apply to any job, regardless of their level of
access to technology, and get matched to the best opportunity.
Since starting to work together with Jobaline in 2014, ABM has seen
great results in our field operations, helping to put people back
to work faster while their field operations save substantial
time."
During the ABM-Jobaline program's pilot phase, more than 45,000
job applications were processed and ABM saved more than 7,500 hours
in pre-screening, and reduced recruitment advertising and labor
costs by more than 60 percent if compared with traditional
methods.
ABM first started to use Jobaline's technology in Seattle, recruiting for security and
janitorial services positions. They later expanded to the whole
West Coast region, where ABM won several marquee customers, such as
the new NFL stadium in Santa Clara. Using a mobile, bilingual and
compliant application process, they filled over 500 janitorial
positions in record time, delivering on the client's needs while
saving thousands of hours reviewing job applications.
"As a result of the success reported by their field operations
in the West, East and South regions, we are excited that ABM is
expanding nationally with Jobaline," said Salazar. "Jobaline gives
recruiters peace of mind that their hiring efforts are being
handled in a professional manner, creating the best possible match
for the worker and in compliance with EEOC and OFCCP guidelines.
Our solution is allowing ABM's recruiters to stay focused on the
needs of their employees, their clients and the growth of their
business."
In the past 18 months, Jobaline processed close to two million
mobile and EEOC compliant job applications, creating a network of
close to one million highly qualified local hourly workers that are
treated with respect in a mobile experience, free of advertising
and marketing solicitations.
"The hourly jobs sector is 76 million workers strong and
represents two-thirds of the U.S. labor force, yet inefficiencies
in recruiting and training for that workforce costs employers
billions," concluded Salazar. "By working closely with the team at
ABM, we are enabling them to put people back to work faster and
more efficiently."
