• Lumesse met requirements for powerful, configurable SaaS solution accessible across the U.S.

London/Austin, Texas: 9 February, 2012 - Lumesse, a global leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced that G4S has selected Lumesse to implement a new Lumesse TalentLink (talent acquisition/e-recruitment) solution throughout the U.S.

G4S is the world's leading international security group working to safeguard the welfare and prosperity of millions of people globally. It is headquartered in the UK with international offices in 125 countries, employs 635,000+ people and maintains a focus on hiring highly committed, talented and specialized staff.

In the U.S. G4S provides a unique combination of personnel, project management, investigative services, risk management and technology security solutions delivered by a number of specialist business units, and needed a single applicant tracking solution to support the hiring requirements across all employee levels within each business.

Last year G4S conducted a complete review of its multiple U.S. recruitment processes, which led to the decision to implement a local version of its award winning career centre technology and to identify the best partner in the U.S. to automate its existing paper-based candidate processing and management activity.

Lumesse demonstrated its ability to seamlessly integrate with the G4S career centre, support G4S's commitment to legislative excellence and provide fully configurable functionality to automate and manage multiple recruitment processes. Equally it gave G4S senior management the confidence to deliver a solution that local hiring managers and recruiters could use effectively.

Lumesse has already begun implementing TalentLink for G4S.

Jenni Myles, chief HR officer, G4S Americas, said, "There were several key objectives of the G4S evaluation, which included providing the best and most engaging candidate experience, exceeding legislative compliance, reducing the time-to-hire to drive efficiency into the hiring process, redeploying saved management hours and reducing the cost per hire.  The Lumesse TalentLink solution will fully meet our needs. It will give us an innovative approach to recruitment that will make a real difference in filling all positions, as well as reducing the administrative burden in the recruitment process. One of the most exciting opportunities will be to demonstrate to our customers how advanced and robust our recruitment process is and to show how we will continually ensure to provide the very best people in the volumes they require."

According to Lumesse CEO, Matthew Parker, "With Lumesse TalentLink, G4S will benefit from improved employer branding, faster turnaround, improved candidate communication and reduced cost-to-hire in a highly competitive market for volume and specialized security skills. As a true SaaS solution, it offers a highly-effective way to deploy an enterprise-class talent acquisition solution to a global organization."
