INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Almost every company has a talent problem
Today, Beamery announced a fully integrated platform to help solve that problem.Company co-founder and CEO Abakar Saidov says that while
drawing and retaining talent can provide organizations with a key strategic advantage, there has been a dearth of digital tools to help
he said.While there are point solutions for different parts of the process, Beamery recognized an opportunity to deliver a more complete
retaining talent, which Saidov says lines up in a way like a sales and marketing process
The problem as he sees it, is that the tools available for sales and marketing lack a set of features companies need when it comes to
talent.Each of the three components of the Beamery solution have been designed with helping companies move through the talent workflow
Attracting involves setting up micro sites for recruiting on the company website that are linked to Beamery, along with an event planning
tool for setting up something like a campus recruitment day.The Engage component involves a talent CRM database and marketing tools, while
the Retain piece is about helping employees apply for internal jobs and survey tools to get feedback throughout the process.The solution
also involves linking to other enterprise systems, so there is a middleware piece that enables companies to connect to other tools
needed a more complete solution
Just as salespeople might find prospects in LinkedIn, then manage the customer relationship in a CRM tool, recruiters can find candidates in
LinkedIn and manage the recruitment process in Beamery
Microsoft bought LinkedIn in 2016 for $26.2 billion.)The company has raised $40 million so far, according to Saidov, and today it has 160
employees based in London, with offices in San Francisco and Austen.
