June 2007 - HRVision Releases SavvyRecruiter Version 3.2
Developed in response to recent market trends towards versatile selection solutions, SavvyRecruiter Version 3.2 brings the HRVision assessment product up to the next level with several novel and innovative features. Among the new features is LightSavvyClient, a remote assessment tool developed to support and facilitate integrated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) in an increasingly global oriented market. Aimed to counteract the logistic difficulties associated with a lack of testing facilities, this product ensures a more effective candidate filtering process by enabling examinees to perform specified tests from their home or any remote environment. Additionally, Version 3.2 introduces a first of its kind competency profiling platform that gives organizations a mechanism to define, select and integrate various trait based competencies (competency profiling tool) in relation to a specific job. Unlike other existing competency profilers, the HRVision tool differentiates itself by being the only mechanism that automatically generates a weighted competency test battery and report based on the same elements used in the competency creation process.
March 2007 - HRVision Announces Remote Assessment Tool
HRVision Ltd. has recently announced the addition of SavvyLightClient, a remote assessment tool developed to support the widely growing human resources management trend towards integrated Application Tracking Systems (ATS). Aimed to counteract the logistic difficulties encountered in various organizations with regard to testing facilities (e.g., lack of infrastructure in satellite retail and fast food operations) this product enables candidates to perform specified selection tests from their home or any remote environment. Utilizing minimal computer resources and entailing an easy setup procedure, a candidates' designated test battery can now be accessed from any location with a user name and password sent to them by the host organization. Once the test has been performed, the program automatically removes itself from the candidates' computer without a trace but not without first having stored and encrypted the test results in the host organization's database. Furthermore, by incorporating an optional "pause on fail" integrity test in the test battery, the SavvyLightClient can be utilized as a primary screening tool for a wide population, by transparently filtering out potentially dishonest employees with an automatic cessation of the testing process upon a failed integrity result. Utilizing the integrity test alone, or as part of the comprehensive testing battery SavvyLightClient can be seamlessly bundled into the full hiring process without the presence of the candidate required at the testing phase.
January 2007 - European Retailers Employing SavvyIntegrity Testing System
Increasingly aware of the tremendous negative impact that employee theft has on business profits (30.4 % of total shrinkage figures), European retailers have begun to employ integrity testing as a way of minimizing internal employee theft within their organization. This trend as reported in the largest retail survey ever taken, " The European Retail Theft Barometer" (Center for Retail Research) is reflected in the actions of Dutch companies such as T-Mobile and Vodafone who are now utilizing selection systems such as HRVision’s SavvyIntegrity as a means to filter out dishonest individuals from their candidate pool early in the recruitment stage. HRVision Ltd, presently the only company providing integrity systems to leading European markets, are the developers of a unique 20 minute multimedia integrity test whose aim is to attenuate the millions of Euros lost to employee theft each year. In the UK, Effectivate manager Tim Hodder, a distributor for SavvyRecruiter computer based assessment testing system, imparts that retailers are finally acknowledging the importance of prescreening for integrity and are starting to look into sophisticated methods to more effectively filter out dishonest candidates. "Forward looking companies", says Tim Hodder, "are no longer willing to turn a blind eye to the scale of the employee theft problem. Retail companies are now open to the idea that it is justifiable and cost effective to assess integrity and subsequently identify troublesome individuals before they become employees.”

May 2005 - Dutch Cooking School (Jamie Oliver) Utilizes SavvyRecruiter
Hudson Netherlands a division of Hudson Highland Group (a world leading professional recruitment and human capital solutions provider), has selected HRVision's SavvyRecruiter™ as their preferred assessment tool to recruit applicants for a renown cooking school in their region. In this uniquely crafted venture, Hudson Netherlands has assisted famed English chef, Jamie Oliver and his Dutch team in identifying candidates with the right potential, for the Dutch version of "Jamie's Kitchen".
Introduced by the HRVision distributor for Holland, Alphium NL, this project is a continuation of a widespread joint initiative between the Dutch Unemployment Office and Hudson Netherlands. This venture aims to reduce the incidence of recurrent unemployment by placing individuals according to their level of job suitability rather than random availability. And, having previously faced the challenge of selecting similar candidates from the unemployed sector of the UK population and encountering a high drop-out level, the cooking school was eager for an assessment tool with a higher level of predictive validity.
Hudson Netherlands, suggested utilizing the SavvyRecruiter assessment solution that includes a sophisticated multimedia testing platform and an accompanying ranking mechanism. This enables individuals to be tested against the Jamie Oliver requirements profile or against multiple job profiles tool and automatically ranked in order of suitability. The ensuing high level match to a job position results in the worker's strong identification with the position and increases the chance of success and permanence on the job.
Accessible from some 50 Hudson locations around the country via a central database over 100 candidates have been tested for this project, culminating in some 19 students accepted into the cooking school., "The Jamie Oliver project has proceeded with great success". Says Alphium's Lodewijk Salomons. "The challenge of choosing the right people for this venture was facilitated by first level filtering via the highly accurate Savvy testing/ranking module, followed by a practical skills and taste testing. The fact that three quarters of a year has passed with the selected candidates (previously unemployed youngsters) nearly all remaining in the cooking school has proved that HRVision system was able to pinpoint those individuals with staying power and potential skill for the vocation".
Owing to the cooking program's success it will continue running for a second year starting in the autumn. The subsequent kick off of a new selection process for next year's show has already begun last month with large numbers of applicants taking the Savvy test.

HRVision has recently unveiled the incorporation of an automatic job profiling device, to enhance its SavvyRecruiter product suite.
