LAS VEGAS (November 10, 2009) – Kronos® Incorporated today announced availability of Kronos Essentials – Hiring(TM), a new selection and hiring solution designed specifically for the needs of small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). The solution helps organizations to continuously improve the quality of their workforce, reduce compliance risk, and improve productivity.
News Facts

* Kronos Essentials – Hiring provides the functionality of Kronos’ industry-leading selection and hiring solution in a preconfigured, easy to use, low-cost offering designed to accelerate ROI and deliver low total cost of ownership.
* The solution takes advantage of Kronos’ hiring differentiator: selection science. Now SMBs can make better hiring decisions, improving the overall quality of their workforce on a continuous basis by hiring people who stay longer and perform better.
* Kronos Essentials – Hiring allows organizations to ensure process compliance by integrating background and Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) checks and by providing standard Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEO) and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) reports. It’s also easier than ever to ensure new hires have legal work status by conducting employment verifications via e-verify integration.
* Recognizing that SMBs often have limited IT budgets and resources, this new offering requires minimal IT support, providing organizations with employer-branded career sites in both English and Spanish, and a standardized job application template out of the box. Organizations using the new solution are able to electronically on-board new hires, reducing paperwork and improving productivity of both the new hire and his or her manager.
* Thousands of organizations with fewer than 2,500 employees rely on Kronos to effectively manage their workforce through the use of time and attendance, absence management, scheduling, human resources, and payroll solutions.
