LEBANON, N.H. – Dec. 16, 2021 – Appcast, a global leader in programmatic recruitment advertising technology and services, today announced that it won a Brandon Hall Group Gold Award for Excellence in the “Best Advance in Recruitment Marketing Technology” category. The award recognizes Appcast Xcelerate for its innovation in delivering intelligent recruitment advertising technology that helps organizations attract more qualified candidates and improve recruitment outcomes.
In today’s highly competitive labor market, Xcelerate has a proven track record of helping employers secure a steady stream of qualified candidates and overcome hiring challenges. Xcelerate integrates seamlessly with employers’ applicant tracking systems (ATS) and uses real-time market and job ad performance data, along with advanced algorithms to automatically select the best places to post jobs from a network of more than 10,000 job sites. Xcelerate helps organizations reduce cost-per-hire, increase candidate volume, and meet diversity hiring goals by reaching more candidates from underrepresented groups.
“I’m immensely proud that Brandon Hall Group has recognized the excellence of our technology and more importantly, the people behind our technology, in driving recruitment outcomes,” said Chris Forman, founder and CEO of Appcast. “Employers today are faced with an incredibly tough labor market, and we’re delighted that Xcelerate was recognized as an innovation that alleviates the challenges of attracting and hiring qualified talent.”
The largest and longest running awards program in Human Capital Management, the Brandon Hall Group assembled a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, and Brandon Hall Group senior analysts and executives to evaluate Xcelerate based on the following criteria: product, unique differentiators, value proposition and measurable results.
“HCM solution providers must be experts and visionaries in technology, but they also must have the ability to anticipate the diverse needs of employers as they work to adapt to ongoing change,” said Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke. “This requires a blend of curiosity, empathy and agility that is difficult to achieve. We have seen an extraordinary level of insight and creativity from our Excellence in Technology winners that has been exciting to see.”
