Ever been on a blind date?

As painful as those can be -- and they can be excruciating! -- searching for the perfect candidate to fill an open job can be a thousand times worse.

First, there’s the needle-in-a-haystack frustration of it. You know that the right candidate is out there. But how do you find her? What if she isn’t even looking in the place where your opening is listed?

Maybe this person would be the absolute perfect match for your job. She’s the one who would feel extreme happiness and fulfillment in the role … and who would vault your company’s productivity into the stratosphere. The only appropriate term for her, in fact, would be “unicorn.”

But what if this unicorn isn’t even currently searching for a new job?

Workland is a new generation talent agency that aims to eliminate the frustration and inefficiency of the old HR model. The Montreal-based company doesn’t think it’s right to boil people down to CVs, or to distill amazing jobs down to paragraph-long blurbs.

Instead, they’ve pioneered a revolutionary combination of traditional recruiting best practices and futuristic, AI-powered job matching technology. ATLAS by Workland, their premiere candidate-matching tool, automates and prequalifies potential work relationships. This gives both job seekers and recruiters the bandwidth they need to devote to processes where chances of success are high.

Put simply: Workland outsources the boring, tedious and low-payoff HR work to robots. It lets HR professionals and companies shine by promoting mutually advantageous matches.

Workland is the perfect big data-powered HR solution for any company looking to streamline its processes.

In other words: It’s the perfect HR solution for any company.

In particular, Workland is helpful for major companies currently facing recruitment challenges. It’s also great for companies that already provide recruitment services. And it’s particularly appropriate for distributors of licenses.

To match unicorn candidates to the jobs that will suit them best, Workland uses a unique 6-part search process. It all starts with a shared pool of candidates, which the company regularly vets and maintains for its valued clients. Then, Workland provides support and guidance to your social media department. The aim here is to get a head start on recruitment using smart targeted and automatic campaigns.

Here’s where the search begins in earnest. Thanks to Workland’s rock-solid network of free and premium career search aggregators, you can be sure no rockstar candidates are falling through the cracks.

In the latter half of the search process, Workland provides a complete, cloud-based recruitment solution equipped with an integrated ATS. Once you have your list of promising CVs, Workland will handle the processing and analysis of your brightest prospects via their powerful and fully customizable pre-screening technology.

Finally, you’ll have access to Workland’s proprietary recruitment CRM, which allows you to seamlessly track and onboard passive candidates and convert them into applicants.

The goal of Workland-powered recruitment is no different from the age-old mission of HR departments everywhere. Everyone just wants the best possible candidate in the most suitable job, with minimal expenditure of cash, time and annoyance. And it’d be great if the process were painless and easy to duplicate.

The difference now? It’s the first time where that goal is finally attainable.

Workland is an exciting company that’s shaking up the corporate talent industry. Great news: If you’re headed to SXSW (March 9-13) this year, you’ll have a rare opportunity to meet with them. Want to discuss how you can transform your HR processes? Workland will be at Booth #1009.
