deverus™ Launches Hubworks Integration Product for Background Screening Industry, Connecting ESS, Inc., with Taleo Business Edition

AUSTIN, TX, 26 JANUARY 2011 - deverus, Inc., a leading provider of connectivity services and software for background screening companies, has successfully integrated Employment Screening Services (ESS) with Taleo Business Edition via its new integration product offering, Hubworks.

The Taleo Business Edition - ESS integration will allow HR departments to conduct and manage employment background checks, provided by ESS, directly from their Candidate Page in Taleo, without ever leaving the system or having to re-enter candidate data. This reduces the inefficiencies of going back and forth between two systems, thus:

• Eliminating the need to enter applicant data more than once
• Improving data accuracy
• Improving turnaround time
• Reducing the time it takes to hire an applicant

"Regardless of size, we've been watching HR departments use more and more applicant tracking systems such as Taleo Business Edition in the talent recruitment process. To keep existing customers and to remain competitive, it's absolutely necessary for background check companies to deliver services through applicant tracking systems," says Shawn Rucks, CEO of deverus. "That's why we've invested heavily in developing an integration solution that will enable both our clients, as well as non-deverus background screening companies, to integrate with virtually any applicant tracking system." Now background screening companies, who in the past were unable to build and maintain integrations with applicant tracking systems, can do so with little effort.

"HR professionals are looking for efficiencies in the way they manage and screen applicants, so being able to offer them fully integrated background capabilities inside of their Taleo Business Edition system is significant," says Jason Kimbrell of ESS. "Having this integration helps us to better serve our existing clients and will also open many doors to capture additional business. The integrations deverus' Hubworks product can provide will help take ESS to another level."
