San Jose, California, US – February 28, 2012 — LONMARK® International, a non-profit association for the certification, education and promotion of interoperability standards for control networking, today announced a partnership with talent acquisition company BirdDog .  The company offers both recruitment software and
services .  These solutions provide a pro-active, diversified recruitment approach that makes it easy for companies to find the right candidates quickly and cost effectively, ultimately fueling economic recovery.

Economists and U.S. job statistics have reported trends showing market stabilization.  In the month of January alone, the unemployment rate hit the lowest level since March of 2008 and job gains have exceeded 200,000 for two straight months.  As the economy continues to grow, so does the need for companies to find talented and experienced candidates.  BirdDog’s talent acquisition offering allows companies to take control of their job hunts by leveraging four resources proven to provide good hires; the employer website career page, Internet job boards, word-of-mouth referrals and social media.

“At BirdDog, we believe that people drive business success and unfortunately, locating them is harder than ever,” said Bryan May, executive vice president of business development, BirdDog “We promote an ‘always-on recruitment’ mentality to employers that share our philosophy, and our partnership with LONMARK International and its members will make it even easier for them to find the best candidates for their companies.”

“As the economy continues to strengthen, companies will need to hire new employees to support growth,” said Barry Haaser, executive director, LONMARK International.  “With BirdDog, we now provide our members with tools that will let them quickly hire qualified employees, while having the option to track, store and communicate with applicants throughout the year.”
