PRESS RELEASE
Electronic Search, Inc. enters outsourcing agreement with local retirement community
In a business move that can only be called dazzling, Steve Eddington, President of Electronic Search, a Rolling Meadows based Staffing company, has announced that they have entered into an outsourcing agreement with Prairie Outsourcing to handle all resume reading.
"It's really a time saver," said Eddington of the service agreement with Prairie.
"We usually spend the biggest part of the day reading and interpreting resumes, but now that this is outsourced to a group of people with nothing but outsourcing on their minds, we are free to perform other core functions, like outsourcing the phone work and flagging unwanted emails having to do with resumes."
"One of the real barriers to getting things done is reading resumes," said Carl Shoe, a senior recruiter at ESI and also a Republican.
"It is one of the things I like the least and it can become quite a distraction when things get busy. Now with Prairie handling the resume reading, I no longer have the time crunch and the piles and piles of resumes to wade through. We just forward them over to Prairie and forget about it until they give us our quarterly report."
"This is going to be a really good deal for us," said Elmer Fueffel, one of the Prairie Outsource employees.
"In our first meeting with ESI, it was very clear that they could streamline their operations with our help. We quickly zoomed in on the major area that screamed outsourcing! and it was the area of resume reading. We typically look for areas where a potential customer is weak, and we hit paydirt with ESI. They will now be free to really buckle down on the things they do best, whatever that may be."
"I feel fortunate that the Prairie contract got inked before the end of the Chinese Newyear," said Eddington. "We had over 100,000 resumes in the files that we couldn't get around to reading and we were getting tired of telling folks that we hadn't read the resume yet. Now with Prairie on board, we can say with confidence that the resume HAS BEEN READ. This is a big credibility booster and really takes the load off. Now we are free to do the real core tasks that recruiters should be doing. The outsourcing trend has really taken hold in businesses and I look forward to outsourcing lots of other areas. Pretty soon, we could live in a world where even the most common tasks are outsourced. The result of this could be tremendously freeing, and quite dramatic for businesses everywhere."
"When it's not your core competency, you just should not be doing it," added Al Bunn, the General Manager at ESI. It all boils down to people doing what they do best and not doing the things that others can do better or more efficiently than them. With the recruiters freed up from the resume grind, I see a whole slew of other tasks getting taken care of, and maybe some day soon, those things could get outsourced as well! Who knows where this could take us!"
Bill Bowser, another senior recruiter at ESI commented, "I can forsee a future in this business where literally everything is outsourced. When that happens, I think I will just have the greatest job in the world!"
When the rest of the world realizes that literally every task imaginable is probably best done by someone else, there will truly be a new world in the making.
