New release of Pointwing recruiting software delivers tighter two-way integration to Microsoft Outlook, enabling recruiters, staffing coordinators and sales staff to initiate and manage communications and task activities with customers, candidates and employees with less effort.

Atlanta, GA, September 2, 2009. The imperative for staffing and recruiting business owners in today's recessionary economy is to reduce effort and costs while increasing the quality of their services to customers, candidates and employees. It may seem to be a near-impossible task, but the latest 2.0 release of Pointwing Front Office recruiting software helps to do just that with its tighter integration to Microsoft Outlook.

Some of the new benefits to recruiters, staffing coordinators and sales staff of the tighter two-way integration between Pointwing recruiting software and MS Outlook are:

• Users can initiate new email from either Pointwing or Outlook and have that activity tracked within Pointwing. Inbound emails are instantly identified and recorded in the correct Pointwing Contact or Candidate record enabling the end user to efficiently manage and prioritize their daily communications, while insuring that their daily activity metrics are tracked.
• Email marketing campaigns can be sent using the comprehensive capabilities available within Outlook, while recording the activities within Pointwing for tracking and reporting.
• Pointwing users can find Pointwing Contacts and Candidates directly from within Outlook to compose their email, appointment or task. For more information about a Contact or Candidate, they can jump to the associated Pointwing record from Outlook or create a new Pointwing record from Outlook if the record does not already exist.
• Outlook integration leverages the Pointwing resume parsing tool to enable the user to easily parse a resume attachment or parse directly from the body of the email.
• Pointwing also gives recruiters a quick way to move through records and complete Tasks for a record. This can be done from a single record or from a grid and can be performed without leaving the record. They can then go to the next record and continue.
