Mincom will enter a partnership with Melbourne-based NGA.NET, providers of e-recruitment software solutions, and will offer the NGA.NET-hosted solution to customers as Mincom e-Recruitment.

Integrating NGA.NET’s e-Recruitment ASP based software and Mincom’s Ellipse enterprise asset management solution, the new system will provide solutions for online recruitment and employee management, including tools for applicant tracking, candidate care, talent management, advanced reporting and recruitment analysis.

As most mines would rather be focusing their energy on matters other than labour management, the NGA.NET–Mincom partnership is designed to help streamline the recruitment process and provide Mincom customers with a one-stop shop for the recruitment management process.

NGA.NET, whose client list includes Rio Tinto, Newmont Mining and Xstrata, said the partnership would help customers achieve a better return on investment from their recruitment initiatives.

Other aims of the e-Recruitment solution include increasing the effectiveness of recruitment stakeholder communications, providing a higher level of applicant care and communication, and significantly reducing external advertising and recruitment costs via a secure web-based solution.
