Elan Computing employs DAXTRA resume processing technology

Edinburgh, January 2003

Elan Computing, one of Europe's leading IT&T recruitment consultancies, with a global network of offices and an annual turnover in excess of £250 million (€408 million), has chosen Daxtra to provide the business with a more efficient and accurate method of automatically loading applicant resume data once a resume is emailed to the company.

By integrating Daxtra's Candidate Capture into their core recruitment product, Elan have achieved impressive reductions in associated resume registration work effort.

"We have reduced our resume registration costs by 50% whilst handling a greater throughput of resumes and with a higher quality of output data," says Derek Macrae, Programme Manager at Elan.

Daxtra's CandidateCatpure is an appliance that captures all incoming emails containing resumes, regardless of their file format, or document layout, and automatically extracts key applicant data which is then inserted into a recruitment database. The diversity of resumes creates several problems for organisations including costly manual data entry, long turnaround time for data capture, poor online application experiences for candidates, and lack of access to pertinent data. These prohibitions result in high costs associated with resume processing. Daxtra's CandidateCapture automates and simplifies the process of data extraction from resumes by utilising state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence technology with statistical analysis techniques from within a single system environment.

"We have found Infogistics an excellent supplier who have responded quickly to our enhancement requests and have acted as a partner throughout the project," continues Derek, "I am extremely happy with their product, their support and their positive attitude to our business relationship".
