American Valet selects Kronos® to optimize hiring
CHICAGO--With a mission to provide the most courteous, professional parking and transportation services to facilities nationwide, American Valet has tapped Kronos® Incorporated to help source, screen, and select best-fit job candidates. American Valet plans to implement Kronos’ Workforce Acquisition™ solution at all locations.
“We’re impressed with how well the Kronos selection and hiring solution is tailored for the requirements and needs of the valet parking industry,” said Mike Pendergraft, chief executive officer of American Valet and president of the National Valet Parking Association. “The system is easily accessible and simple to use. We’re confident it will create efficiencies and help reduce turnover.”
Workforce Acquisition will allow American Valet to simultaneously maximize exceptional guest satisfaction while managing operational costs. The Kronos-powered job application can be accessed through American Valet’s corporate website. Included with the application, American Valet will administer Kronos’ behavioral assessments that focus on key personality traits and skills associated with job success. The tool presents only the most qualified candidates to hiring managers.
“More and more companies are looking at ways to eliminate costs from the hiring process without compromising the customer experience and employee quality,” said Chris Marsh, president of the Kronos Talent Management Division. “By finding and hiring employees who are naturally customer-oriented and willing to go the extra mile, companies like American Valet can increase customer loyalty and simultaneously decrease the bottom line. It’s a true win-win relationship.”
Workforce Acquisition is a selection and hiring solution that enables clients to measurably improve the quality and productivity of their workforce. It combines an on-demand hiring automation platform with proven employee selection tools to create an efficient and repeatable solution for high-quality hiring.
The Kronos Talent Management Division, based in Beaverton, Ore., was formed upon completion of Kronos’ August 2006 acquisition of Unicru, Inc.
Kronos made this announcement from the HR Technology Conference & Exposition, taking place Oct. 4-6 in Chicago.
