HRsmart South Africa Exceeds Debut Year Growth Expectations
Richardson, Texas, February 11, 2008 - HRsmart, a leading provider of integrated talent
management technology solutions, announces impressive growth at its South
African subsidiary, HRsmart Africa. Executives in Africa attribute the
growth to HRsmart’s ability to tailor the solution to market needs, the
application’s reliability, local premium support and their integrated
approach to Talent Management, a growing need within the South African
market.
HRsmart launched operations in Africa in 2007 and has seen steady
growth since its inception. The team has worked diligently towards a
reputation in Africa as a premium supplier of talent management solutions and
acts as a service hub for the entire region. Notable clients who have
signed on this year include PPC Cement, Kimberley Clark, Quest Flexible
Staffing, Penny Pinchers, Robben Island Museum and The Dialogue Group.
"Our success in the South African market is largely due to our ability
to adapt the HRsmart solutions to suit the unique talent management
needs of companies in the region," said Kevin Alborough, CEO for HRsmart
Africa. "Many North American providers come to Africa with
‘out-of-the-box’ solutions which are not adapted to South African HR policies and
procedures. HRsmart was able to understand the difference and adapt the
tool for this market so as to provide both legal business processes for
the line to utilize in their operation and to provide HR departments
with information for their statutory reports."
"The South African team’s success in taking HRsmart’s solutions and
configuring them to meet demand in Africa has resulted in outstanding
success in the region," Pablo Fonolla, President of International
Operations. "We are proud of their efforts and the encouraged by the
accomplishments they are having there."
The result of HRsmart’s global investment is significant growth in
other areas of the world, including Canada, the Middle East, Latin America,
Australia and the United Kingdom. The company is quickly forming its
position as a worldwide leader in Talent Management Solutions, with
applications that can span across borders and cultures to become adopted by
users around the world.
