Foxwoods
Hires HRLogix
HRLogix, a leading provider
of Web- based, paperless hiring systems, announced
that they will provide recruiting solutions
to Foxwoods Resort Casino. Owned by the Mashantucket
Pequot Tribal Nation, Foxwoods is the world's
largest casino resort with nearly five million
square-feet of entertainment, gaming, dining,
shopping and resort experiences.
"As
we planned our two million square-foot expansion
(scheduled for completion in summer 2008), we
determined that we would need to hire approximately
2,000 employees to staff the additional restaurant,
gaming and hotel facilities," said Jason
Guyot, Director of Employment. "By using
HRLogix's unique Web-based recruiting and on-boarding
solutions, we can access our applicant pools
and the system much quicker which allows us
to identify the best candidates and put them
to work faster."
With
more than 120 gaming clients, HRLogix's solutions
are designed to comply with gaming industry
regulations and handle the consistent need for
hourly workers. HRLogix's applicant tracking
system, JobLogix, will transform Foxwoods' existing
Web site into a powerful, paperless recruiting
tool.
"We
are thrilled about this partnership with Foxwoods.
This premier destination has many unique and
demanding needs. We're able to customize their
entire system to meet those needs and still
provide the most user-friendly, streamlined
recruiting and on-boarding system available,"
said Maryann Gagnon, HRLogix founder and president.
By
automating more than 80 percent of the recruiting
and hiring paperwork, HRLogix's system decreases
the cost of acquiring hourly and exempt employees
while increasing the speed-to-hire timeframe.
The technology will play an integral role in
Foxwoods' human resources department by allowing
them to recruit, screen and accept applications
24/7 while automating many mundane tasks: tracking
down job requisitions, filing and processing
new-hire paperwork. It also automates the drug
testing and background check processes -- everything
is performed at the click of button via the
Internet.
