December 11, 2001 - Foster City, CA and Burlingame, CA (Business Wire). Mirantis, LLC, which provides state-of-the-art offshore Technology Development Centers, has selected TheSkillsMatch from Workforce OS to manage its highly skilled labor pool. TheSkillsMatch (TSM) is a suite of essential human capital management tools that track and match employee skills to employer requirements. Through its proprietary technology, TSM allows Mirantis to quickly search thousands of profiles and identify employees with the specific skills to match their clients' requirements.

"Mirantis attracts and hires highly skilled research, design and engineering teams for each client based upon the exact skills profile and experience required," says Frank Patchel, President of Mirantis. "TheSkillsMatch allows us to automate the process; using this tool, we can quickly find one specialized individual or assemble customized teams of highly skilled, hard-to-find employees out of thousands of perspective candidates to meet the needs of our clients."

Mirantis extends core development organizations through its Technology Development Centers, which support each client team with dozens of specialized services. As a result, the client is free to manage the people and control the projects. Mirantis serves the software, hardware and science industries where employee knowledge is vital and employee retention is strategically important.

"TheSkillsMatch has the flexibility that Mirantis needs: because it's so quickly customized, it can grow with them as their client base diversifies and their pool of skilled technologists increases. It's really a perfect fit," remarks Susan Magrino, President and CEO of Workforce OS. "TheSkillsMatch search engine has the power to pull from the pre-set or free-form fields in an individual's profile, as well as from their resume. Mirantis can find the people they need, when they need them, with a few clicks of the mouse."

Workforce OS developed TheSkillsMatch as a suite of essential Human Capital Management (HCM) tools that track the skills, experience, and goals over the life cycle of an employee from candidate, to employee, to reserve talent. Currently in the fourth functional version release, TheSkillsMatch benefits areas such as retention, succession planning, mentoring, and recruiting that are critical to workforce planning.
