Migration from VCG's TempWare-V to VCG's StaffSuite improves candidate search speed 100x in competitive market for Nevada-based Geotemps

Situation: For almost 20 years, Geotemps, a Reno, NV-based earth sciences staffing firm, has focused on a range of career levels in earth sciences, mining and minerals. Whether it's a geologist or an executive looking for placement, Geotemps handles it - and everything in between. With continued growth in mind -- and two new offices already planned for this year, Geotemps knew that improving their staffing technology would be critical to the success of their plans.

Solution: In 2005, Geotemps decided to migrate from VCG's TempWare-V® to StaffSuite® to apply the latest in staffing software technology to their business processes.

Lance Taylor, President and CEO of Geotemps, states, "While there were other solutions out there, we felt that StaffSuite's robust database offered the most complete solution."

To optimize their business growth goals, Taylor wanted to streamline their current business processes. While TempWare-V was 'getting the job done,' their growth plans created the perfect time to implement StaffSuite's front and back office functionality.

Results: Kathy Sestanovich, Network Administrator for Geotemps, says, "We've found that our staff can run candidate searches a hundred times faster with our new StaffSuite software. With this capability, we can respond immediately to our clients -- and faster response means winning the business."

Taylor also attributes the speed of the database, a user-friendly interface and the in-depth searching capabilities of StaffSuite to improving the front office operational productivity of their staff. Staff, says Sestanovich, who are now much easier to train.

Sestanovich states, "We no longer have training issues with our staff. StaffSuite lends itself to quicker and easier adoption by our team." This is typical for customers moving to StaffSuite from other staffing software. In fact, customers have reported that its ease-of-use and familiar interface reduces training by nearly two-thirds.

Sestanovich adds, "VCG's software support team is excellent. They communicate with us at all times. When a case is closed, I immediately get a follow-up e-mail to make sure the issue has been resolved."

Geotemps knew that they would have to migrate their information and VCG provided a smooth transition because of VCG's data migration team. Additionally, both Taylor and Sestanovich were impressed with the implementation consultants that guided them through the process.

Because Geotemps focuses on a range of career levels, they needed a database that could quickly code a potential employee's skills. Their VCG consultant suggested some ideas to deal with this issue and Geotemps implemented them. This customization enables staff to quickly enter a person's skills without any hassle.

A client since 1997, Geotemps is clearly on its way to achieving their growth goals.
