Three highly respected names in Human Resources have joined forces to provide companies with a revolutionary blend of services that make the hiring process more efficient and effective. The partnership joins three companies: NAS Recruitment Communications, a recognized leader in the specialized field of human resource communications, Hannibal, Inc., a software development firm specializing in recruiting automation solutions, and InfoLink Screening Services, Inc., a nationwide leader in employment background screening, drug testing and physical exam services.

The three companies' services, each of which may be utilized separately, are now available through NAS's new web-based recruiting tool called "Max." Max makes it easier for HR departments to source, match, screen and hire quality employees. One of the primary benefits of Max is the ease with which recruitment ads can be placed and tracked.

"Companies of every size can count on Max for the simplest and most efficient recruiting assistance in the industry," stated Don Sabatino, Vice President of NAS Recruitment Communications. "Max is not a typical applicant tracking system (ATS). Unlike the traditional ATS approach, which can take months to fully set-up and integrate, Max will be up and running in a matter of days."

Max installs easily, is updated automatically and provides a full range of sourcing, screening, and organizational functions that are ideally suited to the needs of today's modern Human Resources executives. Max is also available in a tiered format to fit the exact requirements and budgetary commitments of every HR department. Key components include the following:

• An innovative interface for selecting and posting recruitment ads to print publications, job boards, career sites and internal referral sites
  

• A customized library of job descriptions
  

• Powerful filtering and ranking technology
  

• Resume pool management, candidate tracking and reporting
  

• Seamless Integration with InfoLink Screening Services for background checks
  

A strategic partner in the release of Max is InfoLink Screening Services, a leading provider of background screening, drug testing and physical exams of job applicants and employees. InfoLink has a strong reputation for providing exceptional service and fast turnaround of information, as well as ensuring its clients screening practices are legally compliant.
