Ciphr Knows HR SaaS (and how to make great videos)

Ciphr recently caught my attention with a compelling video infographic about job screening and social networks (check it out below - the stats are amazing).  It made me realize that, although 99% of the people I talk to say they don't screen candidates via social networks, these numbers tell a different story.  Reminds me the Al Franken book I never read:   "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them."  

The video interested me enough that I did a little digging and actually talked with somebody about the company - and I was impressed.  They've been delivering HR Saas for about 10 years and have about 1 million users worldwide.  They've snagged some nice awards -  they have a sweet mobileHR app - and a nice list of big-time clients.  

So check out this guy - a hipster with a cool accent, and you can get a 30k-ft view of what they're all about.  But then go back and watch the video - I guarantee you'll be surprised.   

Keep an eye on this company - some people are calling them one of the most trusted hr software brands in the UK.  And that makes sense - even for a good ol' boy like me sitting in North America .  Because with SaaS, it doesn't really matter where you have your blast of morning coffee (or tea), eh? 

Cheers (and enjoy the video),

Dennis
