Winston-Salem, N.C. (February 09, 2009) – SilkRoad technology, inc., the leading provider of talent management solutions, announced the company was named winner of the January 23, 2009 HRchitect onboarding systems “Beauty Pageant.”  SilkRoad entered its market-leading onboarding and life events product, RedCarpet, into the pageant alongside three other companies, including AllegroHR, KMS, and Verifications. After showcasing the company’s service differentiators, value proposition and technology, SilkRoad’s RedCarpet was selected as the winner.    

HRchitect recently developed the series of “Beauty Pageant” webinars as a way to educate consumers on the human resource technology choices available. Each webinar focuses on a different category of human resource technology, including onboarding, succession planning, and compensation management.  During each “pageant” human resource technology providers give company overviews, cover functionality and usability, and answer questions from the audience.  After all presentations, the audience votes for its favorite contestant.  

“As a leading provider of talent management solutions, we are always eager to help companies recruit and retain the best talent,” said Brian Platz, COO of SilkRoad technology.  “We enjoyed participating in the webinar and are honored the audience selected our product as the best of show.”  

“As the leading Talent Acquisition Systems consulting firm, we wanted to find a fun and easy way to educate consumers on the HR technology options available,” said Rick Fletcher, President and Founder of HRchitect.  “This has been a great way to get the HR decision makers the information they need to make great choices for their organizations, and congratulations to SilkRoad for its well-deserved win.”
