Press Release Summary: New version - a result of OrangeHRM and its user community
collaboration - brings in the introduction of the powerful, comprehensive and user
friendly recruitment engine that can be easily plugged into your company website.

Press Release Body: SEACAUCUS, NJ (June 24, 2008) - OrangeHRM, a leading provider
of open-source HR Management solution for small and medium sized enterprises
worldwide, has announced the launch of version 2.4-beta.4 of their human resource
information system (HRIS). Introduction of the Recruitment Module which comprises of
the comprehensive job application, publishing and recruitment process, according to
the feedback, received from user community side, were the main focus of the release.

"Through the constant communication with our users, we are shaping the growth of
OrangeHRM in a best way that satisfies their requirements", said Sujee Saparamadu,
CEO of OrangeHRM Inc. "Great attention has been given to prioritizing, selection and
implementation of the new features, as we are trying to keep the balance between
satisfaction of individual needs and application of broad perspective, to ensure
that the product is scalable enough, as it is being used by organizations from
multiple market verticals on all 6 continents"

Features in the new application include

. Listing out the Job Vacancies

This is where the HR administrator creates the job vacancies available in the
organization. He has the option to include all the necessary information, including
the job title, the job description and pay grade and employment status.

. Adding Pay Grade

When listing the available vacancies the HR administrator has the option to add
additional pay grades to the system to be compatible with the job listing

. Adding Employment Status

Generally the system itself has defined certain employment status at its inception.
But if the company needs the HR administrator has the right to add company
specified Employment Status to the system when listing out the job vacancies

. Selecting Hiring Managers for the job vacancies

It's compulsory for the HR administrator to select the hiring managers for each job
vacancy listed out. This will let the hiring manager receive a notification when
someone applies for the particular job that he/she has been appointed as the hiring
manager.

. Candidates Start Applying for the Job Vacancies

The wonder of the OrangeHRM recruitment module is that the candidates can never
trace out that they are using the OrangeHRM system, but rather they feel that it's
the particular company recruitment system that they are directed to. The only thing
involved in the application process is to select the job and fill up a form
containing all the necessary details that are required. The process is very simple
and user friendly.
. Selecting the Right Candidate

The HR administrator can get the full list of applicants for each job and he can
schedule interviews for the right people with the respective hiring managers and
other executive members. Every action will be notified to the respective candidate
via email.
