CHEYENNE – July 31, 2008 – Impact Achievement Group is finding Wyoming keenly interested in developing its leaders to retain employees in its public and private sector workforce.

Following his well-received keynote address at the recent Wyoming Governor’s 2008 Summit on Workforce Solutions, leadership development and service quality expert Rick Tate, senior managing partner of Impact Achievement Group, had multiple requests for providing services to many of the conference participants. The Summit’s theme, “Defining Our Future” focused on topics central to Rick’s and the company’s expertise, including talent management and customer service.

“Wyoming understands that an engaged workforce is a loyal workforce, especially as they recognize the benefits of career development opportunities provided by their employers,” said Tate. “As a state with a smaller population, Wyoming is very forward-thinking in investing in leadership and performance management training to retain and grow their best employees.”

Tate’s keynote, “Creating an Engaged Workforce – People Leave Managers… Not Organizations!” discussed human performance as an increasingly recognized and critical “product” of any organization. He also explained that the fundamental principles of performance leadership that drive engagement, productivity, and retention also translate to employees providing exceptional customer experiences.
The interest in the topic sparked several requests for training from both public and private organizations. Mining services company L&H Industrials has enlisted Impact Achievement Group to work with their entire management team on the principles of effective leadership – on the personal invitation of company president Mike Wandler.

In addition, the City of Gillette will have Impact Achievement Group train their management team on effective leadership principles. The company will also present to the local chapter of the Society for Human Resources Management.
Tate is an internationally recognized expert on leadership and service quality. He has been speaking, training, writing and developing state of the art concepts that challenge people’s mindsets for over twenty years.

Dr. Julie White, senior managing partner and co-author with Tate of the book, “People Leave Managers, Not Organizations! ™” is a recognized international speaker, seminar leader and consultant on leadership development, human performance and workplace communications. She is also the author of five of the best-selling audio and video programs in the US, including the national best seller, Image and Self-Projection and The Psychology of Self Esteem.

Tate and Dr. White are joined by a growing network of senior training partners serving Impact Achievement Group customers nationwide.

Troy, Mich. – July 31, 2008 – JobApp Network, Inc. successfully completed a strategic investment with the nation’s largest independent tax credit processing company. Through this partnership, JobApp Network is now able to extend the value of its automated hiring solution with fully integrated tax credit screening and processing. These tax credits can be worth up to $9,000 for a single hire and JobApp clients incur cost only when such credits are delivered.

“Our proven ability to screen job applicants for tax credit eligibility via phone and web and automatically populate the necessary paperwork for new hires will dramatically improve our clients’ results with tax credits. Through our new tax credit processing center and compliance management solution we are now able to further improve client results and offer an end-to-end, single-vendor solution,” said Blake Helppie, the Chief Executive Officer of JobApp Network.

HAZLET, N.J. (July 29, 2008) – iCIMS, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider of
talent management platforms, announced today that President and CEO Colin Day, was named a winner of NJBIZ magazine’s Forty Under 40 award. Day was selected as a winner based upon his accomplishments as founder of iCIMS, a company offering human resource technology solutions to such clients as Whole Food Markets (NADDAQ: WFMI), Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL), and The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY).

The Forty Under 40 award serves to recognize forty of the state’s most dynamic business leaders under the age of 40. NJBIZ searches out leaders who are not only making headlines, but who are also clearly committed to professional and community growth.

According to NJBIZ, “We are looking for candidates who share a commitment to business growth, to professional excellence and to the community–people who are shaping the economic future of New Jersey.”

Colin Day founded iCIMS in Hazlet, NJ in 1999. Since its inception, iCIMS has aimed to provide corporations with a unique solution for managing their human resource initiatives. Seeing corporations struggle with overly complex, costly, and inflexible options, Day envisioned something different for clients: an easy-to-use Talent Platform that could allow companies to scale a single web-based application to accommodate their evolving business needs. Strong values for product ease-of-use and customer satisfaction have continued to set iCIMS apart in a highly competitive market.

iCIMS has since become a leading provider of talent management software, supporting over 600 companies worldwide. The company’s easy-to-use, flexible solutions are backed by superior customer service, making it a top choice for organizations looking to streamline and automate recruiting and human resource processes. Clients leverage iCIMS’ web-based software to manage a multitude of human resources and recruiting initiatives, including applicant tracking,
onboarding, workforce management, performance management, and more.

Beyond his commitment to product and service excellence, Day is dedicated to creating a better environment to live and work. A “green” organization, iCIMS’ commitment to the environment and the community is demonstrated through various programs at both local and national levels. iCIMS’ iCARE program provides employees with opportunities to participate in environmental clean-up campaigns throughout the state, and at a corporate level, iCIMS has made a multi-year commitment to purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from National Wind Farms that produce “clean” energy. iCIMS also encourages its customers to remain environmentally friendly by offering iCARE discounts to firms clearly committed to reducing reliance on non-renewable energy.

“I am extremely proud to be named a winner of the Forty Under 40 award,” said Colin Day. “I want to share this award with the employees at iCIMS. Their dedication, hard work, and commitment enabled a vision to become a true reality and has helped iCIMS become an international leader within the HR technology space.”

Winners of the Forty Under 40 award will be honored by NJBIZ on September 22, 2008 at The Palace at Somerset Park, Somerset.
