Entelo Named As Finalist In 2014 American Business Awards(SM)

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Entelo was named a Finalist today in the Company of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year, Product Development/Management of the Year, and New Product of the Year categories in The 2014 American Business Awards, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie® Award winner in the program.

The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. 

More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.

Entelo is a finalist for the following four ABA categories this year:

• Company of the Year in Computer Software - Up to 250 employees
  The Entelo platform leverages big data, predictive analytics and social signals to help recruiting organizations find, qualify and engage with in­-demand talent and spot potential candidates who may be ready to make a move, even before they begin actively searching.
      
• Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year - Up to 100 employees
  In the Fall of 2013, Entelo launched Hiring for Good, a new social impact program designed to improve communities and foster the next generation of tech talent. To kick off the initiative, Entelo partnered with CodeEd, a nonprofit that teaches computer science, programing and coding to underprivileged middle-school girls. For every new hire Entelo customers make using the company's next-generation recruiting tools, Entelo donates a year's worth of instruction for one young woman in the CodeEd program.
      
• Product Development/Management Executive of the Year
  VP of Product and co-founder John McGrath leads engineering and product development at Entelo. An experienced developer specializing in SaaS and data engineering, he is a three-time entrepreneur.
      
• New Product or Service of the Year - B2B Services
  Entelo Sonar identifies potential candidates by analyzing over 70 variables to indicate when a prime candidate is ready to change jobs, even before they begin actively looking for a new opportunity.

"We're proud to have Entelo selected as a finalist for the Stevies," said Jon Bischke, CEO and Founder of Entelo. "It not only recognizes the achievements of our team over the last few years, but also those of our many customers who are using Entelo to gain a competitive advantage in building great teams."

More than 150 business professionals nationwide chose finalists during preliminary judging in April and May.  More than 150 members of several specialized judging committees will determine Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging, to take place May 13-22.  

"The final judges have a difficult task ahead of them, to rank the Finalists, because there are so many great nominations this year," said Stevie Awards president and founder Michael Gallagher.
