BC Hydro Selects Workstream Recruitment; Workstream's Established Presence in Canadian Market and Ability to Deliver a Rapid Implementation, Functionality and Value Key to Securing Contract
Workstream Inc., a provider of On-Demand Enterprise Workforce Management software, announced that British Columbia Hydro & Power Authority (BC Hydro), one of the largest electric utilities in Canada, serving more than 1.6 million customers in British Columbia, has selected Workstream Recruitment to automate and streamline their recruitment processes.
The deal, which will be managed through the company's outsourced recruitment team, Accenture Business Services for Utilities, was won on Workstream's established presence in the Canadian market, its product functionality and value, and ability to meet the requirements of the Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy Act for British Columbia.
"Workstream's strong presence in Canada and the fact that they have been providing recruitment solutions to Canadian companies for the past nine years was an important factor in our decision-making process," stated Ken Webb, Manager of People Development at BC Hydro. "It was important for BC Hydro to work with a provider who could understand and conform to the unique business requirements dictated by British Columbian government legislation."
