Building a Magnetic Field Attracting Global Resources, Jing’an Leads the Race for Accelerated Open Economy

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, Jing’an District has initiated the “Aiding Foreign Investment, Forging Partnership” plan and signed cooperation contracts with Shanghai-based chambers of commerce from the US, the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia, etc. The plan is expected to bring more production factors to Jing’an, including people, capital, information, according to Commerce Commission of Jing’an District. Jing’an converses with the world and polishes its brand of investment as those factors gather and interlink in Jing’an.

Since the beginning of this year, Jing’an has strengthened the high-quality development of economy and made an effort to bring in foreign enterprises with a focus on agglomeration and influence. Lately, four cutting-edge designer brands — Maison Margiela, MARNI, JIL SANDER and AMIRI, belonging to the Italian luxury conglomerate OTB, have set up office in Jincang Wenhua Plaza. The acceleration of foreign investment shows the resilience, vitality and potential of the open economy of Jing’an.

Jing’an continues to improve its business environment and pushes forward the comprehensive renewal of the city. Lately, a group of newly-built commercial buildings have made their first public appearance together.

The project is considered a fine complement to West Nanjing Road, which is also known as “the No.1 commercial street in China“. The project will further broaden the horizon of the “Jing’an new-buildings economy development” plan. Foreign enterprises will benefit from the plan in terms of function and energy level. The plan will also fill with power the fast-concentrated development of the “six industries of Jing’an”, which are commercial services, financial services, professional services, data intelligence, cultural innovation, life and health, so that enterprises will achieve significant development.

LiveHire and CrintellTech Announce Strategic Integration to Automate Candidate Sourcing and Streamline the Recruiting Life-Cycle

Leave a comment

MIAMI and CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 23, 2022 /PR Newswire/ — LiveHire Ltd. (ASX: LVH), a global software-as-a-service (SaaS) Total Talent Acquisition platform that helps companies connect with and hire the talent they need, and CrintellTech, an AI-driven recruitment intelligence platform that automates candidate sourcing, announce their strategic integration to transform the recruiting life-cycle.

Today’s market for talent is tight and sourcing talent can be one of the most time consuming parts of a recruiter’s job, accentuating the need to reach out to passive candidates in addition to active candidates in order to meet hiring needs.

Companies using LiveHire to source and hire candidates can now automate their process for sourcing and engaging with passive candidates from job board databases and professional networks by leveraging the strategic integration to CrintellTech. The CrintellTech Chrome App/Extension provides two products for the sourcing of external candidates passing them directly into LiveHire; “Eva” and “Assist”.

With “Eva”, LiveHire recruiters can pass the details of a job or sourcing requirement directly to Eva, allowing Eva’s AI to source their desired number of candidates from integrated job board profile databases and then send emails and text messages to candidates to confirm their interest in applying. Eva’s AI automatically exports candidates to LiveHire and updates their status based on their responses.

With “Assist”, recruiters can export suitable candidates they find while on job board profile databases or professional networks straight into LiveHire, assigning them to jobs and including notes about why they think the candidate is a good fit. Furthermore, Crintell Assist can save recruiters time and money by identifying candidates that have already exported to LiveHire, thereby reducing the cost of external sourcing.

Once imported into LiveHire from CrintellTech through Eva or Assist, hiring teams on LiveHire can engage with candidates by leveraging workflow automations and native two-way email and text messaging all the way through to hiring, helping hiring teams deliver award-winning candidate experiences and outstanding recruitment outcomes.

“We are excited about the LiveHire integration with Crintell Technologies and our ability to accelerate the flow of qualified candidates and recruiter productivity,” says Christy Forest, LiveHire CEO. “LiveHire’s Total Talent Acquisition Platform (ATS + CRM) paired together with CrintellTech will streamline and modernize the hiring process and ultimately deliver a better candidate experience.”

“We are excited to be a part of this strategic partnership with LiveHire. I believe our technologies complement each other and aim to bring in quality candidates and greatly improve recruiter productivity.” says Arbind Joseph M, Founder and CEO of Crintell Technologies.

About LiveHire

LiveHire is a globally-leading recruitment and contingent direct sourcing platform – enabling clients to attract and engage both permanent employees and contingent workers to deliver Total Talent and Direct Sourcing solutions. LiveHire offers an award-winning candidate experience and provides talent-on-demand through its unique talent pooling and 2-way text messaging functionality, having successfully enabled end-to-end recruitment from sourcing through to hire of diverse workforces for over 200 clients across 20 verticals globally.

CIMC teams up with JD to enhance supplies purchasing, logistics services

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Chinese leading container manufacturer China International Marine Containers (Group) Ltd (CIMC) signed a strategic cooperation agreement with e-commerce giant JD in Beijing on August 8 to step up cooperation in various fields, including supplies purchasing, logistics technology and services, etc.


The two companies will leverage their respective strengths to promote cooperation in the purchasing of industrial products, office supplies, commercial vehicles, logistics vehicles, cold chain equipment and so forth.

With long-standing advantages in the manufacturing of logistics equipment, CIMC will provide strategic support for JD and its subsidiaries in terms of pricing, product customization and services.

JD, meanwhile, will take advantage of its edges in retail, logistics and digitalization to help CIMC and its subsidiaries reduce purchasing costs, enhance purchasing management efficiency and accelerate the process of going digital by offering customized and intelligent solutions.

The two companies also said there is large room for cooperation in the area of logistics technology and services, given that they have differentiated advantages.

While CIMC-TianDa is a leading industry player that excels in providing automated logistics solutions, CIMC Wetrans Logistics Technology(Group)Co.,Ltd can offer end-to-end logistics solutions to clients. JD Logistics, meanwhile, owns integrated supply chain capacity and can provide intelligent supply chain solutions.


Based on those complementary advantages, the two can work together to further enhance their logistics technology and services, they said.

In addition, CIMC and JD will also carry out cooperation in other fields, such as digitalization, enterprise operation services, application of clean energy equipment, cold chain industry solutions, etc.

CIMC said the cooperation in cold chain will also play a role in promoting the country’s rural revitalization drive as an industrial cluster covering planting, processing, cold chain, logistics, e-commerce and marketing will be created with the help of the internet, which will benefit various parties.

It is not the first time that the two companies join hands. CIMC has been one of JD’s core partners and suppliers of automated logistics equipment, small-size cold chain logistics equipment, vehicles and other products. The two have also made a lot of cooperation in international logistics services and industrial products purchasing.
