Fran Quittel, Inc.


Robert C. Hoyler, President & CEO Magnify Corporation Former President and COO, MyPoints.com	“As the president, Fran was also very helpful in helping me create an overall H.R. strategy particularly as it related to prioritizing what to do first in order to maximize the positive impact of our actions and communications upon our employees. Fran is a very high-energy person able to execute on many projects simultaneously. The key is in her understanding of which tasks have priority and then utilizing her time to get those done, while also moving other projects along. Part of her capability is based on an excellent work ethic and part is because of her excellent technical skills. . . . Fran loves people and people like her. She is a very fast study. She quickly figures people out and interacts with them accordingly. She is an excellent judge of character. Fran is also exceptionally creative. I’ve benefited from that creativity in terms of reduced costs, organizational design (in terms of putting roles together) and motivational approaches. Lastly, Fran’s biggest attribute is her sincere desire to do excellent work so that the people she works with and for can succeed and enjoy what they are doing.”
Jeffry A. Higgins Vice President, IndyMac Bank Corporate Human Resources HR-Organizational Control	"Fran Quittel came to our company to help us select and implement an applicant tracking system, which turned out to be a huge win for our recruitment operation and a big help in terms of automation for HR overall. Fran has technical, marketing, recruitment, and implementation skills that cover all areas of recruitment applications and a sensitivity to using the applicant tracking system as a cross marketing tool. Working across many levels and divisions within our company, Fran was able to configure every screen in the system accurately, negotiate between a wide variety of our internal departments, garner the required assistance from our vendor, who was not easy to work with, write a detailed technical manual, and train a wide variety of users. This work which includes integrating new hire data with PeopleSoft and our HRMS, will provide us with accurate, in-depth, and on-the-fly reporting and enable us to automate a great number of our recruitment tasks and processes that have, to date, been manual. Given the few resources at her disposal, we particularly appreciate her ability to help us select a package and configure it to our many intricate specifications."
Laurie Simoneau Preskar President and CEO Invision Development, Inc. Formerly Vice President Training & Development IndyMac Bank	"Fran’s work at IndyMac Bank went far beyond systems implementation, which was in itself a huge win for the HR department of this fast-growth, online mortgage bank. Fran is also an outstanding trainer, with a great sense of humor and an ability to teach across all levels. She is detailed, creative and fun. Her training is simple and direct, relating the material to the participant's individual experience and the Company's business objectives. She is patient and shows terrific dependability and follow-through in all aspects of her work."
Bob Lee, VP HR NetManage	“Ms. Quittel set to work with a focus that showed rapid results. She immediately was able to slice more than 60% off our recruiting systems budget by replacing an expensive system we were using in just one location with a system at one-fifth of the price that served the entire company overall. She sat down with hiring managers, writing job descriptions that were relevant and helped us develop candidate pipelines. She helped us determine quickly and efficiently where our jobs should be posted, and affected an extremely simple process and procedure to handle resumes. In areas where we had “hard-to-fill” positions, she understood the extra work that was required to “source” hard-to-find talent and went out of her way to ensure that we had good people to interview and hire. Moreover, Ms. Quittel upgraded our internal processes significantly. She trained junior recruiters and interacted with the staff. She helped us to better articulate our competitive positioning, working on items ranging from the graphics in the lobby to the look and feel of the website and how we greeted, welcomed candidates and followed through after they left our site."
Robert Odhams, Recruiter NetManage	“Prior to Fran, our organization consisted of three recently-merged companies. One of the companies already had a resume management application and the other two companies were just using regular email for managing resumes. Fran was able to set us up with an application that we could use from multiple sites to manage the hiring process. In addition, the cost of the application for all of our sites was less than the cost we were paying for the application that was previously used by just one of our sites. Fran saved us money instantly and extended our ability to manage resumes from one site to multiple sites worldwide. The application worked wonders for us. We are a $100mm company and receive around 5,000+ resumes per year. By using the fully searchable system that Fran put in place, we were able to increase the number of hires we made from candidates applying to us. This helped reduce our reliance on third-party recruiters and resulted in savings that were well above the cost of the system. The application is easy to use and our HR team all learned how to use it within 15 minutes.
Jeremy Barnaby, Director of Recruitment Webridge	“I am currently using a web based online-application system that is helping Webridge during its transition to a mid-sized company. It is a great solution for the organization that needs to organize and track candidate/application flow as well as job postings. I personally know Fran Quittel who recognized the need for this type of product during her time in the Bay area and played a major part in bringing this solution to us. I also worked with her while at Microsoft in the early 90's where she taught me the ropes in recruiting. I cannot speak more highly of someone in the recruiting field who understands our needs from first hand experience. We also have greatly appreciated the support we have received on the product which has been prompt and thorough."
