PageUp Prepares for a Successful 2019

MELBOURNE,
AUSTRALIA -�
Media OutReach�- 22 February 2019�-PageUp, a leading provider of talent management solutions,
today announced major new customers, executive appointments and new product
offerings, enabling the company to continue transforming the way organisations
recruit, develop and retain talent in 2019.

Trends affecting the HR landscape

In 2019, the HR
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry is set to grow further. With technology
driving major efficiencies in recruitment, time to hire rates are decreasing
and offer to hire rates are increasing: a testament to the trend towards
streamlined, mobile-optimised application processes that treat the job seeker
like a customer.

Another trend
shaping the industry is the focus on
employee-initiated training opportunities. In 2018, PageUp saw an 80% increase in learning
activities requested by employees that require manager approval.

PageUp welcomes new customers

The rapid growth in the HR
technology landscape has been reflected in the new customers PageUp has won in
the first half of the 2019 financial year. These include Ramsay Health, Australia's largest private hospital operator, in a
partnership that will see the organisation deploying PageUp's recruitment and
onboarding solutions to streamline processes for over 30,000 staff across 73
hospitals and retail pharmacies in Australia.
Deakin University has also selected PageUp as its recruitment
solution to overhaul and modernise its talent management approach.

PageUp welcomes new AI partner

2019 sees PageUp welcome new
marketplace
partners
to join the 100+ HR
technology vendors in its partner marketplace. PageUp has
partnered with artificial intelligence startup PredictiveHire to empower joint customers to reduce bias in recruitment
processes.

Executive team appointments

To continue supporting
customers in the region, PageUp has announced a number of internal leadership
shifts. After leading PageUp's presence in the US region for the past five and
a half years, Robert Hill has returned to Australia and will be assuming the
role of Senior Vice President of Global Alliances.

Taking Hill's place will be
Sarah Forbes, who has relocated and assumed the role of Senior Vice President
of North America & EMEA in mid-January. Forbes led PageUp's South-East
Asian arm for five and a half years. Going forward, Forbes' prior position will
be split into two roles. Chee Leong Lee will focus on growth and sales as Vice
President Asia, while Aaron Hardy will focus on execution and operations as
Vice President Operations and Strategy Asia.

Platform enhancements

Continuing its dedication to
creating technology people love to use, 2019 sees PageUp elevating the user
experience of its products to make them more intuitive, mobile and
user-friendly. This follows the launch of its new Express offering, designed as
a solution to help mid-sized businesses evolve their talent management
processes.

"Modern jobseekers and
employees now demand a consumer-level technology experience from employers,"
said Karen Cariss, CEO and Founder, PageUp. "Increasingly people leaders are
deeply involved in the talent journey from candidate to alumni. HR technology
must serve a broad spectrum of users, from the most sophisticated to the least.
I'm proud to see how our team at PageUp works with customers to deliver
innovative solutions people love to use - software that is effective and has a
great user experience."
