Six Flags Selects Deploy Solutions(TM) for Recruiting, Hiring and
Talent Management for All of its U.S. Theme and Water Parks A
significant reduction in turnover is achieved while simultaneously
increasing guest compliments WESTWOOD, Mass., March 9 /PRNewswire/
-- Deploy Solutions(TM), a premier provider of applicant tracking,
recruiting and talent optimization solutions for large companies
with multiple worker types, announced recently that Six Flag
(NYSE:PKS) has signed a service agreement to roll out Deploy
Solutions' human resources management tools across all of its theme
and water parks in the U.S. Six Flags used Deploy at two of their
theme park locations to see how well the system would work for
them. The tests were conducted at Six Flags Over Texas in
Arlington, Texas and Six Flags AstroWorld in Houston, Texas. Based
on the results, the solution was presented to the Six Flags
corporate management team for use at their parks across the
country. An initial implementation of Deploy tools for maximizing
performance in recruiting, hiring and retaining staff at Six Flags
Over Texas and Six Flags AstroWorld provided quantifiable results
of the system's capability for increasing applicant flow,
prescreening candidates, and reducing employee turnover,
terminations, and theft issues, while lowering hiring costs
associated with advertising positions and interviewing candidates.
Employing Deploy's web-based and kiosk-based recruiting strategies,
the Houston park experienced a 73% rise in applicants from 2003 to
2004. Pre- employment screening and assessment applications saved
the Houston park over 1,550 hours of interview time by effectively
screening out non-qualified applicants. Six Flags Over Texas in
Arlington experienced similar successes. Both parks experienced
significant declines in turnover. The Arlington park also reported
terminations for negative reasons were cut nearly in half while
Houston attributed an increase in park compliments due to improved
employee attitude and morale. "Six Flags commitment to use our
services at all of their facilities in the U.S. is a testimony that
our solutions provide great business value," said Sham Sao, Deploy
Solutions' Global Vice President of Marketing and Business
Development. "Our services streamline the hiring process, track
talent to job position and retain the employees you want to keep."
