isolved, a leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, has completed the full integration of ApplicantPro, rebranding it as isolved Talent Acquisition. This strategic move enhances isolved’s ability to provide businesses with both a standalone applicant tracking system and a fully connected HCM platform through isolved People Cloud™, offering a more seamless hiring-to-retention experience.
For nearly a decade, ApplicantPro has operated under the isolved umbrella, supporting thousands of businesses in recruiting and retaining top talent. Now, with the integration fully realized, isolved Talent Acquisition brings a comprehensive approach to hiring, combining AI-powered recruitment tools, expanded analytics, and deeper connectivity across HR, payroll, and workforce management. The transition comes at a critical time, as talent acquisition remains a major challenge for HR leaders.
“There’s no better time to bring isolved and ApplicantPro together,” said Celia Fleischaker, Chief Marketing Officer at isolved. “With the majority of HR leaders reporting that recruiting and retaining talent is as difficult or more challenging than last year, businesses are prioritizing smarter, more efficient workforce solutions. isolved delivers with enterprise-ready software, expert services and an engaged community of HR, benefits, talent and payroll peers. Whether these leaders need standalone talent acquisition offerings or a full-suite solution, isolved will help them recruit, retain and develop their workforce for better business outcomes.”

As part of its commitment to talent acquisition innovation, isolved is investing heavily in new capabilities, including expanded recruitment services such as recruitment marketing and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) to help businesses reach top candidates more efficiently. AI-driven hiring tools, including candidate matching, automated job ad writing, and a soon-to-launch AI-powered virtual hiring assistant, are also being introduced to streamline the hiring process. Additionally, isolved Talent Acquisition offers a fully integrated experience that intelligently connects recruiting, HR, payroll, benefits, and workforce management, creating a more efficient system for employers looking to simplify and enhance their hiring strategies.
isolved’s continued investment in customer experience and technology has led to growing industry recognition. The company was recently named a Leader in Nucleus Research’s SMB HCM Technology Value Matrix for 2025, recognizing its strength in delivering enterprise-ready HR solutions with a focus on usability and return on investment. It was also ranked among the top five for user experience across nine product categories in Sapient Insights’ 27th Annual HR Systems Survey and earned the top spot in customer satisfaction for payroll, benefits, onboarding, and time management.
“As businesses look to simplify their technology stack, they need solutions that work seamlessly together while still offering the depth and expertise required to navigate today’s hiring complexities,” said Heidi Barnett, former CEO of ApplicantPro and now President of Talent Acquisition Solutions at isolved. “With isolved Talent Acquisition, companies no longer have to choose between an all-in-one suite and a best-in-breed solution. Now, they can have both—an applicant tracking system built for hiring success, fully connected to a powerful HCM platform that streamlines the entire employee journey.”
Beyond technology, isolved is also strengthening its People Heroes World community, a hub where HR professionals can connect, earn certifications, and participate in in-person events such as Connect for People Heroes and Community Meetups. The integration of ApplicantPro into isolved marks a significant step forward in workforce technology, reinforcing isolved’s mission to modernize talent acquisition and help businesses recruit, retain, and develop employees more effectively.
