SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 7, 2011 — Evolv On-Demand, the leading provider of science-based, on-demand talent matching and intelligence solutions, today announced it has hired former Monster Worldwide VP Daniel Enthoven as its Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Enthoven is the latest management hire for Evolv as it ramps up to meet accelerating demand for intelligent performance management solutions that lower turnover and improve the productivity of hourly employees.

As CMO, Enthoven will be responsible for all aspects of Evolv’s marketing, as well as overseeing the company’s analytics team, which monitors customer and network performance data to drive insights that help companies optimize their hiring of hourly employees. Enthoven has deep experience in both on-line recruitment and enterprise software, having worked as Vice President of Product Marketing and Alliances at Monster Worldwide, and Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Trovix. He was also an early employee at Nuance Communications, where Enthoven was responsible for evangelizing voice recognition software in call centers, and later managing Nuance’s enterprise sales channels. He has a BA and an MBA from Stanford University.

“We are delighted to bring a marketing veteran of Dan’s caliber on-board at this stage of Evolv’s growth,” said Max Simkoff, CEO at Evolv. “Dan will be a major driver of Evolv’s expansion to serve more employers looking to dramatically reduce attrition rates and improve agent performance by recruiting the right talent for the right role, every time.”

Hourly employee turnover, which is well above 100% in some sectors, is a pervasive and costly problem for many types of companies, including call centers. The Robert Francis Group estimates that replacing a call center agent costs between $10,000 and $15,000, conservatively. The group forecasts that, at the lower figure, a 25 percent turnover rate costs a call center with 100 agents $250,000 per year. High turnover also lowers customer satisfaction and can lower revenue.

Evolv’s cloud-based analytics platform provides optimization and insight that enables hourly employers to make smarter hires. Evolv’s growing customer-base has experienced a more than 20% across-the-board reduction in entry-level employee early turnover rates within months of the initial Evolv implementation, collectively saving tens of millions of dollars per year.

This hiring comes on the heels of Evolv’s latest financing and Board additions. In April, Evolv announced that it had raised $15.75 million in Series-C financing, bringing total capital raised by the company to $27.5 million. The company also recently added GGV Capital Partner Jeff Richards and Google Chief Human Resources Officer Laszlo Bock to its Board of Directors.
