Sabre Virtual Meetings is the only solution providing enterprise-wide, secure access to private and partner video conferencing rooms as well as a global network of thousands of public rooms.

TNS Partners is responsible for recruiting top talent on a global level and already uses visual communications to assess and evaluate prospective candidates around the world. With Sabre Virtual Meetings, the firm will be able to simply locate, reserve and connect high definition video conferencing rooms via an easy to use, cloud-based scheduling system for private and public rooms.
“We are excited that TNS Partners will utilise our ground-breaking collaboration technology for its recruitment process,” said Suzanne Neufang, president of GetThere and Sabre Virtual Meetings. “The ability to easily find the right video meeting rooms with transparency around price and service is very compelling.”

As the global workforce continues to change and evolve so do the methods of attracting and recruiting top talent.

That is precisely the type of efficiency and expertise a business like ours needs for our partners to perform at the highest level.”
