Attracting qualified employees is a critical and costly endeavor for many hospitals. KHA Solutions Group (KHASG) is therefore happy to introduce KyHealthCareers.com, a next-generation employee recruiting, applicant tracking and compliance system.

World Energy operates leading online exchanges for energy and energy related commodities. Their World Energy Exchange brings together the process, tools and intelligence to help today’s energy buyer translate the complexity of the deregulated energy markets into cost savings and a competitive advantage. The Exchange delivers the liquidity and transparency necessary to help you get the best price in electricity, natural gas, and green power.

Through the Exchange, qualified suppliers compete against one another for your business using a structured and transparent reverse auction platform. Suppliers and buyers alike see each lowest bid in real time, causing natural marketplace competition to push prices progressively, and often dramatically, lower. Contracts are frequently executed within an hour of auction’s end, lowering risk premiums.

World Energy also offers a ‘post and respond’ process that provides continual visibility into the market, putting the buyer in control by posting relevant information online and allowing bidders to “hit” your price. This combination of online tools allows you to get the best price at any moment in time and the best price across time.

How World Energy does it:

  • Process and technology create price transparency
  • A network of more than 250 suppliers creates liquidity
  • RFP architecting and a trusted platform create hyper-competition
  • Built-in documentation supports SOX and protest-free procurements
  • Performance-based fee structure means they don’t get paid until your objectives are met
