HRST Blog 14 - What did you learn & what do you...
This week we learned about Taleo Enterprise OnBoarding. I like the offer acceptance feature and how it is highly configurable. Also like the fact that tax forms are in there. But the catch is the fact that there has to be a whole rebuild if you want to change things. This could possibly be implemented at my company. It would be convenient to have the tax forms and other forms pre-filled prior to a...

This week we got a demo of Sonar 6. Super cool, never heard of them before, so I was quite excited. Sonar 6 is a performance review software which solves the problem of that the performance reviews aren’t getting done in companies.
In terms of the actual product, I like the idea of engagement and the fact that the employee has their own portal to track their own performance. It looks clean and a...
HRST Blog 11 - Analyze an HR software solution of...
I decided to analyze Talentwise. I know it’s something we haven’t talked about in class, so just a bit of background. We may be looking into some employment screening services and I was interested in seeing what was out there. We are in the very early stages of implementing a background check process, so I have not received all the details on my end so I went out to just test the...
HRST Blog 10 - What did you learn & what do you...
This week we talked about Taleo, Hirevue and Slideroom. And we continued talking about software analysis. First we talked about security, this would be the number one concern for most companies especially when employee data is concerned. If you’re at a company that has people that are not comfortable with having data in the cloud, it would be very important to find a way to get buy in from sr...
HRST Blog 9 - Case Study
Case Study: You are the HR Technologist for an organization with 1200 employees. You receive a call from an employee that claims that their department data is incorrect in the employee directory. You check the HRIS system, and it appears to be correct. What can be going on? How do you approach this problem?
I like this case study because I have experience in troubleshooting problems like...
HRST Blog 8 - What did you learn & what do you...
Today we learned about Zoho recruit. I like it because it’s easily configurable, it automatically posts to other job boards (Indeed, SimplyHired) and it looks easy to use. This technology would be REALLY good for a small non profit or a startup. It definitely gets the work done but is not that robust. Don’t like the fact that there is no offer letter feature. Depending on the size of the company,...

HRST Blog 7 - What did you learn & what do you...
Learned about the way opentable uses ADP as their ATS/HRIS system. Seeing how it works from a candidate and managers perspective, I like it because it’s clean and it looks like it’s quite easy to navigate. Also, I like how it integrated data from start to finish (ATS into HRIS). It’s more efficient than having two separate programs which potentially can cause a disconnect. Also,...

Charter - Paperless Offer Approval Process
Problem Statement
The recruiting team currently uses a manual offer approval process in which an offer letter is physically printed out and wet signatures are collected from each approver. This process is inefficient and has room for improvement.
The recruiting team would like to look into and possibly implement an electronic approval system which would...

HRST week 2! Today we learned a little about Peoplesoft watched the “Did You Know” video and discussed the future of work. My current company uses Peoplesoft and we utilize it so that employees and managers can do self serve on some things. When I think back to my past companies, I wish we had something similar in place. I remember how much time and effort it would take to do the...
HRST Blog 4 - Given the future of work, what's...
Watching the “did you know” video made me think about the future of technology in general which will eventually trickle down to the future of our work and essentially HR. The future is an abundance of mobile devices, instantaneous information and smaller/faster technology. HR traditionally has an abundance of paper records and moving to digital records will result in a saving of time...
HRST Blog 3 - Bonus Blog
One topic that particularly sparked my interest that came up tonight was using Twitter to recruit. From a recruiters point of view, recruiting through Twitter is a double-edged sword. Good news is you get TONS of candidates, but, are these the right candidates? If you’re recruiting for a job with a very specific skill set and your followers happen to have that skill set, you’re golden. But...

Not sure what my expectations are for this class is yet. I’m hoping to learn about other HR software that I would be able to apply to my job. The way I plan to measure my success is to see if I can solve at least three problems with ideas or tools that I learn about...
HRST Blog 1 - What did you learn & what do you...
First week of the HR Systems class. We learned about Web 2.0 and “The Five Pillars of Consumer Tech” among other things. As of right now there’s nothing that I can apply to my profession or personal life… yet.
I’m very interested to learn what HR Systems my new classmates have used and what HR Tech problems they will be presenting in class. On the drive back home, I was...

The Weekend Before Christmas
I’m done Christmas shopping, but I still needed to go do some errands and I made the mistake of going to the mall. Full of unhappy workers and clueless consumers, I should just wait until after Christmas to do anything.
