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.

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,...
