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, I like the way they use a google site for their new hire documents, it’s exactly the same way we do it at my company. Even though ADP had a lot of good qualities there are definitely spots where it would be hard to sort or manage data and I also am not a fan of no offer letter capability. 

Probably wouldn’t implement any of the specific solutions from what I learned today mostly because of the lack of customization BUT I really do like the fact that the ATS and HRIS is integrated which I definitely think would be very advantageous at my company. 

We also learned about the method of Project Management (6 D’s). This was very helpful to me and I can implement this to small and large projects that I work on in both my professional and my personal life. I’ve helped in many projects in the past at either school or work and I’ve followed this method in one way or another but I never really wrote down my plan. Seeing this is very helpful in writing down your thoughts. 

PLEASE DONT GET SICK ON THE RUG! software analysis. This was super helpful to learn about. My HR Strategy is to keep a focus on technology and this is something that I can definitely take with me to conferences, networking events, or wherever to ferret out what a vendor/software can do.
