New Recruitment and Hiring System Coming!
After an extensive review of solutions available, we are excited to announce we will be implementing a new Talent Acquisition Management System – SAP’s Success Factors – to replace the PeopleSoft recruiting module with a projected launch in the Fall of 2018! The drivers for implementing a new system are a direct result of feedback from the applicant community, the hiring manager community, Field Human Resources and state employees.
As many of you know, our current recruitment system is outdated and at a point where it is no longer able to be supported by the software provider. It became evident it couldn’t meet the Strategic Talent Acquisition goals we have committed to for our internal and external customers as outlined below:
Talent Attraction and Candidate Experience:
We want to provide a positive experience for job seekers in how they interact with our recruitment system. A big part of that is having a solution that makes the application process as straightforward as possible while providing recruitment and hiring managers the critical data needed to evaluate applications and move candidates through the process. Additionally, the new recruitment system will have an eye-catching, informational Careers Page which will better articulate “why our work matters.”
Hire Better, Hire Smarter:
We wanted to reduce unnecessary time and labor on anyone involved in the hiring process here at the state while also reducing “time to hire” and improving “quality of hire.” The new recruitment system will streamline the workflow between Candidates, Recruitment, and Hiring Managers, so information is readily accessible and delivers the required data to make the best decision on screening, interviewing and hiring. The system will provide clear, user-friendly interfaces, robust reporting capabilities, and logical communication channels that will make the task of engaging with candidates and internal parties more automated.
As we begin to configure the new system, we will provide updates and specific product information as well as scheduling the training you will need.
