More on informal recruiting networks

SAP and HRO platforms
.
A few weeks ago I stated I thought SAP would end up being the default HRMS platform for HRO/BPO vendors. Looks like they have started the ball rolling. Instead of getting into HRO administration, they are doing what they do…

A primer on messaging
.
Michael picked up on my workflow post and added some great points regarding messaging. I thought I’d do a light “primer on messaging” to round out the topic. Now I have to figure out how to explain this in 3…

IBM’s inability to capitalize on HRO
.
Well, maybe tier inability to capitalize on IT services and BPO in general seem to have tripped up the entire stock market, and especially the U.S. market. IBM has been moving towards services over data center management for some time…

HRO executives expect consolidation

All the major HRO players are saying their sales pipelines are full. The problem is that competition is making the revenues per employee per year drop substantially, and margins are not sufficiently high to sustain the industry. Everyone seems to…

Lawson Systems Review
.
OK – so I never mentioned Lawson until the last post. They are definitely one of the major vendors in the enterprise HR space, but I’ve always had concerns about them. My personal opinion is they are a prime takeover…

A primer on workflow
.
So what is workflow? Well obviously the first thing that comes to mind are the simple messages that we get when a database event happens. However, I’d like to take some time and expand on what this means, and what…

Oh My God!!! Payroll Outsourcing
.
Ultimate is not the best payroll outsourcer. In fact, do they even really qualify for this category? Let’s talk Paychex, ADP and Ceridian. Now these are outsourcers. What’s the difference? A huge back room – the 3 REAL PR vendors…

Tough adoption for e-learning
.
I must admit that while I’m an avid reader of news and information on the web, e-learning just irritates me. On the web, I want to be able to control the pace of my interactions with the PC and go…

The ATS Market
.
OK – so I’m writing a lot about ATS vendors lately and I thought I’d do an overview of the market. As usually, this is my opinion of the market, and even some of the “facts and figures” in here…

In an “it’s about time” one of the major ATS vendors is finally rolling out a hiring management solution for the lower end market. For all the people who were sick of seeing $250K implementations for BrassRing and Taleo, Taleo…

Good bad and sad vendor news
.
In an interesting vendor day, there’s good news, bad news and depressing news. First the good news. Oracle has released patches and fixes for the PeopleSoft products. Many organizations have been worried about the support Oracle would be offering, but…

Internets, networks, and recruiting technology
.
Funny that Michael from another HR blog should mention Jobster. I’ll feed off of that for this post. This is a great tool for recruiters and should help them tap into the “not looking” or “inactively looking” candidate population. I’m…

BrassRing and staffing HRO
.
I thought it would be a cool thing to spotlight either vendor services or software functionality every now and then. Generally I won’t look at “the normal stuff” but instead I’ll check out things that I think are new, in…

Outsourcing employment verifications with Talx

Every time I go visit clients to think about new HRMS systems, one of the topics that comes up most often (functionally) is how software can automate all the requests from mortgage companies for employment and salary verifications. Now, there’s…

Plumtree has just made it much easier to substantiate the ROI on your portal investment. Of course, your organization has to be using the Plumtree portal, but this is one of the best out there anyway. Portals generally allow you…

HR and Sarbanes Oxley
.
Obviously if you read my prior posts, I have some focus on what the role of HR and SOX is, but most companies still don’t see the connection. Clearly HR is critical in communicating changes and implementing training to the…

Employee Value Propositions

Andrew from the strategic resourcing blog had some nice comments about building employee value propositions (VP). Even though my blog is about HR technology, many companies lose sight of strategic VP’s as they implement technology and process to add to…

News of interest to Dubs

Item 1:I think it’s important to note diversity sometimes. HR Executive Magazine announced their 25 most influential women in HR today (U.S.). I say this is important because HR was once viewed as one of those jobs women got (HR…

HR Budget Funding

Surprise surprise!! This article begins by stating that HR is often the last department to get funding for technology and process automation. However, this historical trend seems to be changing as HR becomes more strategic. The article does not really…
