Challage
Finding qualified staff is never
easy. In this case, the customer had invested considerable cost and effort into
their recruitment initiatives but were not satisfied with the return on
investment. The client came to Omosoft knowing they needed help in bringing a
more sophisticated web solution to life. This web solution would need to
facilitate improved organization of their HR processes and provide a custom
search engine to locate resumes and vacancies. They would also need to
communicate with employee assessment service providers and synchronize the
results.
Solution
Omosoft’s answer was to unite the
existing human resources department and records of potential new hires into a
single corporate recruitment portal. Following extensive user research, the
decision was made to segment by user role. Each user was given an account with
contact information, work history, feedback, and more. Based on those user
accounts, HR was able to consolidate candidate data and take advantage of an
improved search function with customizable tags. This also allowed HR to
directly update candidate statuses, check resumes, and manage vacancies.
Additional assets included skill test results (added to the portal via Windows
Communication Foundation) and easier communication with employee assessment
service providers.
Impact
Our team successfully launched the corporative career portal and ensured
immediate implementation. By removing the need for making changes to the system
with each new test type, the client was able to significantly reduce
maintenance costs. Currently the customer has committed to the development of
further versions of the application to enrich the possibilities of the new
portal.
