Based on the need to avoid the rigors of recruiting and the need to scale down the cost that comes with selection and recruitment exercises, companies enlist the services of (ABS) for specialized staffing and consulting services. Companies that seek out ABC form a part of the Fortune 500 ranking. Clients that seek out ABS leverage the efficiency of its systems to enhance their hiring experiences.

ABC has a system which meets the verifiability test. In addition, the systems maintain total control over its systems and all the steps and processes that it embodies. ABS seem to be on top of its game because it has infused technological innovations in its processes. For example, it explores the use of a software in its hiring processes. The firm does not only oversee the selection exercise and hiring processes on behalf of its clients, it also undertakes promotion of employees. Its scope is therefore limited only to hiring and promotion of employees on behalf of clients.

Of note, the system also determines how newly hired persons would be compensated. By relying on a well-managed database, the company easily traces historical data of employees when need arises. The company’s location is also ideal for clients who may wish to visit and make enquires; being located in major cities put the company in close proximity to organizations that may seek its services. Through marketing, ABS can get word out there of the services it offers. As such when companies, for one reason or another, feel the need to hire staff, they contact officials who work for ABS who in term brief the companies on the services and the terms that govern engagements with clients.

When a request is placed to have the company handle a staffing request, it explores from among the company’s employees to whether they would be candidate who provides the best match for the opening. In the event that the best fit for the open position is not found, the ABS turns its effort elsewhere. ABS has in its custody a tool that tracks and maintain employee data. That way, it enjoys the privilege of knowing which employee would mostly be due for promotion.

Advanced Business Systems has safeguards in place to protect its systems. For instance, any customer who wishes to interact with the system must undergo a verification process and their authenticity and identity confirmed before being given the green light to access the systems. This security designed with a dual identification mechanism and in such a way that for a person to secure access to the system, he or she must have a username and password for the login process to be carried out successfully.

Further, to buttress the safety of the system and in a bid to protect data that exist within the system, a customer makes a login attempt is provided with arbitrarily generated passcode; the measure thereof ensures that only customers provided with the login details by the company get access to its systems by verifying their identity one more time.

The interface on the clients’ end allow them to tweak user data to reflect the changes that may occur around them; for example, a clerk may choose to update contact information from where they would get randomly generated codes that would give them access to the platform (Denn, 1987). Other than enjoying the latitude to change personal and contact information, a user also gets to glean information on recruited employees as captured in the database. And the database is updated from time to time with the recruitment of new members. Other than selection and recruitment and measures to help onboard new employees, the system also used to check employee absence rate as well as the expenses accrued from strategies such as employee development.

Also, the system could be tweaked to embody aspects talent management, safety monitoring, employee training, and expenses accrued from recruitment exercises. Aside from the functions listed above, the system could also have a list of open positions in all companies that enlist its services; cover details that pertain to the open positions and offer the criteria that would be used to assess candidates that would fill the open positions.

Advanced Business Systems relies on the efficiency of online recruitment system as a factor that underpins its relevance in the market which is in congruence with (Scheer, 2000) assertion that online recruitment system exposes users to recruitment facilities that enable them to manage an organization’s human resource with efficiency and convenience. The platform that ABS offers bridges the gaps between potential employers and job seekers across the globe. As such it helps optimized human resource operations within organizations by addressing gaps that inherently affect human resource management.

In the event that ABS client company feels the need to have other employees join their team or when they are in need of services of contractors, they place requests with ABS consulting company. And such requests are made against the contact previously provided and in tune with the terms previously set by ABS and the client companies. Upon receipt of the contract, Advanced Business Systems reviews the request before allowing it to sail to the next step. In the off chance that the request is found to be out of tune with the terms of the contract earlier entered by Advanced Business Systems and a client company, the request is sent back to the client company its actions otherwise the request sails to the next phase the requirements are placed into the database.

Once in the database the placement department takes it upon itself to check the job requirements vis-à-vis potential candidates that exist in the system at the time of the request. The placement proceeds to select candidates that seem to be perfect fits for the requirements otherwise they are forced to source from outside their systems. In the event that a candidate found outside the database, Advanced Business Systems spends thirty days processing the candidate before sending information that touch on age, salary, allowances, gender and other invaluable information to the client company. The employees information is then entered into the database; he or she is then assigned a role.
