Expected improvements

The table below explains the different areas where the system can be applied to and improve the same while looking at the current issues in the identified area. (Azadeh et al,. 2018)

Area

Current issues

Improvements

Collaboration

The hiring manager states that recruiting is only one area that he is responsible for and he is not as responsive to HR as he could be. Therefore, he counts on the recruiters to help manage the process and keep him informed.

An efficient system will all information in one place, easily accessible via a dashboard, and updated in real-time could make his recruiting job easier and he could devote time to effectively working collaboratively and proactively with HR on his staffing needs.

Communications

The administrative assistant who handles most of the communication in the company is overworked with information coming to and from different departments and individuals makes the work hard for them.

The system however comes with an interoffice email where the information and all communication are done using the software that is found there and it provides for templates and reduces the job done when drafting letters to different people and therefore making communication efficient.

Workflow

The hiring system involves a long process that is needed from the application time to the hiring of the selected candidate, manually this process would take the hiring manager a long time just to identify the suitable candidate.

The hiring system reduces the process of identification of the best candidate and simplifies the same by channeling the information from one person to another

Relationships

The different departments had no strong relationships were formed in the process due to different processes functioning individually and autonomously.

The system however brings about harmony between different departments by making sure that each department needs the other and vice versa this making the relationships stronger through constant communication.
