Collaboration |
The hiring manager states that recruiting is only one area 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. Current manual system causes considerable communication breakdowns and takes additional effort and time to stay on the top of the hiring process. |
An efficient system with all the 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. |
|
Communication: Explain how a hiring system could improve internal and external communications. |

The hiring system will quickly send information to the proper receiver, contain all the essential files and keep the important information from being missing. Creating a foundation for communication and stop physical communication barriers, like paper missing in the time of need. |

Workflow: Explain how hiring system could improve MTC hiring process by providing a consistent structure for each participant to perform his/her part in the hiring process. |
The manual hiring process includes many time taking steps, and missing of paper work and interoffice mail. Some parts of the workflow can be break down during excessive workload. |
Reducing the paper work and automating the hiring steps. Also creating more efficient workflow structure. This allows employees to focus on other duties, task and future projects. |

Relationships: Explain how implementing an enterprise hiring system could foster stronger relationships with applicants/Employees: |
Recruiter not knowing the applicants’ status in a timely fashion, making the company’s first impression to be slow, unmanaged and technologically not up to date. |
With the hiring systems, emails will be sent to applicants notifying them of their status shortly after interview and recruiter will have access to candidates’ status. The first impression would be an efficient and up to date, creating a foundation of respect for the future of the company. |
