Help the (other) department that helps everyone
Posted on November 20, 2006
If there’s another department that can be helped by systemizing data, it’s definitely HR. They track lots of things such as:
- Recruiting
- HR Policy Violations
- Salary Data
- Employee Performance Reviews
- Employee Satisfaction
And since they’re HR, they help you get paid and make sure that you like your job. It makes sense that you’d want to help them as well, right? Well, it’s simple if you’re on Salesforce.com - check out these AppExchange applications: link to AppExchange HR category.
We’re starting with Recruiting first because it requires a lot of data to be managed, most of the data comes from the computer anyway (at least with tech recruiting), and there are a lot of needs for data sharing and possibly for approval processes or work-flow later. Unfortunately, there are two applications available for recruiting, both for free from Salesforce.com, and both read like the same application. They are Recruiting and Recruiting Manager. We went with the “Recruiting” one because it required one less tab and we just wanted a simple starting-point that we’ll end up customizing down the road anyway.
The nice parts of this solution are that it’s integrated with SFDC, it only costs the price of an additional user license (which you may have laying around anyway), and your admin expertise alreay covers the application. Now that it’s installed in our instance and an overview has been performed with the HR person, we’ll aim for a trial with a few open reqs soon. I’ll keep an update here.
