The tactical aspects of recruiting, that is the actual implementation, can be the largest drain on your internal talent processes.
Recruiting itself is a highly process oriented function of your internal business as usual activities. Thus optimization of those business processes and instruments, and strategic alignment to your human capital objectives, as well as your overall organizational objectives is significant. Without efficient and Lean process designs your organization risks bottlenecks and unproductive behavior in every phase of the recruiting lifecycle. Whether it is the wrong selection of sources in the sourcing phase, and efficiency borne in the order and timeliness of recruiting activities, or the inability of your internal recruiting talent to activate the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities that will ensure sustainable and continuous success the Human Alliance can provide insight into your internal processes.
Some organizations choose to implement expensive technologies to manage their recruitment process, so that the technology itself becomes the entire process. With the reduction of cost of many mainstream SAAS applicant tracking systems, organizations are flocking to adopt technologies that they do not need, have unwisely chosen, will not assist in the achievement of strategic objectives, and eventually become the largest drain on your internal resources and time.
When it comes to efficient and strategic recruitment process designs technology is not the solution but is a part of the solution. What good is inexpensive and efficient applicant tracking system that no one uses or cares to use. In fact with all the dominant applicant tracking systems that allow internal communication for major organizations, e-mail is still considered the top method of communication internal to the entire hiring process.
In other words, organizations are spending thousands, hundreds of thousands, and possibly millions of dollars each year so that their internal talent acquisition team can use e-mail to collect, retain, share and evaluate applications for employment. If that is the problem that your internal team is facing, it is likely that your recruitment process design is flawed or is in need of general improvement at best.
The Human Alliance uses Lean and Six Sigma concepts as well as the concept of the human capital management book of knowledge in order to help you create a sustainable, continuously improving, efficient recruitment process that is aligned with your strategic objectives and goals and that would clearly provide value to your stakeholders.
