TECHNOLOGY SPEEDS BUSINESS TREND
The use of employee hiring assessment tools and systems has been a rapidly growing aspect of American business and continues to increase with the adoption of Application Tracking Systems (ATS) and Hiring Management Systems (HMS). Employers are becoming more and more focused on making sure that the right person is in the right job and are more thoroughly analyzing the economic and branding impact of effective person-job match. Business leaders are inundated with books, articles, and seminars that describe case studies showing the profitability and shareholder equity increases when companies get the people equation right. Every company is searching for the magical combination of talent at the top that will drive increased performance, market share, and longterm stability and profitability. Additionally, many are making HR and IT investments that they believe will carry this human capital equation down through the organization where it touches the customer on a daily basis.
At BHI we believe that the integration of hiring and retention strategies with information technology (software and the web) has the capacity to profoundly change American business. But just as in any revolution, there is a good deal of confusion and false claims as suppliers of these tools and software systems rush to provide solutions in the marketplace. There are hundreds of HR consulting firms purporting to have fantastic hiring tools and now over two hundred companies offering ATS and HMS that claim they will save each company millions of dollars. Competition among these suppliers for your business is fierce and because these solutions are complex, most executives and HR professionals find it hard to separate the puffery from reality.
