Staffing Management

Staffing management is the process of recruiting, evaluating, and selecting salaried, hourly, and contingent employees, following up and assessing their performance, and letting go those who are no longer needed or who do not meet your company's performance standards.

A wide variety of activities are covered in the staffing management process, including:

• Job requisition and approval process to manage your entire job requisition process and integrate with your company's sourcing, selection, and hiring practices.
• Candidate searches to quickly and easily locate candidates that meet specific job criteria.
• Sourcing management to manage all postings from your desktop using one simple process for internal and external career sites, referral sites, staffing agency sites, and multiple internet job boards.
• Qualification questionnaires to help you reduce the number of candidates under consideration to those best suited for the position.
• Referral management to more easily identify candidates that are employee referrals and accelerate them in the hiring process.
• Reporting and analytics software so you can develop and implement either standard or customized reporting procedures and fine tune your candidate analysis and assessment criteria.

With effective staffing management, corporations can perform these functions and more to finely tune workforce management and improve performance.
