HR Software just The Beginning.

Posted by Mathew French on 24 February 2011

Now that saas has emerged as the next frontier of HR Software, HR professionals are becoming more ethusiatic about innovation, and rightly so. For many years, HR professionals have been shown the same old features and benefits, over and over again. Promised the world and shown little in terms of what was promised. There is no doubt that which ever provider is clever enough to come up with a seamless offering that provides e-recruitment, e-HR (HR Software) and Payroll (Software or Service), will be the leader of the pack. THis offering really just needs to provide a reliable, sleamless data sharing capability. We really think that in the next 7 years, most payrolls will be outsourced to enable businesses to be far more nimble. To focus on how they themselves can create competitive advantage. Recruitment Software seems to be a big focus for SME’s. Recruitment Software with a direct alignment to Performance Management which I might add, needs to be kept simple and usable. Easy to execute and understandable.

People Management Systems Innovation Survey.

Posted by Mathew French on 23 February 2011

Some interesting results have come out of our Customer and General Market surveying. Our Customers are telling us they they want us to Deliver and Integrated Surveying solution to them as well as deeper Performance Management Features. The General Market is saying that they really are motivated by a Solution that provides e-Recruitment Software, HR Software and Payroll Software, all in one system. Generally speaking, the SME market is not happy with their e-recruitment systems and are looking for options. Recruitment agencies are mostly interested in Social Media Recruitment Tools. Whilst another really substantial request is for People Management Systems to be far more flexible.

Stay tuned for the release of our report.

Some other interesting information that we have gather relating to social media will also be released shortly. These figures include:

Talented Social Media - Social Media Recruitment

Posted by Mathew French on 3 February 2011

Job boards have been used for a long time as one of the main instruments to attract and hire people for positions. This is a proven and relatively predictable model that allows quick access to an active, large scale audience. Cost and success can be easily tracked and analysed. I think that the only real downside of Job boards is that for mainstream recruitment, the quality is sometimes a little wayward.

Digital HR Efficiency and Employee Caring Initiatives

Posted by Mathew French on 16 August 2010

Creating a Positive, Enjoyable work environment is the biggest challenge faced by Business Leaders. Whether you be a small, medium or large business, attracting the best talent and keeping is how you will gain the advantage. Though I pose this question, is this just about the bottom line, or, should there be a more humanistic approach to “Why” we are in business. How many Managers and HR professionals know, each day, how their workforce is feeling. Why are they happy, why are they sad. And how can the business contribute to a more balanced productive environment. You obviously need the tools and the vision.

Don’t Forget HR and Employee Well Being.

Posted by Mathew French on 11 August 2010

Was inspired by Heather Albrecht during a Digital Marketing Workshop, where we were asked the question: “Why”. “Why Subscribe-HR”. What makes you different. I am a very strong believer in work-life balance. For 7 years, I sold Software systems to HR and Recruitment professionals. These systems did not really add the type of value that allowed busy HR professionals to create more time for things they enjoy and also allowed employees to express their opinions and feeling about the business they spend 38 hours per week working for.
