Updates
July 2017
The Recruiting Assessment project is completed and findings have led to several other projects:
Recruiting System Optimization: An in-depth analysis of enhancements to the Applicant Tracking & Recruiting application, powered by Taleo (Oracle) is underway. Based on what enhancements are needed, the next actions may include obtaining funding, adjusting business processes, and possibly reviewing certain changes with legal counsel.
Recruitment Services Strategy Change: The assessment findings resulted in changes to the recruiting services model, which will now focus on support for hard-to-fill jobs as well as for high volume jobs. Included in the changes are:
- A recruitment Master Service Provider agreement with external recruiters for hard-to-fill jobs
- Identifying how to fill vacancies that support existing staff career mobility
- Using the findings from the School of Medicine pilot that looked at how to share "silver medalist" candidates across all departments within that school, as well as ti determine the process and system enhancements needed to scale this approach university-wide
Stanford Careers Website Redesign: The website is now targeted for launch in late August/early September, and user testing will be conducted in early August after all content and images are completed.
First Service Anniversary Integrated Communications: Related to onboarding, this project will identify how staff who complete their first service anniversary are recognized and what communication they receive to help them feel appreciated and valued, as well as to understand the benefits that kick in at the one-year point.
