Finding Qualified Employees - A Growing Challenge
| |
Are you finding it harder to find and recruit talented, qualified
employees? If so, you are not alone. A recent study by i4cp (Institute for
Corporate Productivity) found over 57 percent of managers surveyed are
already experiencing talent shortages, and 82 percent believe it will
present a major problem over the next decade. This is not surprising when
you consider that according to U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics, more
than a quarter of the current working U.S. population will reach
retirement age by 2010.
If talent shortages are here to stay, how can HR professionals ensure their organization has the qualified personnel they need to continue to succeed in the marketplace? There are really only two choices: ramp-up recruitment efforts to hire the right talent or build a strong training program to develop people internally.
The most successful organizations will have the vision to invest in both options. And if you are using Sage Abra HRMS, you are ahead of the competition, as you already have the software technologies needed to support your efforts.
The Web-based Abra eRecruiter module is process-oriented and provides streamlined recruitment, whether managed by HR professionals or dedicated recruiters. The Abra Train module has all the tools you need to cost effectively run a training program, track certifications, and manage enrollment. Let’s learn more about these powerful Sage Abra modules. |

career center option allows employees to search and apply for jobs and refer
applications for open positions. Abra eRecruiter integrates with

Requisition Management

trail. eRecruiter ensures a fast, paperless recruiting process by
including a variety of workflow options. Approved requisitions are posted
to the career center; applicants are routed to recruiters for review;
qualified applicants are routed to hiring managers, and so on. Each
routing action is automatically updated in the database to provide current
status at any point in time.
