This research paper is based off a recently published report by The Aberdeen Group, which revealed that the top barrier hindering HR’s ability to be strategic to business objectives is “too much time spend on day to day tactical activities. This study also found that more than half the companies studied outsource some HR processes without sacrificing employee service or business outcomes.

Further, this study examines data from nearly 170 companies in the small and mid-size segment (up to 250 in headcount) to determine whether working with a professional employer organization (PEO) is a valid alternative to managing HR processes in-house.

This paper acts as a well-qualified resource for those desiring quantitative data to support the validity of how outsourcing key HR functions can produce positive business results.

Many companies are faced with the question of how to improve their recruitment operations. Applicant tracking systems were developed to help alleviate the perplexities of the recruitment process. However, before selecting an applicant tracking system, there are a few factors or questions to consider in the decision making process.

First, the main decision-making authority must be identified. Recruitment and hiring affect the entire company, so input must be considered from not only executives, managers, and human resources, but all functional divisions of the organization. It is also vital to get buy-in from technology groups, since they may be the ones to ultimately support the applicant tracking system...

There has been a lot of discussion and, quite frankly, confusion lately around selecting the best tests to use for predicting success and advancement at the senior management ranks. In the popular press and in professional discussion groups, there have been many single tests or approaches touted as the best “one” for these purposes. Consultants, human resources professionals and hiring managers seem to have their preferences based on their experiences.

While all of these measures are well researched and are very effective in certain applications, each one, by itself, only reveals a part of the overall picture for a given person. Just as a physician would never give one test to understand your entire health profile, we cannot expect that any one psychological test will reveal complex human potential and “derailers.”
