4. Who Should Have Say In Your HR Software Decision?
If you want to make a well-
informed choice about your
HR software, ask your
finance manager, CEO,
employee representatives
and your IT head, besides
your HR manager. They will
help you decide on
functionality, budget,
future-proofness, usability
and infrastructure.

5. 3 Things For Medium Enterprises To Consider When Shopping For HR Technology
If they haven’t already,
medium businesses are more
than likely to give HR tech a
go this year. With a well-
developed business case, a
single (and not integrated)
application and strong
commitment to compliance
they will be doomed to
succeed.

6. Hiring Tools Are Evolving: What’s The Next ATS?
ATS is still good for
tracking applicant, but also
so much more. Job
distribution, customer
(read: talent pool)
management and
prediction-based filtering
are among the features
that make it ready for
2015. Good software is
designed with the hiring
manager in mind.

7. How To Hire Even If You Have No Experience In Hiring
If you don’t have a dedicated
HR person, make one of
yourself. Don’t ignore job
boards, while also looking
elsewhere, like in-house. Your
current employees can
become candidates as well as
referrals. Let work samples
and attitudes do most of the
talking, and whatever you do,
don’t sacrifice quality for
quantity.

8. How To Use Texting To Secure Top Talent
Recruiters like it, candidates
don’t really: texting people
about job openings is a
controversial topic. That said, it
can be a tool with a higher
respondant rate than email in
certain cases. Younger
applicants find it professional
enough, and it’s acceptable for
many in the case of scheduling
and confirming an interview or
a follow-up.
