Internet technologies in the HR- a: No



here. here. I read an interesting article the other day on projections of the Internet in the near future.






Course of their work I often have to deal with HR- managers on the use of Internet technologies in their daily work. I must say that the great mass of excellent, innovative professionals in this respect, strangely conservative. As justification they put forward many arguments (some of which I will discuss in this post ), but probably the main reason is lack of confidence in the fact that it works, and a strong belief in the low-level ' advancement ' of employees.






Thus, the arguments against.






a. Our job seekers / employees - do not know how to use the Internet and / or do not have access to it.






This is one of the most common myths! . An experiment: Take a guess of any employee / candidate age of 35, regardless of where they live and find his VKontakte. I give 80% - ing warranty (and it's at least), you 'll find it there! . 0) and solved the problem of accessing a large number of smart phones at very affordable prices. Moreover, mobile operators have already realized the potential of this area, and vied with each offer competitive rates for Internet traffic.






Full internetization Ukraine matter of 3-5 years as a maximum. It is a fact that will have to accept. Prepare for it is now, because otherwise you can lose precious time (and, hence, profit).






And yet - if you do not force people to develop, they will not do. No need to get their applicants / employees learn to use a web- service - and they never will be a skill. If you put them in an impossible situation in a given situation, they will have to catch up to the level of.






2. It's expensive - and will have to pay each month.






Costs must always be weighed against the benefits and the likely benefit. Internet technology has several features:.




  • You do not need to install software on all desktop computers. Internet solutions are working through a browser. Therefore will not have to spend money to buy additional licenses.


  • Internet solution has no restrictions on the number of concurrent users in the system. So no need to ' get out ' to the other could ' enter '.


  • Manufacturers of Internet solutions provide users with regular updates - do not have to buy, no need to install on your computer. With the regular program, this process is much more complicated.


  • To work in such a system from any computer, so reinstalling Windows will not need to re- install the program and pay for the installation.


  • Access also can be provided with a mobile phone. This allows you to work efficiently in any situation and not waste precious time (for example, on the road - unless you're behind the wheel ).


  • Fee for such a system includes a system clock support and monitoring of safety data. ' Rob ' online database is much more complicated than just bring the computer out of the office and pick up your password.


  • The database program is on the Internet, so the data is stored in a single source, achievable, relevant to all users, and the most up to date format. Add the lack of duplication and prompt access to all necessary data.




3. In our branches slow internet and we do not want to teach employees how to use the system.







Web 2. 0 (the current ' web standards ') involves an important principle - the availability of the Internet resource for the user. From this follow two features of Internet solutions for HR: 1) the ' easy ' - m. e. Speed ​​and quality of the solution is not strongly dependent on the speed of the Internet and 2) the intuitiveness of the interface - it was not necessary to learn how to use. You have seen at least one training video on how to create an account to classmates, or how to send a message to a friend? .






4. We have enough of what we use now.






Are not you going to grow? . Tomorrow you will have 2 offices in different parts of the city and you'll be traveling between them with a stick (in this case will have to buy a license for 2 ). The day after tomorrow you will have a branch in another city.
