Connection

What best describes your situation for how you hire contingent and part/time workers?


Connection

- Recruitment is responsible for PT and Project hires, client area manages contingent and contract hires through contracts managed by our procurement department and we are not involved with that unless we convert that labor to a regular or PT hire (salaried and admin only)

- We have dedicated sourcers targeting specific areas where the vendor struggles. Otherwise, we stay out of this area as much as possible

- All contingent labor managed through our vendor

- Our field managers directly hire contractors and per diems, recruitment offers some but limited support for contractors.

- Our in-house recruiters fill company part-time positions; however, for hourly and professional contractors/contingent workers we have several vendors including a wide selection of diverse suppliers.

- Internal TA employees work with contracted vendors. Database is separate from ATS.

-We are not responsible for this area but help out when needed.

Contingent (continued)

Is there F/T hiring being done in the US that you do not perform (or oversee) ?

Connection

Are you Outsourcing all or part of your Recruitment Process?

- Some of our craft hires are outsourced. - We outsource Research/Sourcing only for select Sr. positions - We plan to outsource hires in 2008.- We are evaluating whether RPO makes sense for any

segments of our organization. - One division has an RPO arrangement in place currently - We use a firm to assist with high-volume Retail

RPO is still in its early stages

What is “ALL OTHER”?

- None (5)- Most of them we don't know. (10)- Coop, Intern hires not in source data; - 878 hires did not indicate source of hire within (ATS) - 920 hires indicated "other" as source within (ATS)- Remainder of hires are unknown. - Radio, TV, Other non-print media, professional Associations, - Community Associations - Targeted email campaigns– Outplacement- Candidates that were migrated from our old ATS. - Unknown. we have limited tracking- Professional Associations- Unfortunately our “Other” group is very large because a response is required in the drop down so a large number of people choose this response

Require “other” to be

DIRECT SOURCING Comments

- Currently our ATS search algorithm is unreliable and ineffective and we have shifted our internal database from being a first choice in direct sourcing to second choice behind purchased databases.

- We prefer Email marketing to targeted lists.

- Direct sourcing efforts aren't specifically tracked.

- Company tends to rely on vendors for cold calling due to its conservative position on the practice.

- In limited cases we have partnered with third-party vendors to provide sourcing support

- We have a dedicated sourcing that supports corporate roles.

- Networking, referrals from hiring managers are followed up as a priority.

Sourcing is still

evolving
