New Cornerstone OnDemand white paper shares best practices for helping healthcare HR leaders evolve their people management and development strategies
HRchitect featured Cornerstone OnDemand in our release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Management Systems and top Learning Management Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Charles Coy participated in the HRchitect WebMingle on January 16, 2009. Cornerstone OnDemand participated in the Talent Management Systems Beauty Pageant in December 2008, where they were crowned the winner.
If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 14 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation. Simply put, do not invest in any kind of HR technology without consulting with the experts first. HRchitect is always available to help!
Changes in the healthcare industry, such as consolidations, nursing and IT staff shortages, and increasingly detailed regulatory compliance needs, are requiring healthcare HR leaders to evolve their employee development and management strategies. A new white paper from Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ: CSOD), “Talent Management for Healthcare: Facilitating Organizational Excellence and Outstanding Patient Care,” shares how leveraging talent management software, combined with the right strategies, can help healthcare providers better meet compliance requirements, address skill gaps, streamline processes and improve the quality of patient care.
Compared to other industries, Bersin & Associates research shows that healthcare has traditionally been slow to adopt and implement talent management automation and processes. This includes processes for training and development, performance management, onboarding and succession management.
“Today’s comprehensive HR software solutions make it much easier to establish common processes and track and report on employee information across even the largest, most dispersed health systems,” said Julie Norquist Roy, VP of marketing for Cornerstone OnDemand. “From blended learning and real-time performance observation to compliance assessments, organizations now have the ability to automate and integrate processes that tend to be paper-based or conducted in silos. And by empowering employees with appropriate training and development support, we’ve seen our clients improve working environments and boost staff retention.”
One organization that is successfully managing the compliance needs of its medical community is the St. Louis-based BJC HealthCare. BJC uses Cornerstone’s learning and development platform, as well as Cornerstone’s performance observation checklist functionality, to standardize clinical competencies across its hospital system and observe and measure competencies and performance in the field in real-time. This helps to ensure superior patient care and safety, as well as compliance with accreditation standards and requirements imposed by Joint Commission, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and state agencies.
To jump-start learning and talent initiatives in a healthcare organization, Cornerstone’s white paper recommends these five steps:
- Build with an eye toward integration. A strong learning management system will benefit from onboarding, performance and succession initiatives. To maximize the value of your investment, consider targeted, formal development programs for employee supervisors.
- Automate job descriptions with a foundation of competencies. Standardize job descriptions and competencies to create a common culture in large healthcare systems and build job profiles that will guide career development, training and performance improvement across your organization.
- Build internal talent pools. Grow your own talent by implementing appropriate talent management and learning tools. This makes identifying high-potential employees and developing critical skills easier to accomplish.
- Collaborate to build a comprehensive succession strategy. HR can and must play a crucial role in facilitating the next generation of leadership. Technology can identify the gaps and assign development plans for designated successors.
- Leverage the power of software-as-a-service (SaaS). Healthcare employers can now rapidly implement talent solutions at a far lower cost and with greater operational efficiency. Other advantages include less time to ROI.
Healthcare organizations such as Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Sanford Health and WellSpan Health use Cornerstone’s comprehensive SaaS solution to streamline their people management processes. To learn more about talent management best practices for healthcare or read more about BJC HealthCare’s initiatives, download the white paper at http://www.cornerstoneondemand.com/talent-management-healthcare-facilitating-organizational-excellence-and-outstanding-patient-care.

Indeed.com today announced the launch of Indeed Resume, an open search engine for resumes. Indeed Resume provides employers and recruiters instant access to millions of qualified candidates on the #1 job site. Indeed Resume is free during beta and available at http://www.indeed.com/resume.
“Resume search on Indeed is as fast and simple for employers as our job search is for job seekers,” said Chris Hyams, Indeed’s VP of Product.
Unlike the subscription-only resume databases of job boards, Indeed Resume is an open search engine. Searching for resumes is free and unrestricted and does not require an account. Employers can contact job seekers for free during the beta period.
“With no up-front costs or per-seat licenses, Indeed Resume is for everyone from the small business owner looking to make one hire to the Fortune 500 company filling thousands of openings,” said Hyams.
Indeed Resume enables 1-click apply to select jobs on Indeed.com, and offers job seekers privacy protection that traditional resume databases lack. Initial contact is brokered by Indeed and personal contact information (phone number, email, and address) remains private until the job seeker chooses to share it.
Searching for candidates is made possible using familiar “what” and “where” search boxes. Instant Search suggests common search terms and automatically displays results as you type. Resumes may be previewed without ever leaving the search results page, allowing employers to quickly view the details of candidates. Employers can set up unlimited saved searches and receive daily emails with new and updated resumes matching their search criteria.
Indeed Resume represents a significant expansion of the company’s services to employers and recruiters, building on its leadership as the #1 pay for performance recruitment advertising network.

New Mobile App Combines Location-Based Technology With Talent Intelligence to Match Professionals With Nearby Opportunities for Jobs, New Business, Networking or Collaboration
HRchitect featured Taleo in our release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Taleo appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on November 6, 2009. HRchitect attended the 2010 & 2011 TaleoWorld conference and HRchitect’s Matt Lafata, one of the industry’s leading talent management systems analysts, attended Taleo’s annual Sales and Services meeting in 2010 & 2011.
If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 14 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation. Simply put, do not invest in any kind of HR technology without consulting with the experts first. HRchitect is always available to help!
A new, free mobile application from Taleo Corporation (NASDAQ: TLEO), the global leader of SaaS-based Talent Management solutions, will allow professionals to engage with their talent network wherever they go — from conferences to coffee shops.
Taleo Radar combines location-based mobile technology with talent intelligence to pinpoint opportunities and match them with professionals whose skills and experience make them candidates for job openings, new business pitches, or professional collaboration and networking. The new app is available today from the iTunes AppStore for Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch running iOS 4.0 and later. Taleo also plans to release Taleo Radar on Android and BlackBerry platforms.
“More and more of today’s smart phone users rely on services that use GPS-based location information to connect them with relevant offers, or to alert them whenever their friends and colleagues are nearby,” said Jason Blessing, executive vice president of products and technology at Taleo. “Taleo Radar takes this concept and then adds talent intelligence to give professionals real-time visibility into the people and opportunities around them. Like no other application or service, Taleo Radar offers the ability to drive people toward the openings that could change their careers and their business.”
Taleo Radar offers professionals an easy way to promote their skills and expertise to interested parties located a few blocks away, or even in the same room. They simply download the app and then provide some basic information — such as name, job title, photo and contact information — that will be broadcasted through the network. Users can then add simple posts about what they have to offer, how long they plan to be in a particular location, and the kind of opportunity they’re seeking.
When users share their presence, they in turn can see other professionals located near them, with potential contacts displayed on a map or in a list view — whichever users prefer. When they spot someone they’re interested in meeting, they simply send a connection request. Only after the recipient responds can a connection be established.
To ensure a safe and secure way to network and collaborate, Taleo Radar gives users ultimate control over how much or little they want to broadcast. For instance, one person may wish to list only her job title, experience and the type of opportunity she’s seeking. Someone else may opt to broadcast more information, including a photo.
“Whether interviewing for a new job or presenting their start-up idea to a venture capitalist, Taleo Radar users can harness the power of talent intelligence and the advantage offered by proximity and availability to transform a cup of coffee into the next job or the next deal,” added Blessing.
And because the new app is powered by Taleo’s Talent Exchange, creating a Taleo Radar account also registers users for a Universal Profile that can be used on Talent Exchange to apply for jobs at thousands of employers, nearly 50 percent of the Fortune 100 and nearly 80 percent of the Fortune 500.

Talent management leader Halogen Software announced today the company has opened a UK office to meet increased global demand for its talent management solution, which has more than doubled in the past year. The expansion of its global operations with a London office will allow Halogen to more easily market and sell its award winning talent management solutions internationally, while maintaining its commitment to deliver a world class customer experience.
According to a recent study by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), over 50% of organisations believe the competition for talent has increased. As a result, more organisations are looking for sustainable ways to manage talent1.
“Today’s leaders understand that the only sustainable competitive advantage an organisation has is its workforce,” said Paul Loucks, President and CEO, Halogen Software. “As a result, talent management has become a strategic imperative, which has fueled demand for our solution across the globe. This expansion into Europe will enable us to address this demand.”
Halogen also expects the expansion of company offices into the UK to further solidify and build on its relationships with international partners. “We’re privileged to partner with leading international human capital consulting partners and resellers,” continued Loucks. “Putting in-field resources in the UK will help us better support them.”
With Halogen Software’s Talent Management Suite organisations help establish their talent as a lasting competitive advantage, and achieve better business results through a high performing, aligned and engaged workforce.
Halogen Software’s relentless commitment to meeting customer needs is echoed by new and long-standing customers alike. Dale Alexander, Managing Director at Wilsonart, explains why the UK-based company recently selected Halogen Software to support its talent management needs.
“We evaluated several vendor solutions and the ease of use and flexibility of Halogen eAppraisal™ made it a front runner,” said Alexander. “We really like that additional modules for other talent management functions, like succession planning, can be added when we’re ready. The solution is designed to grow with us and clearly fits our future requirements.”
Alexander also notes how impressed Wilsonart is with the excellent level of customer service he received before and after becoming a Halogen client. “Halogen’s support team is very responsive. It’s good to know that their team is with you every step of the way. We were challenging in our requirements. We would definitely recommend Halogen.”

Bernard Hodes Group, an Omnicom company, today announced that it has signed an agreement to sell its award-winning talent acquisition product, Hodes iQ, to Technomedia, a leading provider of integrated talent and learning management solutions for global organizations. The newly combined company will operate under the name Technomedia-Hodes iQ in the US, and Technomedia elsewhere in the world, and serve hundreds of customers across the globe.
The transaction builds on Hodes iQ’s leadership position in the talent acquisition marketplace and Technomedia’s dominance in learning and performance management, giving the newly formed company a broader product set and the development resources, scalability and expertise required to meet the growing market for comprehensive talent management solutions.
“This was not an easy decision to make. In Hodes iQ we created a fantastic software tool and grew it into the market leader that it is today,” said Alan Schwartz, CEO, Bernard Hodes Group. “However, we always strive to do what’s best for our clients and merging Hodes iQ into Technomedia will do just that, providing our customers with a stronger product suite that is still seamlessly connected with Hodes.

Taleo Enterprise(TM) Combines the Power of Taleo Recruiting(TM) With the World’s Largest Professional Network on the Internet
Now LinkedIn Members Can Submit Information From Their Profiles Faster When Applying for Jobs That Use Taleo’s Talent Management System
Recruiters Gain Instant Access to the Right Information at the Right Time by Seeing LinkedIn Profile Data Within Taleo, and Getting Access to Taleo’s Profile Information in One Click From LinkedIn Recruiter
HRchitect featured Taleo in our release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also includes them in our list of top Talent Acquisition Systems vendors that businesses should consider. Taleo appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on November 6, 2009. HRchitect attended the 2010 & 2011 TaleoWorld conference and HRchitect’s Matt Lafata, one of the industry’s leading talent management systems analysts, attended Taleo’s annual Sales and Services meeting in 2010 & 2011.
If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 14 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation. Simply put, do not invest in any kind of HR technology without consulting with the experts first. HRchitect is always available to help!
Taleo Corporation (NASDAQ: TLEO), the global leader of SaaS-based Talent Management solutions, and LinkedIn Corporation (NYSE: LNKD), the world’s largest professional network on the Internet, today announced two new integrated features that make it simpler and faster for professionals to apply for jobs at companies using Taleo’s talent management solutions, and for recruiters at those companies to hire the best talent.
Two new features work together to integrate Taleo Recruiting™ with LinkedIn functionality:
LinkedIn Profile Upload, which leverages Apply with LinkedIn technology, allows candidates to pull their LinkedIn profile content into a career website with the click of a button, rather than manually entering this data. This new tool cuts the time required to submit this information by allowing candidates to use their LinkedIn profile to populate work experience, education and contact information. After the profile information populates, candidates can modify or customize the information to align with the position they’re seeking. For Taleo customers, LinkedIn Profile Upload improves the ability to hire top talent by increasing the size of candidate pools by reducing the drop-off rates on an application form.
LinkedIn Preview gives any recruiter and manager the ability to view LinkedIn’s 120 million profiles directly through Taleo Recruiting. Taleo customers with a LinkedIn Recruiter account benefit from additional capabilities that make it easier for recruiters to collaborate with their colleagues, discover candidates, and track their progress during the application process. Firstly, they can quickly access the candidate’s full LinkedIn profile and see which candidates have already been viewed by their colleagues using Taleo. Secondly, users who have both Taleo Recruiting and LinkedIn Recruiter can now instantly access Taleo profile information from LinkedIn Recruiter and open the full Taleo profile with one click.
Because LinkedIn profiles frequently feature more current information than applicant data stored in a candidate database, the new integration capabilities make life easier for both candidates and recruiters by ensuring candidate data is up to date. This also helps companies pinpoint and engage passive candidates who, while not actively applying for jobs, maintain LinkedIn profiles that reveal they possess critical skills for hard-to-fill jobs.
“As more and more information is stored in the cloud, accessing that information to apply for a job should be much simpler than it has been to date as candidates have had to enter the same information again and again as they submit multiple applications,” said Jason Blessing, executive vice president of Products and Technology at Taleo. “At the same time, recruiters wanting to engage with LinkedIn members have had to toggle between LinkedIn and Taleo to learn more about their candidates. The latest release of Taleo Enterprise gives recruiters the right information at the right time while relieving both of these challenges.”
“Our integration with Taleo further reveals how professional networking can connect the best candidates with employers,” said David Hahn, vice president, product management, at LinkedIn. “We’re proud to work with Taleo to bring these capabilities to those LinkedIn members looking for their next job, and to the Taleo Enterprise customers looking to engage with them.”
Launching with the latest release of Taleo Enterprise, which was also announced today, LinkedIn Profile Upload and LinkedIn Preview are available from LinkedIn.

Achievement recognizes pace-setting growth in workforce management
Marc Moschetto, Vice President of Marketing, from WorkForce Software appeared on the HRchitect WebMingle on August 12, 2010. HRchitect’s Matt Lafata, one of the industry’s leading Talent Management Systems analysts, attended WorkForce Software’s Vision 2010 conference.
If you are looking for a new Talent Management System, or any HR system, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 14 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HR and Talent Management vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation.

WorkForce Software, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for organizations with complex labor policies and stringent compliance demands, announces that it has earned a spot on Inc.’s prestigious 500|5000 list for the fifth consecutive year.
An exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, the Inc. 500|5000 list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. WorkForce Software joins Spirit Airlines, Vizio, Honest Tea, and Dunkin Donuts, among other prominent brands featured on this year’s list.
Propelled by 98% growth over the last three years, WorkForce Software achieved rankings of #173 in the software industry and #2426 overall in the 2011 list. The company’s consistent growth has accelerated in 2011, as well, rising 61% over 2010 results through the first two quarters. Strong sales of its EmpCenter® workforce management suite, boosted by the release of an industry-leading absence management solution and record levels of client renewals and re-investments, contributed to the company’s recent success.
“There are few distinctions as widely read and regarded as Inc’s 500|5000 list, and it is quite an honor to be ranked among the fastest growing private businesses for a fifth year in a row,” noted Kevin Choksi, WorkForce Software’s President & CEO. “That we’ve been able to sustain rapid growth throughout our 12-year history is a testament to our employees’ investment in making our clients successful, to our clients’ extraordinary spirit of partnership, and to our strategy of delivering the most flexible and complete workforce management solutions on the market.”
In a stagnant economic environment, median growth rate of 2011 Inc. 500|5000 companies remains an impressive 94 percent. The companies on this year’s list report having created 350,000 jobs in the past three years, and aggregate revenue among the honorees reached $366 billion, up 14 percent from last year.
“Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward. Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is,” says Inc. magazine Editor Jane Berentson.
WorkForce Software’s span of multi-year growth also coincides with a dramatic transformation of the HR function. Historically a tactical department, HR is increasingly asked to deliver measurable results and competitive advantage for the organization. To perform this more strategic role, HR needs greater insight into the activities and effectiveness of their global workforce – a level of visibility only possible through best-in-class solutions such as WorkForce Software’s EmpCenter.
Gartner Research analysts Jim Holincheck and Thomas Otter observed this shift in a July 2011 report, noting that, “Since 2004, the focus for most HR organizations has shifted away from system of record applications (as embodied by core HR management system [HRMS] solutions) to systems of differentiation (embodied by talent management or workforce management applications).”
