Module 1.4: The Future of HR

Most Important Criterion:

The business and HR focus on individuals.

Why?

Personally, this resonates with me because job searching intensifies as I approach graduation. In every webinar, sit-down, or interview with business leaders I’ve attended, the topic of employee talent always comes up. This is an important piece because I feel it opens the door to potential life-changing careers from an entry-level aspect. Many job listings are written up in a way that can be discouraging to applicants because of the complexity of the required/preferred job qualifications. There’s still a blurred line between entry-level and experienced job roles. Transparency between HR and business leaders should be reflected upon so on a company vacancy listing. The inability to differentiate business expectations can give a negative perception from outside potential employees and community stakeholders.

Least Important Criterion:

Choosing the correct HR department.

Why?

This should be an easy choice that requires less time to consider because a centralized or decentralized system is chosen based on how the business is organized. If the business is centralized, a single head of HR should handle the HR functions. If the business is decentralized, HR departments can be placed in every business unit. If the business is a combination of both, then the HR department should have a combined approach.

4.3 - Blog: Application Tracking System (ATS)

For this blog, I found an HR Manager job posting on LinkedIn and Indeed that was based in New York. One job posting (LinkedIn) was for an HR Manager role with Aspen Dental, and the other was with  What appealed to you about the job board you selected?  Take note of your experience while on the board. Was it easy to use? Overwhelming? Reflect on how you felt, the content, and the look and feel of the board. Note things that you deem favorable and less favorable. LinkedIn The Positive LinkedIn has a simple interface similar to that of other job boards, such as Monster and Indeed. I can efficiently utilize standard filters to search by experience level, location, company, job type, and industries.
