CRS Technologies, a leader in HR and HCM solution development and integration, has introduced the importance of technology with the functionality to automate and assist businesses to manage the entire HR lifecycle of their workforce, from ‘cradle to grave'.

To ensure decision makers are more aware of the benefits of a holistic HR & Payroll solution, CRS Technologies has created a virtual character called Simone whose journey into the working world will be told through Facebook.

This is an online diary and record of one person's quest to become an employee of a company called ‘Sky's the Limit' and the difference the CRS HR & Payroll integrated solution makes in the process.

The CRS Recruitment solution enables super users to keep comprehensive records of applicants, including demographics, biographical details, previous employment, qualifications, references, skills and personality profiles.

Its functionality provides users with a comprehensive guide to assist with the interview process and the recording of all pre-employment test results which safeguards compliance with the latest legislative requirements.

This technology will also assist with the creation of checklists, follow-up interviews and exit interviews.

CRS Technologies points out that a major benefit of the recruitment solution is that it documents applicants' information and progress through the selection process.

"Once the applicant is appointed, the master data captured in the Recruitment Module updates the other modules, which means there is no need to recapture the data.

End-to-end recruitment management

The solution covers all recruitment-related aspects like applicant tracking, interview guide, appointment of successful candidate, vacancy management and job offers (salary structuring).

"Using our technology solution, a business can view lists of vacancies by position in real-time and set up any number of letter templates. Our aim is to enhance critical aspects such as candidate screening, scheduling an interview and tracking applicant progress, as well as assessment. This is a strong, comprehensive real-time solution with rich functionality that will make a lasting difference to employment," says CRS Technologies General Manager Ian McAlister.

"Given that South Africa's unemployment figure now stands at just over twenty-six percent, technology that helps to streamline processes and keeps all procedures compliant can only help," adds McAlister.
