PeopleAdmin, a software solution used by the Human Resources Department, has significantly improved the hiring process within the organization. By implementing PeopleAdmin, the Employment Services unit has been able to expand their advertising reach and simplify the application process for applicants. This has resulted in an increased pool size, greater diversity in applicants, and expanded outreach for job postings. Users of PeopleAdmin across all colleges and departments have praised its ability to provide control over job postings, budget expenditures, and overall position management. The software's SelectSuite solution is utilized for all position types, including faculty, administrators, staff, students, and extra help. These features have enabled successful recruitment efforts by offering robust tools such as position management, applicant tracking, performance management, and onboarding. Furthermore, PeopleAdmin has simplified the application process by managing job postings and reducing the time it takes to make a posting and fill a position. The system is used campus-wide, excluding student hiring, and has significantly improved the efficiency of the approval process. Managers now have easy access to review applications without needing to physically come into the HR department or review paper files. Additionally, PeopleAdmin ensures accurate record-keeping of recruitment and applications while addressing various business problems such as eliminating human errors and facilitating the application process. It has also provided a more efficient way to store and access staff job descriptions while improving tracking and reporting of search processes. Overall, PeopleAdmin has successfully solved workflow issues, reduced recruiting fees and expenses related to copying and mailing documents, increased applicant traffic, reduced 'time to fill' positions significantly and proved beneficial to both HR departments and hiring managers.

Users recommend the following when using PeopleAdmin:

  1. It is recommended to take a walkthrough of the program and compare it with other options to understand its navigation and explore features.

  2. PeopleAdmin is highly suitable for growing HR offices or companies with multistage interviewing processes involving many people, as it helps in keeping applicants involved and updated throughout the process.

  3. Users anticipate improvements and new productions through the recent acquisition of PeopleAdmin by another company working with K-12 schools, especially for both K-12 and higher education sectors.

Working for the California State system we are transitioning to a systemwide common HR system and are all being made to move to a common system that is NOT PeopleAdmin. The renewal of PA will occur until we are forced through the implementation of the new systemwide CHRS.

We are satisfied with this product and the support provided by PeopleAdmin. At this time we do not have a need or a reason to change or try to reinvent the wheel with another company. The functionality works and we have customized features to our needs, when changes or revisions are necessary PeopleAdmin is always helpful in assisting us with the best solution.

Because we have 14 years of information in this system with no real good way to get the information out in a usable format, we are likely to upgrade to the newest version this year. I understand that this version is far better than it's previous 5.8 release, which they are no longer investing in. It also integrates with Ellucian which is important to us.

We are evaluating our options as it relates to PeopleAdmin. We are likely to renew as we can not find another product that gives us the functionality we have with PeopleAdmin 5.8 in the area of Position Description. Outside of that, we would likely be close to finding another product solution.

Despite its reporting inadequacies, our users were used to PeopleAdmin and they liked the product. Most are reticent to switch major software programs due to data conversion and lack of continuity fears. Given that 7.6 is completely different on the back end and that data cannot be merged from version 5.8 to 7.6, these fears may have been unfounded.

It works for what we need it to and is great for higher education. Since applicants apply to multiple jobs on campus, it is great for applicants to store and update information and keep track of the positions that they have applied to and see the status of their applications. It also allows for applicants to upload resumes easily.

I am satisfied with PeopleAdmin, and I feel it helps our overall process. If I were to start my own business and needed help hiring people I would use PeopleAdmin. Overall, it is an easy and great tool. Being able to learn it quickly shows that it is an easy tool to use.

It would not be worth the time and money to move to a new product. I do wish it had a stronger "share jobs" capability, having a tool integrated with social channels, including linkedin would be nice but it's not something that's taking the time out of my day to look at implementing a new software. I feel that PeopleAdmin's customer service is impeccable, I know the input I share with them is taken in consideration for future releases.
