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.

  • This product has increased our ability to post jobs faster and for repeat applicants to submit applications and for new applicants to build appliacations and submit them.
  • PeopleAdmin saving applicant data and documents in their system is a real timesaver. This allows applicants to upload documents and know they will be there, secure when they return for another position.
  • PA allows us to better serve our committee's and quickly provide them with applicants so that the process can move faster and we can get positions filled faster. It saves manpower overall in the Employment Services unit.

  • The system allows us to move our position descriptions quickly into job posting and begin to compile applicants. The links posting on each posting help us to get jobs listed on external website with ease.
  • We can better serve our applicants who are potential employees due to the overall ease of the system and the ability to quickly analyze any issues they may encounter when applying.
  • The partnership with an advertising company implemented by PeopleAdmin has added ease to finding the right places to advertise and a way to track the applicant traffic provided through each place.

  • Better customer service to hiring departments, search committees, and applicants.
  • Faster turnaround time for applicants.
  • Faster turnaround time for hiring departments.

  • It has reduced our "time to post" by at least 3 days due to the electronic approval process.
  • It has reduced our "time to fill" significantly by increasing our exposure to applicants resulting in more applicants in a shorter time. Due to being able to ask candidates disqualifying questions, it has reduced the screening time necessary of recruiters. The electronic routing of the hire form has also reduced the process by at least 3 days as well.
  • Applicants and managers alike can see the status of the postings at all time which reduces phone calls.
  • There are system generated emails that are sent to applicants at different points which reduces fees associated with phone calls and mailings.

  • Much higher efficency in Applicant Tracking
  • Performance Management is still a return on investment over the paper driven process before it. If your choice is paper or PeopleAdmin in this area...it's still a positive ROI.
  • We have a good ROI in Position Description 5.8. The experience is so good in this area, we can not migrate to another product, or even to PeopleAdmin 7.0.
  • On a negative ROI, reporting is a lot of work out of PeopleAdmin. This product will confound your report writers with the chaotic tables they have.
  • Another negative is much double entry between PeopleAdmin and our ERP system. Integration options are not easy.

  • Better customer service. Human Resources' customers include the recruits and candidates. Candidates and recruits find PeopleAdmin very usable and easy to use.
  • Increased employee efficiency. Especially for non-HR hiring personnel, PeopleAdmin increases the efficiency of hiring managers.

  • PeopleAdmin has helped with improving customer service
  • Efficiency when responding to applicants and internal customers
  • Upgrade had too many snags and was not as smooth of a transition as we thought it would be
  • Less paperwork as it is all stored in the system.
  • Need a way to be able to access job descriptions in a word document or be able to track changes to job description.

  • A positive impact would be the increase of customer service. Our department can complete postings and hiring within a timely fashion.
  • I honestly can not see a negative impact for People Admin unless you have employees who do not want change and enjoy pushing paper.
