PeopleAdmin Review
PeopleAdmin is being used by one department (Human Resources) to service every department in our organization. Our organization is made up of three sections that use the product, our University (all departments and colleges), our Research Corporation, and our Marshall Health (hospital affiliate employees). Our department posts all full-time and part-time benefit eligible positions on to our PeopleAdmin website. We require all interested applicants for any of the mentioned positions to apply through our PeopleAdmin website. No candidates may be considered without applying through it. PeopleAdmin addresses man business problems for our organization. Some of the most important issues it resolved for us were accurate record keeping of all recruitment and applications, it eliminated a lot of human error when it came to posting positions, closing positions, and reviewing applications, and also it has facilitated the application process for applicants allowing us to receive more applications.
- Accurately records all applications for a position, eliminating any human error on recording applications.
- Generates reports for the organization rather than requiring the employee to gather the data themselves.
- Facilitates the application process by only allowing applicants to submit fully completed applications.
- Allows departments to ask specific supplemental questions with pass/fail answers to facilitate the screening process.
- Serves as a library for all positions at the organization so that job descriptions, qualifications, and records are readily available.
- Continuously working at all times rather than only during open business hours (i.e. deadlines can be extended to midnight rather than 5 p.m. ET).
- Provides IT support at all time through the PeopleAdmin Community page, FAQ, and live staff that responds to any issues in an extremely timely fashion.
- Implementation training could have been more detailed and directed to a beginning user.
- Not being able to see incomplete applications while trying to help an applicant submit an application is difficult.
- Making the system more user friendly for beginning user.

Our daily users of PeopleAdmin include: Human Resources, Equity Programs, Finance, Budget, Deans, Directors, Academic Affairs, and Supervisors. On a day to day basis we also have employees from each department who serve on hiring/selection committees who use it as a reviewing tool for their applicants (search committees). These members vary by search and can include 5-15 members per each committee. As each position gets posted, a search committee that is different than any other is added in for each search. Our Human Resources staff uses the system the most for posting positions, collection of applications, reviewer of applications, performance assessments, position management and records, and as a report generator.

We have three staff members who directly support our PeopleAdmin system. This group is made up of our HRIS Manager, our HR Representative who oversees the website offering customer and user support, HR Manager who oversees the position management module, HR Director, and IT Manager who oversees any technical or interphase issues that may arise.

The single most important factor to our organization is how useful it would be and the price. Our organization is currently on a hiring freeze due to budget constraints so to be able to approve the purchase of PeopleAdmin we had to be 100% positive that this product would work best for our organization. We have been completely satisfied with our decision.
If we had to go through the evaluation and selection process of PeopleAdmin again, I would make sure our recruiting staff would have been part of the implementation and purchase phase. The users who are going to be working with the product every day are the ones who need to be most familiar with our package and instructions on using it.

It is being used across the whole organization. We use it to automoate our applicant tracking, position description, and performance reviews.
- Good options for applicant tracking. Overall the applicant tracking works really well on both the empoloyee and employer side.
- In 5.8, we have the position description just the way we like it. I know our class and compensation department really likes it.
- Product support has been better then most products.
- The 5.8 to 7.0 upgrade is brutal, and does not carry forward historical data.
- The performance management portion of PeopleAdmin has a bad end user experience in the organization. It is not easy and user friendly.
- PeopleAdmin in general is very awkward in your switching of different hats (employee, supervisor, employment, etc).
- Reporting in PeopleAdmin 5.8 is very hard and the structure of tables is strange
- The newer version does not contain the functionality with 5.8
- It does not integrate very well with our ERP system
- 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.
I came in after implementation at East Carolina University. A good reason to select them would be their experience in higher education. The applicant tracking module is quite good. Nowadays, other products might give you better reporting and ERP integration.

Most employees use it for performance reviews. HR and management uses the applicant tracking and position description modules.

HRIS supports it from a systems perspective. Being a SAAS system, it does not require a large support team.

- Applicant Tracking
- Position Creation
- Central reporting
- We need better integration with the main ERP (Banner HR)
