What is symplr Talent Management Solutions?

With the addition of HealthcareSource, symplr offers solutions to improve hiring speed, staff engagement, team skillsets, and employee retention while reducing premium labor spend. When combined with symplr’s existing workforce management solutions and credentialing capabilities, the combined end-to-end Patient Centered Workforce® solution aims to make it easier for healthcare organizations to hire, keep, optimize, and grow their workforce.

symplr Talent Management Solutions (formerly HealthcareSource)

symplr states they recognize how recruiters, hiring managers, learning and development professionals, and compensation specialists must work together to hire and develop high-performing teams and leaders in healthcare. symplr Talent supports the following initiatives:

Talent Acquisition

Use configurable, data-driven recruitment marketing techniques to attract, engage and build relationships with highly qualified talent in your area.
Match applicants’ work preferences with job openings so your team can focus on jobs with high-volume openings and low availability of qualified talent.
Communicate and coordinate tasks more effectively among stakeholders, including applicants, recruiters, and hiring managers.
Quickly fill positions by posting job openings to our healthcare-focused Job Board (previously online bulletin board), making it easy for prospective employees to apply for those posted jobs.
Reduce new-hire turnover by predicting applicants’ likelihood for job success, service excellence, and long-term retention.

Employee Performance

Create a high-performance culture through ongoing coaching, feedback, and professional development.
Engage and inspire employees to achieve their objectives.
Create employee development plans using scientifically validated assessment techniques.
Plan for tomorrow by identifying your potential leaders today.

Learning & Development

Build resilience by putting employee development at the core of the workforce planning strategy.
Embrace adaptive educational learning techniques to reduce reliance on classrooms and to better engage employees with online instruction of healthcare education and staff training tools like Minute Mandatories®
Proactively close skills gaps by creating a culture of continuous learning, track skill progression, and decrease time to competency.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Position Manager is used across our organization as our applicant tracking system. It houses our applicants into a central place for all of our locations.

Pros

I feel they do implementation well.
They have great vendors they work with.
They are reasonably priced.

Cons

The system needs to be updated. It's simple and easy to use, but it is way outdated.
Roll out upgrades frequently and more timely.
Need calendar integration, social media integrations, CRM to application.

Likelihood to Recommend

If an organization is looking for a basic online solution for applicant tracking - this would be good for them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently have implemented Position Manager for job requisitions and applicant tracking across the organization. We also have Performance Manager also implemented across the organization. In Performance Manager we have completed 4 years of Leadership Common Review date appraisals and we are going into our 2nd year of Staff Common Review date appraisals. We are also implementing job descriptions across the organization and are about 60% completed on those.

We are still on Position Manager 10 and any new clients would be on Position Manager 11 and I know there are a lot of improvements in version 11 such as a better approval process for job requisitions.

Pros

Integration and file feeds with our core HRIS System, Lawson, is one of the biggest strengths of both products. Entering data once is a big time saver for an organization with close to 10,000 employees.
User friendly and intuitive interface makes this system easy to use with minimal training. During our initial roll transition we did have in person training but going forward for new employees, training documents on our HR Intranet site have been working well.
Reporting needs are met in both systems. Performance Manager has a custom reporting interface that allows you to create reports as needed. Position Manager has many built in reports and support will write custom reports as needed.
HealthcareSource developers are very open to suggestions from their clients on ways to enhance their products and new versions come out quarterly.
Unlike other software vendors I have used in the past, system changes seem to be very sell tested and put through the QA process before being released to clients.
There are a lot of custom settings that allow you to set the system the way you want in Position Manager. You can change the application and requisition to suit your needs.

Cons

I really like their support software - you can submit help requests by phone, email or a support portal. If it's an easy fix, the fix and communication is quick but when the support needs to move to an higher tier, communication can be slow and although I have no doubt support is working on it, communication could be better to let us know what is going on.
They do seem to be getting better about this, but when a new release is coming out and the changes are minor we often get the release notes 1-2 days before the system is updated. Due to varying work schedules, I would like to see the release notes a few weeks in advance. To their credit, the last release which had a few more major changes like a new navigation bar, they did give us a months notice.
I know this may be rare of the SAAS world, but I would really rave about the software if I had full custom reporting capability with full read-only database access so I could combine their data with my HRIS data in one report.

Likelihood to Recommend

If their HRIS system holds all their data - employees, supervisors, positions then HealthcareSource can really take advantage of that data and save you a lot of time. We looked at a lot of systems and one of our needs was both Applicant Tracking and Performance Management and these systems work very well together. Other systems we looked at didn't have all our most needed features - we needed a vendor that could do both, integrate with our HRIS, report back data in a customizable fashion, and be user friendly. Some systems listed the features but during the demo and product reference calls we found they didn't perform as advertised. Some had reporting but the reporting was missing key data or didn't export in a data friendly manner. We have found HealthcareSource to be not only "pretty" - aka user friendly/non-cluttered but also had the engine under the hood as well that met our data analyst needs.

Position Manager is being used throughout the organization for the whole recruiting process. Our applicant submits an application online. The application gets to the recruiters end on PM any application/interview updates/ notes/ assignments etc are entered on that application. Hiring managers have access to post jobs etc

Pros

keeping track of applicants
navigation
access to resume, CV, etc is easy

Cons

navigation; not always user friendly or insightful

Likelihood to Recommend

For recruiters and hiring managers, HealthcareSource Position Manager is best, especially when they have a lot of applicants. They can take a quick look at the little number that ranges from 0 - 100 telling them how much this person's experience relates to the position in question

HealthcareSource offers the products we need to make our organization the best it can be

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The healthcare organization I work for uses Performance Manager offered by HealthcareSource. It is used by every employee in the organization and has had a significant positive impact on employee's involvement in their annual appraisals, goal setting and communication with their supervisors. This program is very user friendly and has allowed our employees to engage in their career and more actively participate in their future with the organization. In the long run we see this lowering turnover rates, increasing productivity and allowing us in HR to see the areas we need to focus on for training purposes (i.e. communication, job skills, trust in leadership).

Pros

When any company implements a new program they have specific needs that they want customized for them. Healthcare source did a great job providing excellent customer service to our HR and IT professionals working behind the scenes to help us maximize the programs potential at our organization. They did not limit us to any standard uses or prohibit us from reaching our internal goals. Some examples include specialized reports, data uploads of employee data and time frames for our annual reviews.
They provided us with training and retraining and more training on using the system. This included training new members of our team when we had turnover in HR and inviting us to conferences and webcasts regularly.
The presentation of the software was very appealing and that may seem small but it really helps appeal to the employees that use it for their reviews.

Cons

The communication between our HR IS system and their platform was cumbersome, this is always a tough spot to work with when trying to get two systems to communicate without having to rework the data. We did reach a point of success and it was due to the work on both sides.
I would have liked to have seen the way other healthcare organizations used the system.
It took a long time to get a chance to meet some of the team members from HealthcareSource due to our locations and once we did have a face to face meeting I felt much more connected with the team.

Likelihood to Recommend

In order to be successful in the implementation and progress of PerformanceManager, the organization needs to dedicate internal team members to be trained and communicate with the HealthcareSource team. While they are very supportive, it is essential to have that internal team working with employees and communicating inquires and questions back to HealthcareSource when needed.
