Employment applications to go paperless in October Starting October 18, applying for a job at Columbus State will be easier than ever. In order to leave the paper trail behind, Human Resources will be implementing a new online applicant tracking system utilizing the services of PeopleAdmin. With the new system, every step of the hiring process—including posting an opening, submitting an application and resume, screening applicants, and distributing applications for review—will be done electronically. The new system will streamline Human Resources processes by reducing applicant phone calls, eliminating the processing of applications received by mail or fax, and eliminating mailed responses to applicants. Julie VanWynsberghe, Human Resources representative, says, “The new system will help us better serve all applicants by providing quality, timely feedback and allowing them to go online to view the status of the positions for which they applied. It will also provide managers with greater flexibility by having an automated position approval process, as well as the ability to review applications and resumes electronically.” The PeopleAdmin system is currently used at 150 colleges and universities, including Ohio State University, the University of Arizona, Auburn University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Kentucky. It can provide customized job requisition forms and applications, and according to VanWynsberghe, “The system will allow Human Resources the ability to track EEO statistics much more effectively than we can now.” She continues, “Currently, our response rate is about 12 percent, and the new system reports an average response rate of 85 percent.” Users can look forward to additional information and training in the upcoming months. For more information, please contact your Human Resources representative. Employees invited to “Bowl for Kids” As a
