Recruitment process solution using Odoo. Generally, most people think about enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions as systems that handle fulfillment processes.
As soon as an invoice is created for a sale a company makes, until such time that the product or service is rendered or delivered and up until the money from the payment arrives at the bank, the ERP solution has it tracked from end to end.
However, ERP solutions can also handle one of the most important, if not THE most important business processes that every organization performs: human resources (HR) and recruitment.
See, recruitment is a back-office process that just cannot be done away with due to the gravity of its importance to an organization’s success Your business is only as good as the talent it can attract and recruit – if only the process of recruitment was as easy as stating its importance.
Recruitment is of such importance that some of the world’s leading businesses are still having candidates go through a battery of arduous tasks and interviews just to get a chance to become part of their organization and contribute to its success.
Amazon is one of those giants whose vaunted recruitment process has gotten them to hire the best talents in their respective fields – it’s the literal key to their ongoing success. Let’s see why.
The Amazon Recruitment Process
Amazon is home to a recruitment process that puts potential candidates through a battery of five rounds of two-hour interviews.
That’s not yet even mentioning the fact that it is made expressly clear to aspirants that their application can be thrown out the window at any time a decision-maker at Amazon decides that the candidate is not fit for their corporate culture.
These so-called “bar raisers” belong to a department that is different from what the candidate is applying for, which lessens the pressure on them to make a hiring decision just because a requisition needs to be filled – which is quite literally the secret to Amazon’s success in attracting talent and getting them to stay.
That said, it goes without saying that Amazon files through thousands of candidates daily, and puts thousands more through their systems. That’s a lot of candidates, and that means that’s a boatload of paperwork to be chasing around. Heck, that’s a lot of work for all companies to keep track of, whether they are Amazon’s size or otherwise.
That creates a problem that requires a capable solution to deal with – and ERP solutions, in particular Odoo, in our estimation, is one solution that will make the gargantuan problem of sifting through thousands of profiles and hiring them makes Amazon’s vaunted hiring process look easy.
How can Odoo Help Streamline the HR Process?
As we all know by now, recruitment in itself is an essential business process that is centered around tedious administrative and follow-up work.
