(1888PressRelease) September 03, 2011 - MCH is a data company that provides databases for institutions such as healthcare, education, religion and government. They had a large, manual, and time-consuming recruiting process. In addition, since they have government contracts, it was critical to fully comply with affirmative actions requirements. Brining on an online applicant tracking system has helped their HR department significantly.

Brenda Viets is the HR Director at MCH and is responsible for selecting their new applicant tracking system. Ms. Viets oversees the HR Committee which works with the key HR responsibilities including benefits, employee morale issues, and maintaining all of the company's hiring processes. "Part of my role is to maintain all of our hiring processes. I've been doing this for a couple of years as the HR director, but it's been kind of crazy because we've never had an online application. People would email and request them and I would have to send over PDFs all the time and it just got to be a real hassle. So, I searched for a product and found ApplicantStack and started using it. We just really needed to get that online application to our website so we could see if it would make a difference."

According to Ms. Viets, automating and tracking the hiring process with ApplicantStack has contributed to several important improvements. "It's been very, very helpful and it saves me a LOT of time. And our applicant count is definitely up. Now, to be honest, I'm not sure it's all due to having the online application, because with the economy the way it is I would expect to have more applicants, so it's hard to measure. But my thought is that if you make it easier for people to apply you're going to get more applicants. So, I think some of the increase is due to having the online application."

In addition to increasing operational efficiency, the online recruiting software has helped comply with government regulations. Ms. Viets adds, "We have affirmative action requirements because we have a government contract, and in the beginning we had to even out the number our applications. So, I would have to scan in an application for everyone who applied and send it to them. In time it got a little better and I would just save a PDF of the application on my desktop and I would send it out per request, but I still had to send it out every time somebody wanted an application. Now, with ApplicantStack we post everything for IT, Sales, Marketing and Research and it is working great.

The HR and recruiting software system has also simplified the posting of jobs to the company's own website as well as important online job boards such as LinkedIn, Craigslist, Monster, and CareerBuilder. They also post to KCBMA, which is a direct marketing association, as well as to colleges and universities. This allows far greater visibility and promotion of the open positions while saving time reducing the resources required to track and manage the hiring process.
