Why not continue with the shared drive of files and spreadsheet method?
It can grow pretty well to manage a pipeline of thousands of employees if the people involved care deeply enough about making it work.
- Yhippa 6y agoI'm definitely okay with this. The problem is your second point. Nobody seems to care deeply enough as you put it. I do because I want to make our process better. Appreciate the input.
- sushshshsh 6y agoCool, sorry if I seemed a bit curt originally :) What you've highlighted is a big challenge facing all organizations today. Behind the glitz of the latest SaaS offerings and trainings, business operations are just stuck in the mud in terms of employees really caring about the outcome of a business process. For some people, uploading 100 resumes from their local computer to a shared drive is easy and consistently repeatable with no human error. For others, it feels like a gigantic waste of time and can be inefficient. When you multiply this by hundreds of employees over many months of work, the SaaS solution (if it actually works) ends up being the more efficient and cost effective route. For me though, the choice is clear. I'd much rather the drive and a simple spreadsheet. It's like the simplicity and ubiquity of Whatsapp compared to the horrific mess that is Webex :)
