HRS developing a new approach
to recruit employees

From Human Resource Services
In an effort to keep ITD competitive within the labor market it is imperative the department use tools that can increase exposure to potential job applicants. The Human Resources office is in the early stages of developing a new approach to recruiting employees for the department.

HRS recently implemented an all-employee e-mail distribution that is generated each time a job announcement is made. The notification process is being used on a pilot basis and will be evaluated continually to determine its effectiveness. The intent is to help employees find job opportunities that are aligned with their career path and involve them in forwarding job information to friends and family.

The HRS staff said most ITD employees know someone who might be a great fit for a job within the department. Involving ITD’s talented employees in the process will allow more contact with potential job applicants and increase the possibility of more successful hiring. With this new process, HRS hopes to continue providing information that helps both employees and potential job applicants fulfill their career goals.

HRS will continue to expand the ITD recruiting program in the next few months. Employees soon will see a new careers@ITD logo on the front page of the ITD Web site, along with an updated Human Resource Services page that provides job opportunity information at a glance.

Human Resource Services also will explore other ideas to focus attention on job opportunities. Employees are invited to share thoughts and provide feedback to HRS about the new notification process or make suggestions on how to improve the information exchange.

“It is our desire to have an effective strategy that will help ITD maintain our excellent employee talent, develop a successful recruiting program and expand our outreach to attract the best talent possible,” the HRS staff explains.
