FEBRUARY 2020HR TECH OUTLOOK8FROM NEW HIRE TO SUCCESSION PLANNING: Greg Glass, Senior VP of Human Resources, Kforce [NASDAQ:KFRC]ByIn the past, IT and HR were rarely functions you talked about in the same sentence. But in my years of HR experience and current role of Senior VP of Human Resources at Kforce, I've learned that they should be combined often if you want to foster a great employee experience. Using the right tools throughout an employee's lifecycle can create an environment where employees are both happy and productive. Our team uses technology to ensure employees are right for the company, in the role best suited to them and positioned to grow professionally.At the beginning of a candidate's lifecycle, as part of the selection process, we ask each candidate to complete a Talent Analytics assessment. While there are different personalities that can be successful in a role, we've learned to identify profiles that indicate higher percentages of success and satisfaction for both the candidate and the firm. Especially in roles like sales and recruitment where we have a lot of data to benchmark against, we get a pretty clear picture on whether or not a candidate will thrive in the position. We can also use the data to see where the candidate fits within the existing dynamics on their team or with their leader. Granted it's just one piece of the puzzle when hiring, but it is another important piece.TOOLS TO ENSURE EMPLOYEES ARE RIGHT FOR THE COMPANY, RIGHT FOR THE ROLE AND POSITIONED TO GROWIn MyOpinionGreg Glass
