UB’s new recruitment management system is expected to go live January 29th, 2007. Plans to link from UB’s main web page, UB Business and MyUB are in progress. The project is very close to completion, with only one last round of changes left to be done by the vendor, PeopleAdmin. PeopleAdmin is adding a set of qualifying questions that will pre-screen applicants. Training on the system is scheduled to begin during the week of January 16th, and an applicant tutorial is expected to be completed within a similar timeframe. HR will provide additional training sessions on as as needed basis.

PeopleAdmin has been contracted for implementation. Campus communications are under development for the rollout phase, expected to begin in early 2007.

The Recruitment Management System will be launched in January and ePTF has been piloted to five units who will change over completely from the Renaissance system by the end of this year.

The Recruitment Management System team is working with PeopleAdmin to meet the January 2007 deadline, when the new recruitment tool is expected to be piloted at UB. The training materials for the RMS system have recently arrived and train-the-trainer planning is being considered.

The software vendor contract with PeopleAdmin has been signed and the implementation team is in place. A site visit occurred on July 12 and 13 where PeopleAdmin representatives provided training and startup information to the implementation team. The position description and applicant tracking system implementation questionnaires have been completed and provided to the vendor. The project team created a mock-up of the product website, and data for position description module was provided to the vendor. Finally, a policy and procedure committee was formed which is currently reviewing all state and federal affirmative action rules and regulations.
