Times are changing. Hirewall’s hosted service will cease as of 20th January 2010

Today we are announcing an end to hosting of Hirewall online.   The expensive and unrealistic pricing of Microsoft hosting especially with a large database is not feasible for continuing investment to provide Hirewall free of charge.

I do not know what will become of Hirewall, that has not been decided and we are looking to evolve the business model.  It may be open sourced or the technology may be sold.  For current users I suggest getting the information you need out of Hirewall, you can still login and the cut off date is January 20th.

Its harder to hire in a down economy

Seth puts it right on.  There is more noise out there than ever and you need a system to help you hire effectively.

With a system free-ing your inbox you can focus on results over admin.

The Future of HR

Often we hear HR Professionals talk about the “future” of HR being social networking and twitter.

I think that the future of HR expands borders far beyond social media.  Most of all, the future of HR will be defined by how long an HR professional has in terms of time to perform pro-active actions.  If they are sifting through resumes manually and using  a system that doesnt serve them, there will be no innovation. If HR is playing phone tag with external recruiters they will become ineffective.

HR professionals need to free themselves from time compression to:

  • Pro-actively converse with employees
  • Transform workplace environments
  • Sculpt out career plan paths for employees
  • Expand  networks and interview/build a talent silo regardless of whether the company is hiring
  • Help employees meet the companies strategic objectives
  • Be a point of contact for help rather reaction
  • Transcend the boundaries of marketing and HR
  • Learn to sell their company to potential employees.

This could transform the often low image of HR into a supportive, pro-active machine that is an absolute necessary function for any company.
