Running head: HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL Human Resource Management Proposal Christina Vernacchia BUS 340 Business Communications Instructor Jennifer Beaman May 14, 2018 1 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL 2 Proposal topic: Can software help a company get the most appropriate candidate during the selection process? Topic discussion In the human resource world, the current trends revolve around making it easier for companies to carry their human resources tasks. Some software has been introduced in a way to transform ways in which companies recruit as well as acquire talent. Regardless of the company size, it needs a cost-effective strategy for getting qualified candidates. The more time is spent recruiting, the more money being poured into the hiring and related processes. As such, a business can save and help to minimize this through the introduction of technology to the hiring efforts. Recruiting software and technology does not need to be complicated or expensive, but there are indeed affordable as well as user-friendly ones that a business can use. As such, this proposal will show various recruitment software in the market and their features.

The bank would be able to enjoy advance posting of jobs capabilities, the ability of pre-screening of employees as well as assessments, workflow automation and talent acquisition in an easier manner. There are a number of ways software recruiting technology will help bring improvement in the recruitment HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL process to get the appropriate candidate.
