Career Site Benchmarking

2008-03-23T03:10:27Z

Nua is conducting a broad benchmarking of career sites -- across high tech, financial services and retail industries.

The objective is to produce for our client a broad but detailed analysis of what works and does not work well in the world of corporate career sites.
We will investigate new and innovative techniques alongside tried and tested approaches and produce a recommendation of how best to build and redesign a corporate career site.

HR Data Strategy

2008-02-15T18:52:00Z

Nua is engaged with a large Portland based financial services organization to help them create a HR data strategy.

Currently a myriad of HR tools and data repositories make it difficult for HR to produce the data and information the organization needs.

Nua will help the company identify the data it needs to communicate and will develop a business and technology roadmap to help them achieve these goals.
Nua will conduct sessions across all HR divisions, Finance and Operations to help identify key HR information needed and Nua will then help create and identify the key indicators and metrics which the organization should measure.
Additionally Nua will help evaluate the in-house technologies and market offerings to help determine the best way to deliver those metrics to HR and Operations.

Applicant Tracking Selection

2008-02-02T23:42:44Z

Nua is currently wrapping up the selection process for a new applicant tracking and onboarding system for a local grocery company.

Nua will facilitate selection, negotiation and contract discussions between client and vendor.

Additionally Nua will be responsible for creating an implementation timeline and plan.

National Retail Chain

2008-01-12T03:36:04Z

Nua is starting an engagement with a Seattle based outdoor retail chain to help design hiring processes and implement ADP's Virtual Edge at its Seattle HQ and its stores and distribution centers across the country.

Initial work will focus on designing processes to support primarily their HQ hiring and then focus on their retail stores. Currently all retail hiring is done at the store level and is completely paper-based.
