Unlike management or strategy consulting firms that are adept at multi-projects, many ESNs have to place their employees on long-term projects. Therefore, when a project is launched, the business engineer generally needs to find a specific expert to position on the mission. It is not uncommon for him to have to recruit a consultant specifically for the needs of his client. That's where the Staffing software. Its role: to highlight the internal profiles and candidates most relevant to the mission criteria. In duo with The HR department, the business engineer therefore has, through staffing, a role to play in the recruitment and retention of consultants.
Let's start at the beginning: recruiting is the window of your business. To claim to retain your employees, start by offering a quality recruitment experience.
Artificial intelligence isn't just about sci-fi movies. In the real world, it makes life easier for recruiters. Les staffing software such as Napta, in particular, allow you to create a candidate pool by directly importing their resume or their LinkedIn profile. In a single internal tool, you centralize all the skills, projects and experiences of your candidates. But that's not all: AI is also used to comb through your comprehensive candidate database, identify key competencies, and even predict potential availability. Imagine: no need to spend hours reading resumes! The software helps you identify rare pearls, talents that will be a real asset for your team and that perfectly match your research, project by project. A real advantage when the speed and quality of your response to your customer's request is essential to guarantee the signing of a commercial deal.
To make mistakes is human, it's natural. However, a hiring error can cost a company dearly, not only financially, but also in terms of productivity and team morale (it is estimated The cost of a recruitment error at 15 to 25% of the candidate's gross annual salary outgoing). Les Staffing software, by optimizing the candidate selection process, minimizes these errors. They make it possible to accurately match the qualifications and skills of a candidate with the requirements of a position. No more risks of inadequate hiring, make way for relevant and effective recruitments, by project or over the long term.
Taking care of your employees is much more than offering them a state-of-the-art coffee machine or ergonomic seats. Above all, it is about helping them grow professionally and providing them with a balanced work environment. Let's see how a Staffing software can help you do that.
Les staffing software helps you to regularly monitor the skills of your employees, by identifying areas of expertise, desires to progress and areas that are less attractive for each of them. On Napta for example, competency mapping is integrated into the software and each consultant has a competency profile that they can complete based on a framework. This allows the business engineer to quickly make the link between the skills necessary to carry out a mission and the most relevant profiles. It is also an opportunity to update this map more regularly than once a year during annual interviews. Indeed, Napta allows consultants and their managers to conduct end-of-mission interviews and update the levels of expertise of the skills mobilized during the mission. It is therefore easy to see and take into account the impact of field work on the learning and evolution of the consultant.
Are your employees over-staffed in relation to their availability? Some employees suffer from long periods of intercontract ? These two situations can be a source of stress for your employees. Les staffing software allow you to maintain the perfect balance in your project management, by allocating the right collaborator to the right project at the right time. Thanks to intelligent planning, these tools help you to achieve the best allocation of your collaborators on your projects, ensuring that everyone has enough to do, without being overwhelmed. This is the key to keeping a motivated and effective team. And, of course, to keep the turnover rate as low as possible.
Isn't working on projects that drive us, what we all want? Imagine that the staffing software can help you create just that. Let's see how.
An employee who is motivated by the mission he carries out is a successful collaborator. Les staffing software contribute to increasing employee satisfaction by ensuring a better fit between the project and the consultant who occupies it. In addition, a satisfied employee is more likely to stay with the company, thus helping to reduce turnover.
For maximum productivity, position, directly via your Staffing tool, your employees on the missions to which they aspire, by identifying the missions that correspond to the interests of your employees. These tools allow you to search for missions by skills, by location and by sector and by offering them training.
Your tool also allows you to set up various training courses for your teams, thus promoting skills development and the career path.
