Our experienced Project Manager’s know how to structure, manage and deliver complex global projects.  We can help establish the initial project approach and timeline or manage the entire project lifecycle.  Even if you’re working with another Implementation Partner on the project, having an experienced resource to validate, interpret and manage internal deliverables can mean the difference between success and frustration.

Augmenting your internal project team with the right skills and experience not only helps you stay on track, but also brings an experienced perspective to drive toward solutions that work.  We have supplemented teams in the areas of testing (including script development and facilitation), content development, prescreening, Journeys, training, process mapping and design. 

100% of the respondents in our annual Oracle Recruiting Survey indicate they could have done a better job managing the change and deployment of the new system.  Many of them also referenced still being in recovery from not beginning to address the change aspects earlier.  We can drive the conversation around key change elements, how we communicate and how we account for rolling out new processes  and technologies.  We can develop a comprehensive training plan, build the materials and deliver the training in a way that is easily supported going forward.  Let us help you navigate the challenge of change so you can more quickly get to celebrating the success of your project.

 It’s far easier to have an experienced resource involved in the initial design versus needing to reopen design decisions at a later stage of the project.  We can provide experienced input and what we’ve made work elsewhere during the critical design phase of the project.  Having a client advocate who understands you existing framework allows us to better interpret and clarify details that might otherwise go unnoticed. 

Validating a new process or design with the actual business users early in the project can help drive the change and adoption across the organization.  Validating with the business can be in the form of ‘show and tell’ sessions, stakeholder interviews and demonstrations.  Proactively validating with the business users reduces the element of surprise and frustration later in the project..

A reliable mapping of the process design provides the schematic and direction for the delivery.  Ideally done in conjunction with the initial design, we have also worked to recreate requirements to support projects already in-flight.  The foundation of a strong project is the source document that everyone sees and agrees on the deliverables that can be validated as the project progresses.  Another project necessity is the capturing of decisions, issues, questions and risks.  Our project documentation library captures the key elements of the journey and records the decisions in an easy-to-use format.

Developing a Talent Vision extends beyond just the mix of technology and into the optimum experience you can deliver.  Perhaps you have highly sophisticated healthcare hiring needs or a large hourly population.  The ultimate experience for those audiences is quite different.  We can help define the ideal vision and a roadmap to get there.  You may be securely established with PeopleSoft as your HCM with no intention of a short-term change for recruiting.  Let us help create a roadmap and strategy to align with your organization’s HR tech strategy.

The complexity of the HR technology solutions acquired over time can be quite confusing, and expensive.  We create an inventory of technology and align it to spend so you can ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.  Gathering information on what’s working, what may be shelfware and what needs to be eliminated.  The inventory feeds into the Talent Vision to support great decision making.

Considering new technologies can be a time consuming and confusing exercise, not to mention exposing yourself to the sales barrage.  Leverage our proven RFP process and templates to gather requirements, evaluate solutions and make great decisions.  We can also do market scans, benchmarking and validate vendor solution claims to ensure you are truly upgrading providers return.

We can develop just about anything you can think of asking your recruiting systems.  From new reports to maintaining or optimizing existing queries, we can make sure they are accurate and running as they should.  We’ve also helped clean up report libraries to remove extraneous noise or clutter from the report users view. 

Combine multiple queries into a single dashboard with drill down capabilities for the easiest data presentation.  ThinkTalent has developed some of the most recognized Talent Dashboards in the Oracle ecosystem.  Let us help align your data output with business measurables to truly create a compelling story.

We prepare and deliver localized training for all of your reporting needs.  From one on one to a class of 40, we can educate your resources to improve their capabilities with the reporting tools in your environment.  We see organizations revisiting their Taleo reporting with the recent migration to OAS.  With the realization Taleo will continue to be in play for years to come, now is the time to invest in tool proficiency.  We are also conducting training for new and existing users of OTBI in Oracle Recruiting.  One of our most successful analytics projects involved the building of legacy analytics in the OTBI environment to guarantee no loss of data upon migration.  

We have extensive experience in planning and executing data archive projects.  We can tailor the approach to align with your data retention policies, storage destination and need to access the data in the future.  From pixel perfect application prints to reconstructing from the raw data files, all of it possible via the integration tool set and ThinkTalent resources.  Some have suggested all data should be brought into a new system, but the end result is a lot of unnecessary work and junk data in the new environment.  Let us help you develop a compliant strategy and deliver the data when and where you need it.

We can develop new integrations to support your business needs.  If you are a Taleo client looking to integrate with a new partner who doesn’t already have a standard integration in place, let’s chat to see what we can do.  If you’ve lost in-house expertise or need your integrations adjusted, we can help. 

We localize and deliver integration training for your internal resources.  From understanding the basics of the data movement tools to full scripting, ThinkTalent can provide the knowledge and guidance to develop your resources to support the integration needs of your organization.
