Development Update - Week 2 of 2008

Our weekly updates this year will focus on three primary areas of concern to you, our readers: software development updates, research efforts, and finally general changes or updates. This is not a fixed list but provides considerable insight into what is going on at Staff IT Right©.

The new web application front end is being developed and is on track. Considerable progress has been made regarding the business logic and data store, to include a flexibility in the comparison of a candidate’s education and experience attributes with other candidates in the active queue. In fact, we’ve begun to add a new module that will provide an excellent transition from resume review to phone screen. And, the phone screen process is the topic of this weeks article in the Hiring Needs Objectivity series.

In last weeks update we mentioned that phone screens are a very important part of the hiring process and that it is important to be fair, or more appropriately to be objective. Several pieces of research have uncovered the need for some very important changes to our chosen direction in leveling the results obtained from the phone screening process. In fact, we planned on writing an article last week on phone screening, but research caused a hiccup, so to speak. Hopefully the article will be ready for this weeks installment. Cross your fingers!
