Exclusive Interview: Ricker's Streamlines HR Management with New Software
In a concerted effort to modernize human resources (HR) operations, the Charleston, S.C.-based Ricker Oil Co. turned to a PeopleMatter Hire, a software platform to automate onboarding tasks such as background checks, applicant tracking, hiring assessments and onboarding paperwork.
"We have been on an applicant tracking system with separate software packages so we are excited about this next generation of technology that can capture all data and integrates with our current operating system," said Ricker’s director of human resources, Karen Mitchener.
Ricker’s president, Quinn Ricker, explained after a month long research and development period, the North Charleston, S.C.-based PeopleMatter Hire was selected for its HR technology suite of services, including ease-of-use online applications, credit checks, electronic signature capture, and employee management through virtual, social media applications. Currently in its beta stage with Rickers, the first test run is scheduled for the second week of January where the "nuts and bolts" of the platform will be evaluated followed by the integration of Ricker’s existing four HR software packages.
