Automated candidate screening

Hi all,Has anyone implemented (successfully) the automated candidate screening feature?Can you share some tips and tricks?I tested this in another ATS and switched it off because some of the profiles that were deemed non-matching were interesting upon review by a recruiter.Thanks,Ruben

Absence workflows – where to start

When we were building our Personio system, absence workflows were certainly an interesting part of the process. We had 4 entities, 3 with their own project/ resourcing offices and each with their own process and reasons behind it. Here are my top tips for making those absence workflows as easy as possible! Know your processes I spent time getting to know each entity's process but also the reasons behind their process. In some, the project office had to go first to ensure that there were no projects planned for that time. In others, the head of department needed to go first to ensure there were no scheduling conflicts and in some others, they only needed supervisor approval (if only they were all that simple!). Once you truly know the process and the reasons behind it, you’ll have the best understanding of how to start building. Consider using automations We have a few types of leave that affect pay (unpaid, maternity, AWOL), and at first when building our system we had payroll as a

Best Practice - Reminders

Dear community,As a result of our last poll, we want to share with all of you some best practices for reminders! In Personio, you can set up different kinds of reminders. You can set up reminders for specific employee roles, personal reminders, or reminders linked to a specific employee. Reminders for specific Employee Roles: You can add them for all Date type attributes via the employee roles. You can choose between a Reminder (automated expiration) or a Task (no expiration).Some examples of how you can use reminders for roles are: Reminder to All Employees role > Birthday of all employees every year on that day. Reminder to HR Manager role > Probation period end date of all employees 6 weeks before Reminder to HR Manager role > Hire date of all employees 1 week before Reminder to Supervisor Role > Next absence of employees directly reporting to me 1 day before. If you select the option Task (no expiration), the reminder is displayed on the dashboard until you

Best practice for using Personio across multiple countries

Hi there, We recently rolled out Personio in our HQ and are looking at options to use it in our country offices - 3500 staff across around 15 countries. Can anyone share their set-up or tips for managing across multiple locations? Areas I’m particularly interested in are:Do you have all countries managed in one Personio account or are they decentralised?If you manage through one, do the local HR teams modify the settings etc or is that all managed at your HQ?Have you managed to restrict access for your local HR users so they can’t accidentally modify the settings for everyone?! I’d really welcome advice here as I’m trying to visualise how it would all work. Would we be creating a monster if we had everyone in the one instance?!

📄 How Personio's own HR Team uses the Documents functionalityBest Practise

Dear Community,Have you ever wondered how Personio's HR team actually uses their own tool?I work in Personio's HR team and today I am going to explain to you how exactly we use the Documents section in Personio and how it supports our HR team, as it has become an essential part of our daily work. The administration of documentsWe have set up different categories to divide up the various documents in a meaningful way. This makes it easier for us and our employees to keep an overview and to quickly find all the necessary data.The biggest advantage of the document area in Personio for us is the elimination of unnecessary letters or e-mails. This means that we upload all employees' pay slips and social security certificates to their personal profile. This way, each employee can access all monthly and annual statements at any time. It also saves us costs and capacity, AND it's better for the environment - at least compared to printing and sending them by mail.You can learn more about Docume

⏰ Our approach to smart interview scheduling with CronofyBest Practice

Dear Community,Finding new talent for an open position can be quite time consuming and requires careful organization. Especially the timing of the interviews with your own preferences and those of the applicants aligned, often seems to be a challenge. 💡 For this, we found a suitable solution: At the beginning of 2022, we started implementing Cronofy in Personio, an intelligent planning platform to support the planning process for job interviews.Cronofy is a Personio integration that is directly accessible from the "Interview" tab in the candidate profile of our ATS. It is connected to the Google calendar, which allows our candidates to directly select a date and time for an interview. In advance, we as the Talent Acquisition Team at Personio can individually set specific working days and time slots that are most suitable for a first interview. So how does this work?As soon as we want to invite a candidate for a first interview, we navigate to the "Interview" tab in Personio and selec

🏷 This is how our Talent Acquisition Team uses "Tags"Best Practice

Dear Community,we all have one or the other Personio hack to make our workday a bit more efficient and organized. One of them is exactly what we use as a Talent Acquisition team: Tags! They are real lifesavers when it comes to organizing candidate profiles in a simple and clear way. But how exactly do you set Tags and what are their main purposes?How it works: Tags can be found at the top of every candidate profile in the Personio recruiting section. After clicking the "Add Tag" icon, a drop-down list with all available options will appear first. Now you can easily select the appropriate Tag for the candidate profile. After setting your Tags, you're probably wondering what it's for and what it will do for you. For us as a Talent Acquisition Team, setting Tags has 3 main benefits: 1. Highlight informationTags are always very visible, as they are located directly under a candidate's name and profile overview. This means no matter what section we're working in, whether it's the Interv

💾 How Personio's own HR team manages employee data in Personiobest practice

Dear Community, today I'm sharing with you another example of how we use our own tool at Personio.As an HR professional I know how hard it can be to manage all of the employee data that is needed for a company of any size, with the continuous need to track and update data for each employee. One of the benefits of using Personio as our HRIS tool is the easily accessible and accurate data storage it provides. As we grow as a company Personio’s functionality continues to benefit us in the form of accurate data storage. Having this all in one system makes my life a lot easier. In Personio, each employee profile can store over 200 different attributes of information about each employee.Here is an excerpt of the info we store in the employee profiles: 🎉 A few standard attributes like address, birthday, team, cost center, bank details, etc. 🛼 Also a public section with "personal" info about languages spoken, hobbies, holiday destinations, and favorite places in the cities where our office

Use case: Workaround for "one on one" notes recording and tracking

Hi Community 👋 I initially shared this as a workaround to a fellow Personio Community member in a comment of an existing post and @Daniele suggested it might be more visible as an individual post in case others find it useful. So here it is :)The described steps below cover the topic on how to enter something like "Supervisor notes" for regular one on ones, additional comments etc. with custom access to all relevant stakeholders (supervisor, HR, employee etc) while also having the historical records for past enties via the "Custom reports" sharing option. 1. In employee profile we create a section for supervisor notes. This section can contain text boxes, date when the note is written, the name of the person who wrote it, etc. 2. Edit access to this section is given to the supervisor only for example, this should be customized through roles. For any others you feel are needed like HR or the employee you can assign view rights or, if you choose so, hide it completely. 3. Supervi
