Ray Schreyer HR Technology Conference Las Vegas, NV 2014
Thesis: Majority of Issues “Baked in The Cake” before contract signed Key Themes: • HR not understanding the technology ecosystem • Not understanding the tech industry’s future direction • Responding to Industry Hype • Price vs. Cost Pressures • HiPPO
HiPPO Highest Paid Persons Opinion
Before Signing Contract: • Build the best diverse team of individuals: • HR & Tech • Experience in corporate & industry • Ecosystem knowledge • Must be Respected by Line • Respect gives latitude to invest & choose solutions • Respect lessens hype-cycle fire-drills • Rely of Industry colleagues for advice & counsel • For Vendors: Trust, but verify… i.e. research, research, research • Frontstage • Backstage • Stay abreast of industry developments & emerging market trends • Know when to jump vs. wait on a new tech. solution….

workhere.in Building HR Solutions Two Challenges in the past year: How do you get 50 governments to agree on how to do anything? How do you bring a new hr tech product to market in 90 days or less?
50 Governments workhere.in • Worked for DirectEmployers. We ran the National Labor Exchange. • 2013: New regulations require employers to prove they delivered jobs to State Workforce agencies. • Needed a way to get receipts from all 50 US Workforce Agencies. • Difficulty:50 governments and 28 different systems. • We had 60 days to go live.
workhere.in New Product • Building for web & mobile. • Need way to store position openings and candidate profiles. • Compatibility critical to product success. • Need to have MVP quickly to secure funding. • Goal: 90 days.
Solution: Standards workhere.in Instead of reinventing the wheel, I went with a standard one. In both cases, the entire project was completed inside what would normally be the “requirements gathering” phase. In business, Done > Wishful Thinking
50 Governments workhere.in • HR-XML 3.2 Recruiting • Government LOVES XML • No arguments about what to call fields • No meetings about “taxonomies” • Had many states online in 60 days • Bonus: Often didn’t require developers
Starting Up Quickly workhere.in • HROS Lightweight JSON Standard • Works with web • Reduced database design from weeks… … to about 10 minutes. • Prototype was up in days. • Much more robust solution than we would have had. • We’re in business :) • Bonus: compatibility

STANDARD Vs custom integrations STANDARD CUSTOM VS Expedites requirements gathering due to a predetermined set of standards Lack of agreed upon standards complicates the process Allows for business teams to operate without dependencies on development Depends on development resources to write code for every integration REQUIREMENTS MAINTENANCE QA & UAT RELEASES RESOURCES Provides flexibility to react to changing business requirements Subject to strict development guidelines which makes it tough to quickly react to changing business requirements Ongoing maintenance reaps the same benefits as initial rollouts Same constraints and dependencies exist when changes need to be made after go-live Focus on innovative new features and frameworks Cycles and resources dedicated to custom code maintenance
