The hosted, web-based solution is priced well for its offerings, and eliminates the need for a big upfront investment and huge installation costs.

The software promises to be a more efficient way to administer employee verifications and eliminate administrative burdens, making it easier for hiring managers and recruiters to concentrate on finding their best fit candidates for any position they have open.
Who Should Use This Product
Many people throughout an organization can benefit from this software. While human resources and recruiters will probably be working closely with this software, there may be other team members involved as well. Tasks like performing a background check, verifying employment history, performing a criminal check, or automating the hiring process can all be taken care of with this software, and anyone taking on these responsibilities manually in the office should find this product helpful.
Applicant Tracking Features
Ceridian’s Recruiting Solutions’ “recruiting automation” services leverages the power of the Internet to provide 24/7 access and automatic data processing for more efficient collection, tracking and analysis. With their online database and automated services, managers have the opportunity to view and track their possible job candidates all over the web. While some other providers have extensive tools and modules dedicated to tracking applicants, from initial contact to scheduling interviews, with the ability to see progress and completion rates of some applicants, Ceridian’s software tracks at the basic level.
Reporting Features
Reporting features are very important to any job or industry, especially when compiling information about your hiring practices. While there are no reporting features dedicated solely to the recruitment effort in this software system, there are extensive reporting capabilities within the function dealing with compliance of EEOE and and OFCCP regulations. Many other applicant tracking companies have software capabilities that allow managers to develop their own reports, or even to create standard reports based on hiring data like skills, applicant gender, location of candidates, and more, but Ceridian’s reporting function is only available in terms of compliance.
Job Posting Features
Creating and writing up job descriptions can be tough, especially when you have so much else on the to-do list. With Ceridian, you can have the ability to make things easier on human resources staff by easily posting job availabilities to web job boards. The software system will help you post open positions to the most popular web job boards to maximize your exposure to potential hires. This feature is available through their “recruitment automation” services, so managers will not even have to worry about doing the time-intensive and tedious work of manually writing job descriptions and posting on individual job boards and recruiting websites.
Interview and Offer Features
The “employment screening” section of Ceridian’s software provides information on employment, education and even verifies certifications of prospective candidates. It also has the ability to do thorough background checks, provide information from the Department of Motor Vehicles, search national and state level criminal records to provide you reassurance, and provide consumer credit reports from the major credit agencies. This can all be helpful when determining which candidates to invite in for an interview and also during the time when you are comparing candidates in order to make a decision on any offers. As far as managing and organizing information for interviews or offers, Ceridian comes up a bit short in comparison to other companies whose software has these management tools built right in for quick and easy access to an applicant’s status in the hiring process.
Compliance Features
Compliance is extremely important in every department of a company, and it often has a backbone with and starts in the human resources’ recruiting and hiring strategies. With so many standards and regulations to follow when taking on new employees, it is often hard to manage. Maintaining compliance with EEOC and OFCCP regulations, Ceridian keeps your practices up-to-date with the latest legislation updates. They also eliminate the number of hours you spend preparing those tedious compliance reports with tools that help compile information quickly and easily. This is a big help for a lot of human resources staff members, and can definitely reduce the amount of time dedicated to making sure all requirements are met.
Other Features
Ceridian also has a system called recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) that can make finding and hiring the right people for your organization simple and manageable. Basically, Ceridian “moves into” your office, becoming your recruiting department and taking on all of the tedious and time-heavy tasks. Ceridian manages all of the administrative tasks of recruiting in addition to the processes, so your staff can concentrate on finding the best match for an open position without having to worry about things like data entry or profile creation. They can help with many tasks, like screening candidates, coordinating manager interviews, or even closing requisitions, leaving recruiters and hiring managers to make the important decisions and concentrate on the details.
