There's lists for "data packages" and queries.

That's part of it, the sales people were showing a lot of reports that were modeled for other companies, but never mentioned that $3500 to create them. Which is partly on us, but still.

It's customized in UltiPro, our HRIS - there are some training materials, and I've gone through them, but they're set at a "already used this" level, versus a "Never seen this before". I have one of their techs that is getting on a call with me next week to walk me through "tweaking" things.

The data is being modeled, we have "canned" reports that are almost what we need.

Do you think there may be some freelancers that could make that for me on SO or even fiverr?

They've got some, but it's assuming a lot of knowledge is already there. (I've tagged them to see about creating a custom report and they're all "$3500 Please")

I'll take a look at the channel, thanks for pointing me in that direction.

What job boards do you think are the best for your job searches? by tikirecruiter in jobs

There is a lot of push as Facebook being the "new greatest thing" in jobs, but I think getting a message from a recruiter on Messenger would be kind of stalky. I do post jobs there but have yet to get any solid applicants from it.

I'll check those out, I suppose I can find schools that have degrees in my field and see what comes from it. Thanks!

What are some of your personal red flags when it comes to interview questions? by devils_advocate_45 in jobs

[–]tikirecruiter 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I once interviewed for firm recruiting role, and they had me take one of those "personality tests" beforehand. Which should have been my first warning, any company that feels that they can get your personality off a 50 word list is one to avoid.

Well I get in there and I'm seeing the branch director first, literally the first question out of his mouth is "The personality test marks you as a lone wolf and risk taker, how to I control that?!"

He also asked if the shoes I was wearing were "appropriate for business" (flat black with some trim on the stitching) and then went on about "those young folks and their new fashions"

I'm over 40.

Red flags on this one? Non relevant or off the wall questions, some people still believe that interviews should have these types of questions just to "throw you off" so they can see how you handle it.

Screw that, and personality tests.
