Pinnacle Entertainment Inc Opens Latest Property With Hrlogix Paperless Hiring Solution
Oklahoma City, Okla. (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) July 12, 2005 -- HRLogix, an innovative leading provider of
recruitment management technologies enables hiring of 2800 new employees for the
opening of Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. property, L’Auberge du Lac. With over
6,000 employees and their latest, and largest, property opening in May, Pinnacle
Entertainment, Inc. needed a streamlined human resources solution – and
fast.
Humberto Trueba, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for
Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., recognized immediately that Pinnacle would need to
change their approach to human resources. Faced with hiring 2800 new employees
for the opening of the new L’Auberge du Lac, the need for a paperless hiring
solution was imperative. Trueba knew from experience that the traditional HR
department approach of being 8 – 5 with paper job applications would be
ineffective. The paper work involved with the opening would mean processing
thousands of applications and new hire paperwork.
Trueba needed a fast
and efficient solution that would not require a large human resources staff or
much of their technology team’s involvement. Additionally, Trueba needed a
solution that went beyond current applicant tracking systems. While notifying
staff of new employees and processing new-hire paperwork would be the first
step, an innovative solution that could process the entire new-hire packet -
completely paperless - along with creating a virtual personnel file from
application to performance reviews would be the answer.
Trueba turned to
HRLogix. “We selected a partner that could work closely with us with us and
bring the expertise from servicing over 100-plus casinos. We did not want to
reinvent the wheel but rather to strive towards a ‘best in class’ model that was
applicant and internally friendly.” By bringing in an innovative hiring solution
that was tailor-made to suit their needs, Pinnacle has defined the art of human
resources.
The idea was to create an entirely paperless human resources
infrastructure and HRLogix, a leading provider of web-based, recruiting
management systems, had just the solution. Utilizing components from their Hire
Performance suite: JobLogix, HireLogix and FileLogix, HRLogix transformed
Pinnacle’s corporate website into a powerful, paperless recruiting tool that
automated and streamlined the entire on-boarding process. The tailor-made system
provided an HR department that was now accessible 24/7 and a professional,
effective approach to job-seekers in this new expansion market.
“We
consider our job applicants our guests and we want them to have a very positive
experience whether they are selected for a position or not,” says Keith Henson,
Senior Director of Human Resources for Pinnacle’s L’Auberge du Lac.
“We
received over 50,000 job applications and over 80% of them came through our
website rather than visiting our employment center kiosk system which in turn
reduced our time and cost per hire significantly”.
JobLogix was used to
handle the complex, high volume hourly hiring needs and provided a focused
technology hub. Using JobLogix, applicants were quickly ranked based on their
skills and availability and sent through to recruiters ensuring that Mr.
Henson’s staff concentrated their time on those candidates who were most
qualified. Additionally, they were able to automate the tedious but required
drug testing and background check processes – everything was performed at the
click of button via the internet.
Once selected, all information first
captured from the applicant through JobLogix applicant tracking process was then
pre-populated and carried through to job-specific new hire forms with HireLogix.
The new Pinnacle employees then signed back onto the internet and filled out
remaining information online or at a corporate kiosk which was automatically
routed to the HR Department. “HireLogix ensured legal compliance and
standardization throughout the new hire process making sure that each position
completed the correct forms utilizing digital signatures.
To complete
the paperless on-boarding system, Pinnacle utilized FileLogix, a web based
document and file management system that eliminated their need for file
cabinets, scanning and indexing and created an organized repository for all
Pinnacle new hire forms associated with an employee by location, department, or
specific document type. FileLogix created Virtual Personnel Files which are
accessible 24/7 via the internet which allowed Pinnacle a fast, effective
workflow process for all employment related materials such as I-9’s, W-4’s, new
hire paperwork and performance reviews. FileLogix significantly reduced time and
streamlines the data entry and data maintenance creating real time access to the
information that impacted the initial productivity of new hires.
Used in
tandem with the HireLogix solution, documents were auto-imaged during the new
hire on-boarding process for greater efficiency. Documents were then fed to
FileLogix via faxing, email or electronically by simply dragging and dropping
any file into an icon on your desktop. When retrieving or printing from the
HireLogix Solution, documents are electronically identified using an innovative
‘auto indexing’ solution whereby documents are faxed to a designated 1-800
number and electronically identified and attached to the specific candidate’s
file automatically- all without the need for manual coordination.
By
utilizing HRLogix Hire Performance suite of products, Pinnacle was able to hire
2800 new employees completely paperless. The system was effective and efficient
and resulted in a seamless on-boarding process.
““Prior to opening,
HRLogix allowed us to hire 2800 employees for our new property, L’Auberge du
Lac, without a single file cabinet. With over 90% of our positions being hourly,
I thought that some candidates may have trouble with the technology. After
receiving well over 50,000 applications and processing over 100 internal
transfers, the HRLogix solution quickly changed my mind. I could not imagine
doing an opening of this magnitude without this type of technology and customer
service”, Henson said.
