Project Statement To improve the hiring process for non-faculty employees at Henry Ford College as measured by establishment of clear protocol, length of time between vacancy and acceptance of offer, and improved satisfaction with the process.

Background Information and Project Summary

The Continuous Process Improvement team – Hiring was established in June of 2015 to assess the hiring process for non-faculty employees at Henry Ford College. Initial data collected by the Office of Human Resources indicated an unstable process with great variability. A combination of CPI, Project Management, and Six Sigma techniques were employed to examine, define, organize, and expedite the hiring process at HFC. The team identified nine different hiring processes for non-faculty employees, mapping the processes with individual flowcharts, and grouping the steps together into six primary stages.

1. Creation and Review of the PRF 2. The Approvals Process 3. Posting 4. Identifying qualified candidates 5. Interview 6. Offer and Accept

The team walked each group’s process and value mapped each stage for every employee group’s process. This establishes a foundational time frame in which each stage of the process can be expected to be completed. The team created a RASIC chart in which key individuals in the hiring process were identified and assigned specific roles. The proposed approach was designed to balance those individual’s responsibilities with higher efficiency of process. External benchmarking metrics and hiring best practices were solicited from the HR offices of comparable institutions. A survey of hiring managers was conducted. Data from the survey indicated a majority of respondents agreed with team determinations that the approvals and interview stages were the most challenging stages of the current hiring process. A telephone survey of Michigan two-year colleges was conducted in order to solicit information relating to the number of FTE (full-time equivalent) employees and corresponding number of HR staff dedicated to the hiring processes at those institutions. Based on the results of these exercises, the team has reached consensus on the recommendations contained in this report.

Glossary of Terms

Approval Process – Process by which a job requisition passes through hiring managers, Human

Resources, and executive officers for approval to begin recruiting and to ensure accuracy, completeness,

legality, and appropriate budgeting of a position prior to posting.

External

Posted Externally – A posting open to all applicants.

External Candidate – An applicant that is not a member of the bargaining unit or group to which

a position belongs.

Hiring Manager – An HFC employee responsible for submitting a properly completed Personnel

Requisition Form, reviewing candidate resumes, interviewing candidates, and selecting the correct

candidate.

Hiring Process – Process by which HFC recruits, reviews, hires or promotes, and replaces employees.

There are nine types of non-faculty employees at Henry Ford College, each with its own varying process.

The types are identified as:

1. Dearborn Schools Operating Engineers Association

2. Exempt - Administrative Assistant

3. Executive - Cabinet and HR Director

4. Exempt - Human Resources Employee

5. Local 71 - Associate Dean

6. Local 71 - Administrators, Grades 1 – 1A

7. Local 71 - Administrators, Grades 2 – 8

8. Non represented – Part Time

9. Support Staff Association

Internal

Posted Internally – A position that is only open to current bargaining unit members.

Internal Candidate – An applicant that is a current member of the bargaining unit or group to

which the posted position belongs.

Onboarding Software – Software purchased or licensed from a third party vendor designed to systemize

and track the hiring process.

PeopleAdmin – Onboarding software currently used by HFC Human Resources since 2012

Posting – A position posted on the College’s website or a College-affiliated website, for internal

employee units such as the HFC-SSA or Local 71, as well as a position posted to any external web sites

such as Monster or CareerBuilder. Postings can be open to internal candidates or external candidates.

PRF – Personnel Requisition Form. Electronic form currently created in PeopleAdmin, used by hiring

managers for generating job postings.

Current Process

The current process for non-faculty hiring at Henry Ford College is comprised of nine varying processes

for nine corresponding employee types:

1) Local 71 Associate Deans

2) Local 71 Directors and Executive Directors (Grades 1 and 1A)

3) Local 71 Grades 2 through 8

4) Dearborn Schools Operating Engineers Association (DSOEA)

5) Exempt – Administrative Assistants

6) Exempt – Cabinet and Director of Human Resources

7) Exempt – HR Generalists

8) Non-Represented Part-Time employees

9) HFC Support Staff Association (SSA)

When a position needs to be filled within one of these employee groups, the hiring manager is

responsible for submitted a Personnel Requisition Form (PRF) on People Admin, the current onboarding

software used at HFC. Once the hiring manager has created the PRF, it goes through an approvals stage

before it is posted.

Whether the position is posted internally to HFC employees or to all applicants both internal and

external will vary. These variations are detailed in the following flowcharts. With the primary exception

of the posting stage of the process, there are very few areas in which time frames are established or

deadlines enforced.

Once the posting is closed, hiring managers sort through applicants for the position in order to identify

candidates. Qualified candidates are contacted for interviews, the scheduling of which needs to

accommodate not only the candidates and hiring manager, but also, under varying circumstances, other

administrators or executives, a representative from HR, and hiring committees.

Successful candidates within some groups must also schedule and pass any testing required to be

considered as qualified for a position. Testing is conducted at the Office of Human Resources.

Finally, the successful candidate is identified by the hiring manager, and the position is offered to the

candidate by the Office of Human Resources. In the event the candidate does not accept the position,

the process returns to the stage at which the hiring manager identifies qualified applicants for selection,

and continues as needed until a successful candidate fills the position. Once a candidate is offered a

position and accepts, the process is complete.

Analyzing the Cause for Current Outcome

The team conducted a survey of HFC hiring managers to establish what they felt were the most efficient

and most challenging aspects of the hiring process for non-faculty employees. Respondents indicated

the approval process was the most challenging, while the offer /accept process was indicated as the

most efficient. Responses are ranked as follows:

Respondents also were given the opportunity to express opinions relating to the hiring process for non-

faculty. In summary, survey respondents provided a wide range of concerns that included training

related to the hiring process (2), slow-down caused by candidate testing (2), loss of quality candidates

due to length of process duration (2), and perceived deficiencies in candidate recruitment (3).

Improvement Theory

The team identified three areas in which the hiring process at HFC could be improved:

1) Training and procedural standardization for hiring managers and committees

2) Changes relating directly to the hiring process

3) HR Systems and Organization

It is within those three categories that the team’s recommendations can be placed. Recommendations

are submitted with the intention of stabilizing and controlling the process, assigning clearer roles within

the process, establishing greater clarity for those who administer the process, and maximizing the

college’s benefit from the process.

Anticipated Positive Results

Reduced time to fill position and maximize quality of hire

Increased first choice for hiring

Standardized hiring practices across all employee groups

Increased understanding of hiring procedures

Decreased level of departmental uncertainty/confusion

Increased satisfaction of internal customers

Improved experience for external customers

Increased quality of hire

Page 20: Continuous ProCess imProvement - summer 2015 Hiring for Non … · a position belongs. Hiring Manager – An HFC employee responsible for submitting a properly completed Personnel

Recommendations – Hiring

Training and procedural standardization for hiring managers and committees

01. Develop an orientation program for hiring managers on the hiring process.

02. Create a Hiring Standard Operating Procedures handbook for managers and other interested

parties.

03. Develop an orientation program for hiring committees to provide details on posted jobs and the

requirements expected of applicants.

04. Create a procedure manual explaining onboarding software for hiring managers and other

interested parties.

Hiring Process Improvements

05. Gantt chart the hiring process, ensuring hiring process timelines are met and that all relevant

parties are aware of time commitments.

06. Re-order steps in the approvals process so new positions originate in HR and subsequent

approvals are made on complete, accurate, and legal PRFs.

07. Job descriptions are updated during employee’s annual evaluation.

08. Lock job descriptions once the hiring process has begun.

09. Expedite approvals process per RASIC chart, differentiate between new and existing positions.

10. Require hiring managers to identify and assign alternates to perform interviews in the event

that they are unable to perform interviews themselves, to ensure the process remains on

schedule.

HR Systems and Organization

11. Assign an identification number to each non-faculty position to improve organization and clarity

throughout the hiring process.

12. Develop a system for tracking and benchmarking the hiring of both internal and external

applicants.

13. RFP for new onboarding system should reflect the need to capture data on steps, and the

duration of individual steps for each hire, as outlined by recommended flowcharts. Data should

be evaluated on an annual basis to determine where improvements can be made.

14. Review staffing data to ensure HFC Office of Human Resources is adequately staffed and

structured.

The RASIC CHART

The RASIC chart is a tool used in project management. It is a responsibility assignment matrix wherein the

roles of Responsible, Accountable, Support, Informed, and Consulted are assigned to key players

throughout a given process. The roles are defined as follows:

Responsible - The person(s) who is ultimately responsible for delivering the project and/or task

successfully

Accountable - The person(s) who has ultimate accountability and approval authority; they review and

assure quality and are the person(s) to whom “R” is accountable

Supporting - The team or person(s) supporting the "real" work with resources, time or other material

benefit. They are committed to its completion

Informed - Those who provide input and must be informed of results or actions taken but are not

involved in final decision-making.

Consulted - Those who provide valuable input into product design or establish quality review criteria.

Their buy-in is important for successful implementation.

The RASIC chart was developed to clearly establish tasks, key people, processes, and roles. The RASIC

Chart was the work of the entire CPI team. It was developed after clear steps were established for all hiring

processes and then used to determine what role the key people in the process were ultimately labeled

with and responsible for.

There are 2 RASIC Charts:

New Position – Follows current process.

Replacement Hire – Approving parties are no longer responsible for approvals before posting, but are

informed as PRF moves from Creation and Review stage to Post stage. HR reviews and approves PRF for

legality, completeness, and accuracy before job is posted.

The role of the HR director was discussed at great length. Ultimately it was decided that a director has to

be held accountable for any and all actions that take place within his/her department. Clearly the

greatest amount of effort, time, and focus still comes from the HR director, HR team, and the direct hiring

manager.

Roles and categories were thoroughly analyzed to ensure that levels of involvement targeted efficiency

and speed while also placing importance on access to support and information. There might be additional

modifications to the RASIC Charts should there be a need for committee participation.

TALENT ACQUISITION PROCESS – CPI TEAM – RECOMMENDED METRICS

1. Time to Fill

Front end – From date when PRF is created

Back end – Date when accepted offer is made

Track internal and external hires separately

Break out by SSA, DSOEA, Local 71 grades 2-8, Local 71 grades 1 & 1a, exempt staff, exempt executives

2. Number of qualified applicants received per job posting

Track internal and external hires separately

Break out by SSA, DSOEA, Local 71 grades 2-8, Local 71 grades 1 & 1a, exempt staff, exempt executives

3. Number of applications received per job posting

Track internal and external hires separately

Break out by SSA, DSOEA, Local 71 grades 2-8, Local 71 grades 1 & 1a, exempt staff, exempt executives

4. First year turnover rate

o Track voluntary and involuntary separations separately o Track by actual # and as a % of headcount within the group o Break out by SSA, DSOEA, Local 71 grades 2-8, Local 71 grades 1 & 1a, exempt staff,

exempt executives o Track external hires only

5. Benchmarking – Recommend that we do not try to establish benchmarks based on external

data.

o In most cases we’d only get a limited sample – Everyone talks about the importance of metrics and benchmarks, but few actually have them or take them seriously

o Other colleges may not measure or track data the same way we intend to o Every college is unique, e.g., extent of unionization, contract language, HR staffing level

and quality of the electronic Talent Acquisition/Applicant Tracking system all create variations which make it harder to compare “apples to apples”

o People lie

6. Recommend that we agree on the metrics, track them for a year and then try to improve each year. Also referred to as “Internal Benchmarking.” We would develop and dashboard which would initially report YTD results on all agreed upon Metrics. In subsequent years we’d had the prior year’s results to the current YTD for comparison purposes.
