Hello! How did you get started with excel as an HR professional? What are some good resources for me to develop my excel skills (courses, certifications, etc)? People often say YouTube but as a hands on learner I’d like something more interactive that will test me.

First check if your company has access to professional development courses as part of training. Something like Skillsoft as an example. If they do, use what they pay for, but would be free for you. If not, try Udemy, they have a reasonably priced course that can help. Either way, your employer should pay for it ( or part of it) as part of professional training.

Look up Miss Excel. I hear her online courses are incredible.

My friends OTOH have pursued hands on opportunities as they believe it will help them connect what they learned in theory through the certs. I believe at this stage in our careers, this type of granular/hands on experience is not entirely needed as long as we have an understanding of the services at a high level. I wanted to get your opinion if I was in the wrong with this thinking?

Setting up Smart Recruiters Smart CRM and trying to come up with content subjects that aren't consistent "hey here's a job themed", there's a function to set it up like a drip campaign. Any suggestions?

If you find this drop a comment and share what you've hated/loved. I've hated:
ApplicantStack
Talent Pool Builder
Oracle Recruitment Cloud TextRecruit (a neat idea but sooo not worth the cost per applicant imo) Career Builder (its odd to include on this list but it is)
I'm ambivalent about: Zapify (the thing that imports resumes from other places into your ats - so clunky compared to a manual upload)
SmartCRM - still new but it seems like an afterthought to SmartRecruit

Our company of 110 EEs has separate providers for payroll and HRIS, not happy with either products. I’m gathering data to make a pitch to move everything into an all-in-one HRIS + payroll.

Does it make any difference to make the change effective the first week of 2023 payroll, or to make a change in payroll providers mid year? I’m thinking it’s best to start fresh at the beginning of the year and not worry about two payroll companies for reporting. What are other things to consider?

Has anyone used both Lever AND Greenhouse ATSs? Our Lever agreement is coming up for renewal and I’m putting together a pitch to switch to Greenhouse. I would love any input into comparing the features so I can best ‘sell’ leadership on Greenhouse.

During the pandemic we started incorporating SparkHire for one way video interviews and now my hiring managers are super attached to it.

Is there any argument to hold onto one way video interviews anymore or should I drop it?
