I have been crazy busy the last two weeks working with the
Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD). During my time with DWD I
had the opportunity to help them develop candidate skill surveys (eScreens) via
SurveyMonkey for eight different positions at 28 different WorkOne locations.
If I am doing my math correctly, that is 244 personalized eScreen surveys! It
was crazy but very important for their improved turnover retention. The eScreen surveys help them find
stronger candidates, which in turn should drastically reduces turnover.
I began this project by evaluating the feedback of the
sample surveys from the various office managers. I created a location specific
spreadsheet and an overall feedback spreadsheet to help track the suggested
changes. I then partnered with the DWD Recruitment Consultant to determine
which feedback should be implemented into the surveys. Once we had a standard
survey completed and ready to go, I then had to reach out to each manager and
see if their location had specific information that might be different than the
standard survey. When I received their responses, I created links for
site specific eScreens and an additional link so the manger could access the
applicants’ answers. By the end of the two weeks, I had created 244 eScreens
and 448 links! Whew!
I enjoyed my time in the HR office at DWD. The three amazing
women who work in that office are an incredible team. They get along so well
and genuinely enjoy working together. I also got to be a fly on the wall and
witness so much of what they do on a day to day basis. My time with them was
invaluable and I am so glad I was able to help them streamline their recruiting
process.
When I started my internship seven weeks ago I had no idea
how many people I would meet and how much I would learn. It has been an amazing
experience and I cannot wait to meet and work with the Department of Child
Services for my next two weeks!
