| Intranet
Increasingly, forward-thinking organizations are taking advantage of the "Intranet" as a more cost-effective and efficient approach. The Intranet refers to the use of Internet (http://www) technology within the organization rather than for external connection to the Internet. Intranets are effective for distributing information in an organization and for providing the powerful and flexible infrastructure for the dissemination of information within the company. The intranet can be useful for staffing professionals in various ways. It can help cut down paperwork that slows the hiring process down. The intranet can also be very useful with internal recruiting. The quick dissemination of open positions to targeted internal employees can maximize internal placements. Intranets Save Time and Money An Intranet cuts down the time that staffing professionals spend on routine communication tasks. For example, standard forms used in the hiring process can be placed on the intranet and accessed easily and quickly. The form is completed on the intranet and all the required information is captured and also saves a lot of time. Also, costs can be minimized using an intranet. With an Intranet solution it is possible to publish most of the paper documents on the internal web. Starting with simple solutions like a corporate phonebook, there are a number of applications that will save company money in terms of publishing and distribution costs. |
