HR Department Solutions

 

Innovations in Applicant Tracking

 

2004 ushers in a huge range of new features for our on-line Applicant Tracking software as we proudly continue our tradition of adding new capabilities and expanding integration with other HR technology to save you time and effort – while increasing productivity.

 Industry Leaders Choose WinOcular.

Assisting HR departments in accomplishing much more – with no additional effort – is a key element of our recent programming projects.   Building on our experience and skill with data integration, we’ve established partnerships and unique data exchange technology with State Certification Systems, Criminal Background Check Services, Employee Screening solutions, HRMS Systems, and other providers of necessary HR services.

 

WinOcular links these products together and consolidates the information to streamline your HR department and allow you to accomplish more, in less time. 

 

Here are some recent partnerships:

 

Safe Schools:  

Imagine the ability to have Criminal Background Checks during the early stages of the recruiting and hiring process – with no additional effort.  Imagine automating all the paperwork and details for a comprehensive National County-by-County Search – with no extra effort.

Certificate Tracking Update

Texas State Board of Certifications (SBEC) ensures HOUSSE accuracy by sending certifications (licensure) directly to WinOcular Software.

 

Working together, CCR, Inc. and SBEC have established a way for the ExCET and TeXES test scores and teaching certifications (endorsements) to be uploaded directly into CCR, Inc.’s Employee Portfolio software.

CCR, Inc. - Dedicated to Making You More Productive.

 

This technology will save School Districts thousands of hours in the verification process alone. 

 

Not only does it provide the most up-to-date certification information, it also saves time because all of the information is considered fully authenticated and verified – saving certification specialists and HR personnel the effort of personally confirming every certificate and test score.

 

This same technology will be integrated into the WinOcular Applicant Tracking Software to reduce effort and streamline the hiring process.

 

CCR, Inc. is actively pursuing the integration technology with all 50 states.
