In an increasingly competitive world, one of the Universi-
ty’s key aims is to maintain its status as a leading higher
education employer by continuously attracting, recruiting
and retaining high quality
staff and faculty members.
Thus, a greater emphasis on the UAEU brand ought to be
a key marketing tool that will help
engage
potential ap-
plicants and establishing a reputation that UAEU is a
great place to work.
With this in mind, the UITS is devel-
oping in-house new online recruitment system designed
to improve
the University’s image as a prospective em-
ployer and utilize technology to streamline the recruit-
ment process for both applicants and the University hir-
ing departments.
The new online e-Recruitment solution will fully inte-
grate with the University’s Enterprise Systems such as
Banner and Active Directory.
It will
not only provide a
solution that will satisfy the University community needs,
but it also offer considerable cost saving by increasing
efficiency and reducing administrative costs.
Additionally, it is expected that the new e-Recruitment
solution will replace the current third party solution
which neither
provides the desired functionality nor inte-
grates with the University’s Enterprise Systems. This
solu-
tion is projected to
sa
ve
the University
2.2 million
AED in
both licenses
and support
fees
over the next ten years.
The e-Recruitment Project is currently in the User Ac-
ceptance Testing phase and expected to go live on De-
cember 20
th
2012.
Some of the additional expected benefits of developing e
-Recruitment in-house are:
Reduction of the time to hire
Reduction of the cost per hire
Reformation of the University’s brand image
Ability to recruit more effectively from the global
market
Streamline the recruitment procedures and minimize
the time spent in administration
Enable the recruitment team to spend their time on
issues that will add value to the university
Improved communication and service delivery to in-
ternal/external customers
The management of information will become easier,
more accessible and focused
Use of less paper thus supporting the University’s En-
vironmental Policy and UITS green IT initiatives
Integrated with University’s Enterprise Systems
