Sprenger Health Care Centers Expands Use of Kronos to Include Hiring of Hourly and Salaried Workers
CHELMSFORD, Mass., May 10, 2011 — Kronos Incorporated today announced that Sprenger Health Care Centers (SHCC), a family of 10 rehabilitation and retirement communities located throughout northeast Ohio, has chosen the selection and hiring solution from Kronos®. SHCC already uses Kronos for time and attendance, absence management, and HR and payroll.
News Facts
- SHCC has been steadily expanding its use of Kronos to improve efficiency, control labor costs, and minimize compliance risk. SHCC values having a one-vendor, end-to-end workforce management solution for its more than 1,500 employees.
- Prior to using the Kronos selection and hiring solution, SHCC had an entirely manual, paper-based hiring process. With the latest version of Workforce Acquisition™, SHCC will use Kronos to hire all employees – both salaried and hourly.
- A key reason for choosing Kronos was a desire to provide potential employees with a better applicant experience. With Kronos, applicants create one profile to apply for multiple jobs, easily upload their resume, and sign up to receive emails about job openings.
- Another important benefit of the Kronos solution is that SHCC now has visibility into its entire pool of applicants. Prior to using Kronos, a candidate would apply at one location and if that location didn't need staff, but another location a few miles away did, there was no way to share applications or know of that need. With Kronos, candidates will be pooled so that multiple locations have access to qualified candidates.
- The quality of care provided is critical in the long-term care industry. Using Kronos’ unique selection science, SHCC is able to identify candidates who would be the best fit and are likely to perform better and stay longer. Hiring managers spend less time weeding out unqualified applicants and are able to fill positions more quickly.
- The selection and hiring solution from Kronos integrates with existing Kronos technology, automating the on-boarding process and enabling time-saving measures such as sending offer letters and sharing data with the HR solution.
