Building HR Solutions
Two Challenges in the past year:
How do you get 50 governments to agree on how to do anything?
How do you bring a new hr tech product to market in 90 days or less?

50 Governments
● Worked for DirectEmployers. We ran the National Labor Exchange.
● 2013: New regulations require employers to prove they delivered jobs to State Workforce agencies.
● Needed a way to get receipts from all 50 US Workforce Agencies.
● Difficulty: 50 governments and 28 different systems.
● We had 60 days to go live.

New Product
● Building for web & mobile. ● Need way to store position openings and
candidate profiles.● Compatibility critical to product success.● Need to have MVP quickly to secure funding.● Goal: 90 days.

Solution: Standards
Instead of reinventing the wheel, I went with a standard one.
In both cases, the entire project was completed inside what would normally be the “requirements gathering” phase.
In business, Done > Wishful Thinking

50 Governments
● HR-XML 3.2 Recruiting● Government LOVES XML● No arguments about what to call fields● No meetings about “taxonomies”● Had many states online in 60 days● Bonus: Often didn’t require developers

Starting Up Quickly
● HROS Lightweight JSON Standard● Works with web● Reduced database design from weeks…
… to about 10 minutes. ● Prototype was up in days.● Much more robust solution than we would have
had.● We’re in business :)● Bonus: compatibility

STANDARD Vs custom integrations
CUSTOMSTANDARD
Lack of agreed upon standards complicates the process
Expedites requirements gathering due to a predetermined set of standards
Depends on development resources to write code for every integration
Subject to strict development guidelines which makes it tough to quickly react to changing business requirements
Same constraints and dependencies exist when changes need to be made after go-live
VS
Cycles and resources dedicated to custom code maintenance
REQUIREMENTS
Allows for business teams to operate without dependencies on development
Provides flexibility to react to changing business requirements
Focus on innovative new features and frameworks
Ongoing maintenance reaps the same benefits as initial rollouts

To deliver a better candidate experience when a lot of partners are involved.
A “lingua franca“ of hr-tech is needed to save time and money when connecting all of the partners.
When connecting various ATS, useHR Open Standard as:
- Starting point for your interface discussion
- Very good documentation
- Easy to validate and test interface
- The XML structure to save time and effort
You can use different protocols to transport the HR-XML files:- REST- SOAP- File transfer
When connecting to candidate Frontend services, HR Open Standards “Lightweight recruiting” web services (JSON) will help you to easily,
- Connect to your CMS
- Be integrated in your mobile App
- Give you flexibility to integrate where ever it is necessary
HR Open StandardsHR-XML SEP 3.3 makes job board connection less dramatic.
Using different transportationlayer like:- SOAP- REST- File transfer
The structure of the job ad data is fixed. With the separation of layout and data (xsl/xml) you can easilychange your brand on job boardsin a short period of time.
Thank You!
