December Post


December was an interesting month, as it was mainly catching up and preparing for January.
The main areas I focused on this month were operator interviews, co-op exits and recruitment, and data integrity.

Operations recruitment is making a transition between the HR consultants. My role will remain relatively unchanged, but we all met to discuss the process and responsibilities.
Because of the Christmas break, interviews were only being conducted in the beginning of the month. There were candidates that were unable to come in, so I had to schedule them for January.

 For our co-op students, I once again scheduled the exit interview, and completed the exit process. I found the process went much more smoothly this time around compared to August’s.
I was also involved in the recruiting process for our NRTC positions. It was great to work with the team leaders in Calgary, even if it was not in person.
I have now become very familiar with the recruitment process for the different colleges and universities. I believe this knowledge will help me formulate the student strategy, as well as recruitment strategies.

Over the month I had a variety of data related projects. Amanda needed her ER survey put online, and I was able to set up the whole thing for her.
Tennielle needed help with new hire information. It mostly involves going over lists and cross-referencing them, but it helps us formulate strategy. Admittedly, it’s not my favorite thing to do, but it helps me with my typing skills, and gives me an idea of how our strategies are formulated.

I am now preparing for January co-op recruitment. I predict that it will be very busy. I have put together my interview team, and I have a very good feeling about the organization of this seasons recruitment.
