Transforming Recruitment Efficiency at ACC
Riverbat Faculty and Staff,
| In a move to revolutionize our recruit-to-hire (R2H) process, HR Managing Director Elma Benavides and I have launched the R2H Optimization Strike Team. This strategic initiative aims to cut down the average time it takes the College to hire all the unique types of positions we employ to a maximum of 30 days by 2026. There will be significant improvements along the way, ensuring swift and efficient staffing that supports our institution's mission and growth. | |
The Teams Behind the Change
Co-led by Elma and me, the Strike Team has three Focus Groups comprised of cross-functional HR staff led by three of our savviest customer-facing professionals. HR Business Partners will act as sponsors to respective Focus Groups and their leads and will be instrumental in deployment and communication throughout the process.
READ MORE to find out what each of the groups will be doing to improve the R2H process.

In preparing for PEP, I pulled up my job description in Workday, and found it needs updating. Can I do that before my evaluation? | | |
Requests and issues related to job profiles should be shared with HR by submitting a Mojo ticket or email to hrsupport@austincc.edu. While changes will not be made in advance of PEP, we are logging issues and requests with the intent of addressing them during our upcoming Compensation & Classification study, led by Guidehouse consultants. In cases where it may not be sufficient to refer to the "Skills" area or other duties assigned by the supervisor, HR is here to consult and we can be reached through Mojo or hrsupport@austincc.edu. |
