What Pyze Measures
- Elapsed and hands-on time per hiring and onboarding stage
- Application switches between recruiting, HCM and IT request systems
- Rework loops caused by incomplete candidate and new hire records
- Variation in onboarding paths across offices and service lines
Typical Findings
- Interview scheduling is coordinated through email exchanges with multiple busy reviewers rather than inside the recruiting system.
- Accepted offers are re-keyed from the recruiting system into the HCM system as a separate task for each new hire.
- Start-date access requests are raised with IT through a service portal after the hire record is complete, which leaves new consultants waiting on provisioning.
What the Opportunity Register Supports
- The opportunity register supports automating scheduling and record transfer for the highest-volume hiring groups.
- The measured onboarding paths quantify the effort spent on data re-entry between HR systems.
- The register supports an earlier trigger for access provisioning in the hire workflow.
