HR-XML Consortium Europe Announces Seminar on HR and Recruiting Standards
13 May 2005
A seminar sponsored by HR-XML Consortium Europe on Monday, June 13 at the Intercontinental Hotel, Frankfurt, Germany, offers recruitment experts a unique networking opportunity and unparalleled access to essential information on how standards-based technology is shaping the future of e-recruitment solutions.
The world of recruitment and HR today is more fragmented and complex than ever. Every part of the hiring process has been enhanced and web-enabled to deliver greater efficiencies. Yet integration across technologies, systems and providers remain a practical challenge.
To improve the effectiveness of these processes, the HR-XML Consortium has developed the Staffing Exchange Protocol (SEP) and Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standard (SIDES). These standards are already in use in many organisations around the world and in Europe, in both the public and private sectors.
At the seminar, the HR-XML Consortium Europe will explain the business requirements driving development of the standards, as well as discussing the technical architecture on which they are based. These will be illustrated by practical examples and case studies illustrating the business and technical benefits that can be achieved. The event is designed to increase awareness, understanding and participation in this ongoing standardisation initiative.
The SEP and SIDES Standards
The Staffing Exchange Protocol (SEP) is a set of XML specifications that supports many types of recruiting and staffing transactions. These include the posting of jobs to job boards and company career sites, and the exchange of a candidate details.
The most recent version of SEP was designed with multi-national input from a variety of stakeholder groups including end-user organizations, state employment services, recruitment companies, job boards/career portal sites, applicant tracking systems and service providers, assessment providers and HRIS vendors.
The Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standard, SIDES, was developed to streamline data exchange between software applications to automate the procurement of human capital by enterprise customers from staffing companies.
The standard is made up of schemas that offer a significant head start to integrators connecting staffing companies, third-party services (such as vendor management systems, payroll providers), and end customers. The underlying principle is to enable participants to automate data exchange with multiple vendors and customers through the highly reusable SIDES interface. The SIDES standard is comprehensive, spanning the core front- and back-office business processes, thereby providing enormous opportunities to automate data exchange and save businesses money and time.
Participation
The seminar is designed for both HR professionals and technologists working in the HR and recruitment fields across Europe, whether in end-user organizations, suppliers or technology providers
