University of Wollongong in Dubai
About UOWD
UOWD is a premier Australian university in the Middle East providing worldclass
higher education to 3,500 students through 250 staff.
DUAL CHALLENGES
-
By 2003-04, UOWD had begun attracting the region's leading
organisations to recruit its students on campus. The student intake had also
increased during this period. This resulted in extraordinary pressure on the
Student Services department to identify best fit students for every available
position.
-
Even to augment its own staff, UOWD had just one person managing
the entire recruitment cycle. They were getting hundreds of paper CVs
and email applications; many of which did not even state the desired job
position. It was a very slow, manual process.
IMPLEMENTATION & SERVICE
Implementing the core solution was quick. “We had it up and running in a
week. There was limited need for IT support and we could take a decision
without getting too many parties involved,” says Naomi Munro, Human Resources Manager at UOWD.
“The fact that both departments could screen people, ask relevant
questions, and then modify all of that was a strong factor. In a university,
our recruitment process is very different from corporate organisations. We
needed the flexibility to be able to change things easily and quickly. This
was possible with Sniperhire,” says Munro.
