OVERVIEW

Hands-On Support to Get Your Systems Back on Track

  • Processes that flow
  • Data that's actionable
  • Efficiency that is felt

Over time, even the best Applicant Tracking and Human Resource Information Systems can fall out of sync with your processes, people, and evolving business needs. That's where ORS comes in. We help you diagnose what's working, uncover what's not, and realign your system so it truly supports your team. Our consultants translate your hiring goals into smart configurations, recommend best practices, and roll up our sleeves to make updates directly. 

The result is a system that feels easier to use, produces reliable data, and creates a better candidate experience, while giving your team the knowledge and confidence to keep it all running long after the project ends.

"I can't express how impactful Kim's work has been for my organization. She effectively led our team through an update of 15+ year outdated system settings, and she is a perfect blend of HR & IT knowledge to provide insights and guidance along the way. Thanks to her knowledge, leadership, and communication, our internal team and external hires are all thriving in the ATS. Kim's work improved our offer to start rate from around 50% to over 90%."
