Year: 2014

The County of San Diego Department of Human Resources (DHR) is responsible for the recruitment of county employees. Human Resources receives close to 100,000 applications annually. The department uses NeoGov, an online hiring and selection program, and implemented the system’s self-scheduling function for both written exams and interviews for applicants. This functionality allows potential employees to select, from predetermined times, when they would like to attend an exam or interview. The program increases efficiency by saving the human resources staff considerable time they used to spend trying to contact applicants and schedule meetings. The end result is the hiring process is expedited which benefits County departments and applicants.
