Document Management Services for Human Resources

Document Scanning

Document Scanning and conversion is often the first consideration for offices. Document scanning allows you to transfer paper documents to digital, index them so you can access and retrieve them easily, and convert them to editable digital files for updates as needed. Reduce the time it takes to process claims, get instant access to status and location of all candidates and employee records in your system, and minimize recruiting and hiring costs with human resources document scanning. Day-forward human resource records scanning of new-hire documents can also alleviate the hiring process.

DMS

How long does it take you to pass just one performance review or potential employee through your system?  Our document management experts can help automate your processes so expense reports, vacation requests, hiring, interview requests, and performance reviews are routed to the right person in the process instantly with one click rather than countless phone calls and emails. Simplifying your workflow will free up hours of time to let you focus on other important tasks.

Cloud Storage

Human Resources documents are heavily populated with personally identifiable information. From I-9s to medical records, social security numbers to tax information, HR departments are often a target for identity thieves. Digital document management can help you manage your security concerns better.

From version control to security clearance levels, all your data and converted files can be encrypted and protected from hackers or restricted employees. Go paperless with the active documents that you use now, and use an offsite records storage facility to eliminate the chance of any personnel records falling into the wrong hands.
