The World Wide Web changed the way business was carried out all over the world. Be it sourcing, researching, or even recruitment, everything became a tad easy and newer variables were added to the processes. However, with the information overload, it has become difficult, especially for individuals from non-technical backgrounds to differentiate what is good and what is not.
Fear not HR managers, sumHR is at our rescue! Below is a list of 6 online resources and websites that will not only make your HR management tasks easy but also offer you loads of tips, tricks, and knowledge:
Google Drive
Supplanting the erstwhile Google Docs, the Google Drive service offers a plethora of features, including a Web-based office suite that comprises a nifty word processor and spreadsheet software. You also get a free-of-charge cloud storage of 5 GB, which usually is more than enough for storing files and documents.
If you are not already using LinkedIn, then you should start using it. It is a must-use for all professionals and even more so if you are a HR person. In addition to recruiters, it is a boon for HR managers who can connect with their employees and use the Company Pages and Groups features to increase interaction.
Pixlr
Whatever industry you might be in, using images has become a common thing. However, good photo-editing software can be expensive. Of course, there are many other free alternatives available. But the best one is Pixlr, which is a browser-based photo-editing tool. Incorporating most features found in Adobe Photoshop, this tool makes image editing a cinch.
Feedly
