Lesson 2: Hiring Tutorial Requirements

Objective: The objective of this tutorial is to give overview on the Hiring Tutorial requirements that will be implemented on IBM BPM on Cloud instance.

Note: This tutorial is an extract from the IBM material on Hiring Tutorials, which were additionally enhanced on specific points, wherever required.

General Overview of Hiring Tutorial:

1.  In this tutorial, you use the tools in IBM® Process Designer to re-create the Hiring Sample process application that is in IBM Process Center.

2.  This tutorial gets you started using Process Designer tool by having you iteratively model and test an instance of a hiring process. As you complete the lessons, you learn about Process Designer so that you can build your own processes.

Note: This tutorial is a learning exercise that describes one way of modelling, implementing, and testing a process. Depending on your process and process application, other techniques might be more appropriate.

3.  This tutorial contains the following modules: 

–Hiring tutorial: Model the process 

–Hiring tutorial: Implement the process 

–Hiring tutorial: create the user interface 

–Hiring tutorial: integrate the process with services 

–Hiring tutorial: Conduct the final playback

4.  After you complete this tutorial, you will be able to do the following tasks: 

–Model a process that is based on the process requirements. 

–Implement the process, including data variables and services that are required by the process. 

–Create the user interface for the process. 

–Conduct playbacks at each phase to validate the work that you completed. 

–Run and review the process.

5.  Each module in this tutorial contains lessons and builds on the previous module so that you can work with the tutorial from beginning to end.

Note: The process application that you are creating in this tutorial is called the My Hiring Sample, and the process application that is included in Process Center is called the Hiring Sample.

Hiring Tutorial Process Requirements:

1.  The process that you are going to model is called the Standard HR Open New Position process. This process covers how to fill a job position by submitting, approving, and routing a job requisition to the Human Resources (HR) department to search for job candidates.

2.  The Standard HR Open New Position process includes the following requirements: 

a) The following are the 3 parties that are involved in the requirements:

–Hiring Manager

–General Manager

–Human Resources

–Systems 

b) The following is the final Process Diagram that we are going to develop:

c) The Hiring Manager must either fill a new position or replace an employee who is departing from an existing position. 

d) The Hiring Manager must determine the position requirements and prepare a job requisition to be submitted to the HR department. For a new position, the hiring manager can provide the following information: 

– An ID for the job requisition

– Name of the hiring manager 

– Title of the position 

– Name of the department that requires the job requisition 

– Number of employees that are required to fill the position 

– Whether the job requisition is for a new or existing position 

– Whether the job is part-time, full-time, or contract 

– When the position starts 

– Where the position is located 

e) For an existing position, the hiring manager must provide the following information about the person who will be replaced: 

– First name 

– Last name 

– The person's manager or supervisor 

– The person's pay grade or level 

– The person's classification for taxation 

– Comments regarding the person 

f) The hiring manager reviews and approves the job requisition before the hiring procedure starts. 

– If the job requisition is to fill an existing position, the hiring manager must send the job requisition directly to HR. When HR receives the job requisition, they search for candidates. 

– If the job request is to fill a new position, the hiring manager must send it to the general manager (GM) for approval. 

g) The GM must evaluate the job requisition and either approve or reject it. 

– If the GM approves the job requisition, it then goes to HR so that HR can find job candidates. 

– If the GM rejects the job requisition, the hiring manager is notified and the job requisition process is terminated. 

– If the GM does not handle the request by the due date, the GM is notified.
 

What Next:
In the next lesson 3, you will understand how to create Process Application, Business Process Definition (BPD), Model Teams for the Hiring Tutorials requirement.
