Our team is building a database for the Kennedy Valve Company Human Resources Department—recruiting process. We are building this database in order to yield a more efficient process when it comes to the data entry portion of the recruiting process. Entering each individual applicant can be time consuming and is prone to many simple errors. However, if there was a database system in place, entering each applicant would be a simpler process and decrease the amount of error “garbage in garbage out.” This, overall, would provide an easier access to the data and an instant ability to create reports that provide very specific information It would also save time so that the HR professionals would be able to move on to other important tasks in this department.
