The embodiments of the present invention generally relate to automated human resource management and more particularly relates to a method for automated compensation assessment and negotiation.
The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.
Today, the world economy is characterized by huge potential and demand for skilled workers in the knowledge economy for a variety of jobs. As the criterion of education and experience has increased among the skilled workers, the opportunity for new sectors has opened for everyone. Also, with new skills development programs for new emerging technologies, a new pool of people having necessary and desired skills are being created. There are currently many jobs in the global market for talented resources while there is a challenge in recruiting the right talents with the right skills and compensation. This is complicated in many industries as employees tend to move from one job to another job every few years. The situation is particularly for skilled employees and even more particularly true in the information technologies industries. An advantage in identifying, obtaining and managing employees represents a significant strategic advantage for an HR department in an organization.
Traditionally, the assessment for hiring has been done by individuals within a human resource department of an Employer Organization who describe various attributes related to a position. For example, the human resource procurement person (recruiter) may detail the requirements for an open job, advertise for individuals, or source candidates through third parties, collect resumes of candidates, evaluate the resumes to determine the qualifications of a candidate versus the job requirements, select the best-matching candidates, interview the best-matching candidates, and select a final candidate for a job offer. It is increasingly difficult for employers to identify and hire qualified employees and contractors for particular positions. There are multiple stages involved in the recruitment process which includes screening, matching and selection process, wherein screening is the evaluation of candidates to see if they meet a basic set of requirements for a position and matching refers to the qualitative and quantitative matching of a candidates' qualifications and compensation with the overall requirements of a position.
Human resource needs often arise suddenly and unpredictably but must be filled quickly with product development cycles and product life cycles becoming shorter, personnel with needed skills must be identified and hired quickly. At the same time, each candidate's position and salary and records must be sufficiently analyzed to make meaningful decisions. Currently, Human Resources departments in large scale and distributed organizations use tools which provide specialized services such as computation and comparison of employment offers and job descriptions using unique data that describes individual participants. Selecting employment from among a pool of available positions is a difficult decision involving many factors such as cost of relocation, salary, cost of living, commuting distance, and the like. Many of these factors are unique to a particular applicant. The assessment technology because of the substantial benefits helps the HR department to select individuals having particular characteristics that correspond to a particular profile, there has been extensive commercial interest in developing human resource assessment technology.
Despite attempts to update existing human resource assessment technology a long-felt but unresolved need remains for standardized methods and devices to screen, evaluate, or match individuals with defined profile parameters. As such, substantial problems with present human resource assessment technology remains unresolved. The conventional technology for human resource (candidate) assessment prevalent maybe that text file information or text file resume automation utilizing varied parameters for comparison.
The steps of the current negotiation cycle performed during the recruitment process are described as follows. Firstly, the recruiter gets the negotiation documents from the candidate and prepares a draft salary proposal as per job hiring guidelines, which is then shared with the candidate. Secondly, the candidate reviews the salary proposal draft, which ultimately leads to either acceptance or rejection of the proposal. However, in case of proposal rejection by the candidate a feedback is shared with the employer for re-consideration in the proposal. Thirdly, the feedback received is shared with the recruiter, which upon iteration is shared again with the candidate in the form of revised salary proposal. Fourthly, the candidate reviews the revised salary proposal sent by the recruiter and further approves/rejects the same. Fifthly, based on the candidate's selection of accepting/rejecting the salary proposal the recruiter finally submits the final offer to the candidate.
Such an approach produces data that is incomplete, inaccurate and non-standardized, the automation of screening and matching of candidates to positions is greatly compromised. Using test file information or text file resume-based databases, automated screening processes produces poor results because of the poor quality of data. Generally, the screening thresholds have to be set low or run the risk of rejecting qualified candidates, thus greatly increasing the number of resumes that have to be reviewed by recruiter, thus increasing the time and cost needed to arrive at a pool of qualified potential candidates.
An existing solution describes providing an automated human resource assessment system having computer-based processes, wherein programmable hardware or software system having standardized profile parameters that may be combined with database management or statistical techniques to screen, evaluate, or match individuals with defined profile parameters. Another existing solution provides a system and method for matching human resources (candidates) to human resource needs of an organization. Yet another existing solution describes providing a system and method to an individual to initiate the gathering, processing, authentication and distribution, for free or resale, of his or her personal information from a plurality of sources including, but not limited to, criminal, civil, credit and medical entities. Another existing solution uses job salary range to manage human resources budget, so that candidates are offered between the salary ranges. Yet another existing solution describes creating, editing and updating, verifying, and referencing a database of work, educational, and licensing histories of workers include an internet service which provides a secure means for prospective employees to enter and record on a database a personal educational and job history covering any time period. However, all the above disclosures do not disclose any solution for analysis of matching component-wise compensation details of the prospective candidates along with text resumes. The above does use real-time median salary for the job and real-time salary benchmarks to propose compensation for a candidate. Also, the above do not disclose solution for assessment of the fixed compensation, variable compensation, benefits, additional payments, grade by enabling the recruiter to do section-wise negotiation with the potential candidate.
Despite numerous attempts to update existing human resource assessment technology, a long-felt need is there, for an efficient and improved way of assessment and negotiation of the salary component but the current assessment system has failed to resolve the growing needs. A significant problem with conventional assessment system is that it cannot match component-wise compensation details of the prospective candidates along with text resumes, as a source of data regarding the candidate's compensation for a specific position by extracting and analyzing the metadata from the submitted salary slip by the candidate. The principal weakness of the conventional approach to human resource (candidate) compensation and negotiation assessment processes is the nature of the original data source, text information, and matching based on the previous compensation details gathered from the previous employer. Hence, there is a need for a system and method for efficiently providing an automated human resource (candidate) assessment and negotiation solution.

At step [212], the acceptance feedback module [110] receives a response from the at least one candidate device [102] for the first salary proposal. At step [214], the offer release module [112] generates a salary offer for the at least one candidate device [102] based on the response received for the first salary proposal. The present invention further encompasses that the generating the salary offer for the at least one candidate device [102] at the offer release module [112] further comprises receiving at least one of a fixed compensation input, a variable compensation input, a benefit input and an additional payment input from the at least one candidate device [102], wherein the salary offer is generated based on the received at least one of the fixed compensation input, the variable compensation input, the benefit input and the additional payment input, thus, allowing the candidate to design their compensation. At step [216], the offer release module [112] transmits the salary offer to the at least one candidate device [102] for assessing and negotiating compensation of the human resource (candidate) associated with the at least one candidate device [102]. The method completes at step [218].
The method of the present invention further comprises transmitting, by the offer release module [112], a request for at least one of an identity data, an educational data and a medical data to the at least one candidate device [102]. Next, the offer release module [112] receives at least one of the identity data, the educational data and the medical data from the at least one candidate device [102]. Subsequently, the verification module [114], verifies at least one of the identity data, the educational data and the medical data received from the at least one candidate device [102]. Lastly, the salary offer and the verified at least one of the identity data, the educational data and the medical data for the at least one candidate device [102] are stored at the candidate database [126].

At step [306], at the candidate selection module [104], the candidates are selected using a series of tests and interviews for a job including but not limited to online assessments, video interviews or personal interviews thereby, helping in the selection of the candidate. Thereafter, the compensation data recording module [106] is triggered and it captures the component-wise compensation details of the candidate using the at least one candidate device [102] at step [3081]. This process helps in identification/mapping of the key components of salary currently being drawn by the candidate, which further aids in removing the compensation interpretation bias of recruiters, hence providing uniform negotiation experience across large and distributed organization.
At step [3081], the compensation data recording module [106] also enables the selected candidates to upload compensation documents in the system. This sets the data and document accountability with the candidate. At step [3082], the verification module [114] verifies the compensation details against the compensation documents uploaded, wherein the details are matched against the pay band for each job role and the compensation being drawn by the current employees of such role within the organization, thus improving data reliability and governance.
At step [3083], the salary proposal creation module [108] recommends the salary proposals that can be offered to the candidate based on the analysis of following parameters which includes but not limited to component-wise verified compensation details, a total compensation approach (which further includes compensation, valuation of benefits, location amongst other factors), a median of the salary range, a statutory minimum wages of the respective location. The salary proposal creation module [108] further divides the entire proposal into various sections (including but not limited to fixed compensation, variable compensation, benefits, additional payments, grade) enabling recruiter to do section-wise negotiation with the candidate. The system also highlights the personalized unique selling points in various sections for each candidate profile.
At step [3084], the acceptance feedback module [110] receives a response from the at least one candidate device [102] for the first salary proposal. Once the total compensation value is agreed by both candidate and recruiter, the offer release module [112] initiates the approval process at step [3085]. In case a recruiter has multiple candidates, the candidate selection module [104] shows detailed comparison of candidates and recommends the most suitable candidate to submit for offer approval. Thereafter, the formal offer is release to the candidate at step [3086]. Subsequently, at step [3087], the verification module [114] performs verification of the candidates' information. The system also has a special provision for regulating negotiation with ex-employees as per company policy. The system also allows candidates to design/tweak own package by selecting various salary components keeping the approved total compensation value intact post the approval of the offer. The system also records individual candidate's experiences during negotiation after completion.
Further, in case, the proposal is not acceptable to the candidate, then following options are open to the candidate which are as follows, firstly, the candidate can request for revision in offer proposal and can also propose a compensation. Once candidate makes a counter-proposal, system also shows the probability of the proposal being accepted by the recruiter on a real-time basis. This keeps the candidate expectations realistic and the process transparent. Secondly, based on the inputs, the next suitable proposal is prepared by SCANS which is again shared with candidate by the recruiter, wherein the said process is iterated till the candidate accepts the offer or candidate is rejected by the recruiter.
At step [310], consequently, at the time of pre-boarding or on-boarding, the pre-boarding and on-boarding module [122] the transfers the approved compensation value (including benefits) to the HR module [116]. This ensures that the commitments made to the candidate during negotiation are honoured, wherein the acceptance of salary draft and all communications during the negotiation process is controlled by the system, thus, minimizing any miscommunication. Also, in event upon performing verification of the candidates information, logs and historical data the system determines inconsistencies (e.g. forged documents, etc.), the candidate blacklisting module [124] blacklists candidates who are not coherent with the whole recruitment process at step [312]. The system also learns feedbacks received and the successful/unsuccessful proposals to increase the frequency of success for first proposal.

At step [412], the offer made by the recruiter if accepted by the candidate is forwarded to the higher-level executive authorities for further approval. The further steps include after the release of the offer and its acceptance, the medical and document verification is completed and is sent to the HR head. However, at step [412], after the recruiter submits the offer to approval the agent and recruiter verify the documents where two cases arise, firstly, if the documents submitted possess some anomalies, then the offer is deemed to be withdrawn or sent to the candidate for re-submission with additional details. Secondly, if the documents submitted by the candidate are correct, then post verification it is sent for further approvals. At step [414], if the agent approves the documents submitted by the candidate the on-boarding process is initiated and the candidate details are sent for further approval.

Thus, the present invention provides a novel solution for efficiently providing an automated human resource assessment and negotiation solution to offer component-wise verified compensation details to a candidate based on including but not limited to total compensation approach (which includes compensation, valuation of benefits, location and many other factors), median of the salary range, statutory minimum wages, location, etc. wherein the proposed solution also helps in selecting the individuals having characteristics that correspond to a profile. It also provides an efficient solution for the prospective candidates based on the analysis of varied sections including but not limited to fixed compensation, variable compensation, benefits, additional payments, grade thereby, enabling candidates and recruiters to perform section-wise negotiation with the candidate. The solution of the present invention also provides an effective salary negotiation during the recruitment process by saving cost for various large scale and distributed organizations who lose millions every year due to structural inefficiencies of salary negotiation and aids in bringing standardization in the recruitment process leading to uniformity, fairness and speed. It also solves the problem of ensuring adherence to the minimum wage regulation across the large scale & distributed organization.
