Title: RE: Looking for advice re HR Luser request

That sounds like a really good idea. I think I'll suggest it and see if it sticks. Thanks.

Here's what I did for my HR dept.  I set up a public folder for the HR dept and under that a folder for each type of resume they would get (we have 10 categories), i.e. HRjobs or ITjobs or Manufjobs, etc.  Each folder has its corresponding smtp address that the department uses in its postings.  The HR folder tree is restricted to allow access to only the HR personnel.  You have to give the contributor permission to the default account in each folder so that anyone can post to the folder.  The HR people responsible for looking at resumes are trained to look at the folders for new postings. It works great and I haven't had to do anything since it was set up, they even clean out the folders once in a while.

Hope this helps.

I agree with you and that's how they are currently doing it - single mailbox that someone checks. I guess they are SOOOOOO overworked up there, that they just don't have the time to continue doing it this way. ;-)

I agree. I don't like that idea either. But now they are reaping what they
sew, and it sounds like they don't want to do THEIR jobs.

Instead of doing any forwards or CRs, just create a single mailbox. Put
everything in there, and tell them how to open it to read mail. Then they
can do it at their convenience.

Running Exchange 5.5, SP4 on NT4 SP6a.

Our HR department currently has an email address set up for job postings so
people can email their resume. They are getting so many that they no longer
want to process them. What they want to do is create a new email address for
each posting that would go to the appropriate person in the department with
the opening.

The do not wish to use the following suggestions I gave to them:
1. Just use the email of the person in the department you want to receive
the resumes.
2. We could create a few distribution lists (for running multiple jobs at
once) and they can add and remove users at will.
3. They could set up rules on the current mailbox to route based on job
posting number or some other piece of information.

I don't like the idea of creating an email address every time they do a job
posting.  So, I'm wondering if anyone else has had to deal with a similar
situation and if you found a workable solution.

TIA, MJ
