RE: Looking for advice re HR Luser request

2002-03-27 Thread Desiree Herrmann

I concur with the DL suggestion.  I have run into this issue, and it can be
a headache.  I solved it here in a somewhat small organization by using
aliases for certain users and we did change the address people were sending
resumes to, but as you can imagine, there was some swapping of messages
which still needed to be done as some resumes went to the wrong
individual...  Force them somehow to use one address, I'm going to try that.

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.

Subject: Looking for advice re HR Luser request


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

RE: Looking for advice re HR Luser request

2002-03-27 Thread Ray Zorz

What I find kinda weird was that HR didn't want to even see the resumes.
But, regardless, maybe the company can designate various department heads
(actually, probably the AA's) to receive them. Salesjobs, HRjobs, Techjobs,
etc. @companyname.com.

Hopefully they'll do that and actually tell the exchange admin.  Since I'm
unemployed, I've been sending out a buncha resumes.  Amazing to me that
companies put e-mail addresses out there, and I get errors that they're not
active. Ironically, one was for a Exchange admin.

Title: RE: Looking for advice re HR Luser request





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.

This may help them manage their resumes
better. Our HR department has to
review all resumes before they are sent on to the hiring manager. This solution can still be used instead
of a routing solution, you just have to give the hiring managers access to the corresponding
folders as well. If it's done

Title: RE: Looking for advice re HR Luser request



This 
idea still didn't fly. I think what they really want is for someone else to do 
their job, but this is what my boss wants to do:

Use 
another domain for all the job posting email addresses, like nhrajobs.com or 
whatever (maybe LazyPeople.com - haha). Anyway, we would have our ISP set up an 
MX record in their DNS for this domain and point it to a server that has the 
SMTP service installed. So far, fine, but here's where I can't figure out if 
this will work or not. ... Once the mail hits the SMTP server, he wants whatever 
addresses we have set up to route to specific users in the nhra.com 
(Exchange). As far as I can tell, you can't set up users with the 
Microsoft SMTP service like you can with Exchange. So, I don't think this 
idea will work. If I am correct, is there some other (cheap or free) SMTP 
program that will do what he wants?

  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

I'm assuming this isn't a custom recipient. If it is, you'd have to create a mailbox and use OL2K to setup the server based rules. Either that or write a custom CDO to have logic in it to handle those emails.

some thoughts in no particular odor ...

- If they don't like the Exchange solutions you give them, then tell them to
go setup their own email box ... (if only it would be that easy)

- If the postings are numbered in some kind of pattern, maybe do a import of
a month's worth of SMTP addresses in a single account.  (i.e.
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc)  At least that would lessen the pain.

- You could set something up, but plead overwork and that they need to send
someone over who could type each individual address into the system ...

RE: Looking for advice re HR Luser request

2002-03-26 Thread Wayne Hanks

This is not so much a suggestion but a rant about ignorant users who seem to
think that computers are somehow magical and can Nike (Just Do It) all by
themselves  (and why is it that HR seems to be the worst affected by this
disease?:)). 

Probably the easiest solution is to have a person in their department with
access to the Exchange administrator and restricted access to the mailboxes
of the HR department so that they can create the new email addresses as
required.  HR should be able to be trusted with this ;).  

I believe there are also utilities out there which will enable users to
modify their own settings in a granular way. In fact I think our hosts at
Sunbelt sell a couple of different products which do just this.
Unfortunately I have not used any of them so i cannot give you any guidance
in this matter. 

As for the suggestion below, about setting up their own email box!
Unfortunately in many organizations this would be taken literally and before
you know it every man and his dog is setting up their own email server and
causing all sorts of chaos on your network.  NEVER suggest to a user that
they should do their own thing.  Before you know it, you are being called to
fight fires on equipment that you have never seen or configured when
something out of the ordinary happens.  If you say that you do not support
their gear, you get blamed because you suggested that they set it up
themselves. 
Or even worse your users get the idea that they can do without your services
and you get invited to hit the track :) 

Of course this is based on my experiences at a large Government department
that had a number of scientists who believed that the only way to get
anything done was to do it themselves.  The benefit was that we harnessed
their energies in an advisory committee so that we could look at their
suggestions and come up with solutions that were reasonably cost effective
and didn't cause a major disruption.

some thoughts in no particular odor ...

- If they don't like the Exchange solutions you give them, then tell them to
go setup their own email box ... (if only it would be that easy)

- If the postings are numbered in some kind of pattern, maybe do a import of
a month's worth of SMTP addresses in a single account.  (i.e.
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc)  At least that would lessen the pain.

- You could set something up, but plead overwork and that they need to send
someone over who could type each individual address into the system ...

I agree with you and that's how they are currently doing it - single mailbox
that someone checks. I guess they are SOO 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

I had something similiar with about 50 different information type e-mail
addresses that were published on a couple websites.  I think you were right
on with the DL idea.
