Fall Release Causes PeopleMatter Customer to Cry "Holy S#!t, This is Awesome"

CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating more than a year as a PeopleMatter customer, Scotty's Brewhouse, a neighborhood pub and restaurant company, continues to experience significant gains using the PeopleMatter Platform. Since the Oct. 2010 PeopleMatter implementation, over 6,000 candidates have applied for a job at one of Scotty's nine lndiana-locations. More than 1,100 employees were hired. PeopleMatter's Fall Release includes a new data extraction tool that converts a process requiring 96 hours of data entry to five minutes. This allows easy integration with internal, disparate systems."Holy Sh#!t, this is awesome!" was the immediate response of Scotty's Brewhouse Director of Human Resources Wendy Hantelman.

"PeopleMatter continues to change the way our HR department does business," said Wendy. "Because of PeopleMatter we were able to bring all of our HR work into the corporate office instead of having a dedicated administrator at each location." Prior to implementing PeopleMatter, Scotty's Brewhouse store adminstators handled all the HR paperwork – from employment applications to I-9 verification. By automating these processes the company reallocated the positions within the company, added two members to the corporate HR team and realized a $125,000 per year net savings.

"I-9 audits and processing have been a million times easier," shared Wendy. Previously Scotty's Brewhouse conducted two week inhouse I-9 audits with paper files twice a year. This tedious task would uncover lost files and expired identifications. "With PeopleMatter we never have to do an audit again," she continued. "Our legal team says we can keep all of our eVerified information in the system and be fully compliant." The end result is four weeks of reclaimed time every year.

The company will implement PeopleMatter LEARN™ throughout all their locations in Jan. 2012. Known to have one of the most intense training programs in the industry, converting three hours of first-day homework with fat manuals to an automated process is happily anticipated company-wide. The current LEARN test group of 100 employees, which is a tenth of their population, has responded enthusiastically.

"Our LEARN test group noticed that PeopleMatter is more than just a place to apply for a job. It actually leads somewhere," Wendy said. "It covers the entire employee life-cycle, including training, scheduling and employee engagement. It just makes sense to embrace all that PeopleMatter has to offer. We've already signed on for the next modules and can't wait for PeopleMatter to release SCHEDULE."

PeopleMatter SCHEDULE™ is slated to launch Feb. 2012. The module allows admins to create, post and manage shift schedules online, 24/7; while employees can view and trade shifts via a mobile app.
