RMS Survey Results

DHRM would like to thank agencies for completing the recent Recruit Management System (RMS) Survey.  The information and suggestions offered by survey participants will assist in the development of recommendations for system changes and enhancements.

The following information about the agencies that participated in the survey was revealed:

  • 53% accept online applications only.
  • 38% accept online and paper applications.  Of these, 62% have not yet set a date for conversion to an online only process.
  • 62% of the hiring managers do not have access to the RMS.
  • 76% were represented in the initial RMS training session.  The vast majority found it easy to understand, adequate for their needs, and indicated an interest in additional training.
  • 69% consider the online system to be user friendly and easy to understand.
  • 85% receive adequate RMS assistance from DHRM.
    • 82% believe the online system has been beneficial to their agencies.

    DHRM is actively working with PeopleAdmin to address statewide concerns and suggestions related to the RMS.  In the interim, DHRM’s responses to questions, comments and suggestions will be communicated through the monthly RMS Updates as soon as decisions are made.  Individuals submitting questions, comments, and suggestions will also be notified directly when a decision is made.

     

    RMS Post-Training Survey

    On March 29, 2007 a RMS Post-Training Survey was sent to human resources staff that attended the RMS training in February.  Please submit any questions relating to the RMS Survey to rmsinquiry@dhrm.virginia.gov.
