MHME 4.18 Live in Production
Thank you to our federal agencies for a comprehensive and successful UAT! We are happy to share MHME release 4.18 is now live. This release includes a series of updates to Job Analysis, including the addition of Basic Qualification Questions (BQQs), expanded configuration options for system-level vacancy tracking fields in Monster Hiring Management, and more robust tracking and documentation of applicant declinations throughout MHME. For more information, clients can check the MonsterGov Corner.
Monster’s 2024 Employer Branding Guide
In addition to salary and job location being important attributes of any potential job opportunity, today’s job seekers also value other aspects of a position, such as organizational culture, work/life balance, the employer’s mission and its impact on society. Federal agencies and our nation’s public servants do some of the most important work, but are they getting their message out there to attract talent? Check out the latest Monster research and best practices for employer branding.
Annual MHME User Satisfaction Survey Opens Soon
It’s that time of the year again! We’re launching our annual MHME User Satisfaction Survey soon, and it’s one of many ways we gather feedback from our federal agencies. We’re inviting all users of our federal talent acquisition system, including HR specialists, HR managers, hiring managers, and system administrators to take the survey. Open for two weeks in April, respondents will have the option to participate in a raffle for a Monster tote bag! Corner members will receive the survey via email notification once it’s live.
