Being an HR generalist isn’t going out of fashion anytime soon. With leaner teams and tighter budgets, it’s both a great time to be a solo HR professional at your organization and perhaps the worst time.
Recent numbers show that HR headcount has been dropping, with many HR professionals managing entire functions alone. If this is you, the balancing act is all too familiar; from hiring to onboarding to payroll and everything in between. This can feel overwhelming but offers unique growth opportunities, allowing you to develop a breadth of expertise across various HR responsibilities, giving you insight into every corner of the business, and positioning you as an indispensable resource within your organization. If anyone understands your organization's inner workings, it’s you.
Routine tasks consume valuable hours that could be directed towards initiatives driving company growth or finally completing that SHRM course for your next certification.
Even if you’ve gotten good at powering through routine work, you are better off channeling your time towards more impactful projects like building engagement programs, fostering talent, and supporting employee well-being. The good news is you can do this, even with limited resources.
One of the highest-return areas for automation is interview scheduling. Coordinating interview times, navigating availability, and updating candidates can be a logistical nightmare, consuming valuable hours each week.
As Tanya Towner, HR coordinator at ONWA, experienced, manually scheduling thirty interviews used to take her a whole week. Tools like Cronofy streamline interview scheduling, freeing up your schedule for more impactful work. Like Tanya, you can schedule interviews in seconds with automation and don’t need to break the bank for it.
That’s not all; AI notetakers and interview intelligence tools like BrightHire improve decision-making throughout the hiring process.
Automation means your HR team—no matter how small—can operate like a much larger team, scaling your impact without scaling your workload.
