I have been persuaded that after 6 years of working on iRecruitment, it is time to hand the reigns on to someone else, and move to lead the Core HR team instead. I have owned iRecruitment development since it started way back in 2000, and have seen it go from strength to strength. I have devoted a lot of blood, sweat and tears on the product over the years, so it was a very hard decision to make the move. One of the reasons I was prepared to move is that I have Ravi Banda as an excellent replacement, and I am sure he will do a great job of taking the product forward. I'll be keeping an interest in what is going on with iRecruitment, and I am sure that in my new role I will stay involved with many of my iRecruitment friends, both in Oracle and externally.
My new Core HR role is like a blast from the past for me since I managed part of the Core HR team before starting iRecruitment. My new role here is a great new challenge though. My team is responsible for the Person part of the HCM product, along with most things that belong to a person (e.g. their employment details, contacts, addresses and the like). I will be leading the team through the transition to Fusion, where our first big goal is to enhance our schema to take advantage of some global person concepts from PeopleSoft that we think will be of benefit to everyone, and give us a great platform to move forward on..
