Use Examples
Below are a few examples of uses HR-XML specifications are designed to fill:
- Assessments: An Internet-based recruiting solution may want to provide its clients a way to order testing or assessments from a third-party test publisher or assessment firm. HR-XML provides a set of XML schemas defining messages such companies might use for order creation and fulfillment.
- Staffing: An employer may use a staffing management or vendor management system (VMS) to place requisitions for temporary help with staffing suppliers. HR-XML's "Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standards" (SIDES) define a set of messages to manage the interactions between the VMS and the staffing supplier system throughout the requisition process.
- Employee benefits: An employer may use a benefits services outsourcing company as its record keeper for employee benefit programs. That outsourcing company may use HR-XML's enrollment and indicative data specifications to keep related benefit plan partners (for example, insurance companies) up-to-date with current employee benefit elections and status changes (for example, name changes, termination of employment, adoption of a dependent, designation of beneficiaries, etc.).
