Pinnacle Entertainment partners with HRlogix

HRLogix, an innovative leading provider of recruitment management technologies enables hiring of 2800 new employees for the opening of Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. property, "Lauberge du Lac". With over 6,000 employees and their latest, and largest, property opening in May, Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. needed a streamlined human resources solution and fast.

Humberto Trueba, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., recognized immediately that Pinnacle would need to change their approach to human resources. Faced with hiring 2800 new employees for the opening of the new Lauberge du Lac, the need for a paperless hiring solution was imperative. Trueba knew from experience that the traditional HR department approach of being 8-5 with paper job applications would be ineffective. The paper work involved with the opening would mean processing thousands of applications and new-hire paperwork.

Trueba needed a fast and efficient solution that would not require a large human resources staff or much of their technology teams involvement. Additionally, Trueba needed a solution that went beyond current applicant tracking systems. While notifying staff of new employees and processing new-hire paperwork would be the first step, an innovative solution that could process the entire new-hire packet - completely paperless - along with creating a virtual personnel file from application to performance reviews would be the answer.
