Human Resource tools assist organizations with organizing their business processes, talent acquisition, and human resource data. When using Tempus Resource, organizations can connect the two platforms to automate the creation and updates of their resources while keeping sensitive people data confined to the source HR system. Whether it’s through our open REST API or through a native integration, organizations using Tempus Resource have a full picture into your organization’s people, projects, and priorities – regardless of who is using what HR tool. Organizations can automate the creation and changes to their resources including capacity, hourly rate, title, skills, etc. to keep data clean, allowing resource managers to focus on what’s important: the utilization of their people.
