Sharon Miller has an extensive background in Microsoft software, including Microsoft Dynamics GP, and has played a lively pace with Microsoft GP recruiting roles throughout her career. Since early 2006, Sharon has found success as an independent recruiter consultant for The Partner Channel, a creative and marketing management resource for Partners who specialize in business solutions software, such as Microsoft Dynamics. Sharon is very active in workforce activities in and around her community, often being asked to appear as a key-note speaker to recruiting events such as the Upper Great Plains Technology Expo.

In late June, Sharon purchased her first applicant tracking software system. She's already learned many of the benefits StarSearcher has to offer. Lately, she's discovered the benefits of enTAKE, just one of the many useful components of StarSearcher. With anticipation for the installation of web interface into her system, Sharon is excited for "great work" ahead. The online applications will ease her busy schedule and drastically cut down on data entry.

"I am in the process of setting up the enTAKE component as a web interface for my StarSearcher database. I am very close to incorporating this highly regarded feature so I can receive online applications and minimize data entry. It will be a great enhancement to my day to day workflow. What I look forward to the most is the ability to automatically advertise my job postings and having a database solution that supports and streamlines the recruitment process. Yes!"
