French term

méthodologie outillé

French to English Bus/Financial Human Resources (recruitment issues)
This term recurs a few times, so I'm trying to find something not too cumbersome, and to be honest, I really don't understand quite what the underlying idea is; I have in the past used '(suitably-)resourced' for 'outillé', but don't somehow feel that comfortable with 'resourced methods' (given the overall context, I think that 'methods' is closer to the idea here than trying to use 'methodology' in the plural in EN, but I stand to be corrected on that!)

"Avec des méthodologies outillées elle [= l'organisation / l'entreprise] va pouvoir automatiser les processus de recrutement à travers toute l’organisation pour les différents acteurs intervenant aux différentes étapes de ce processus qu’il soit professionnel RH ou non."

Maybe stick "analytical" in front of it.
Julie Barber Nov 10, 2008:
I'd tend to think that the "tool" is software, especially as they are talking about automating the processes. Cutting through the BS, "using sofware" or something similar might just fit!
Tony M (asker) Nov 10, 2008:
THANKS TO ALL! Thank you so much for your speedy contributions!

I am closing this question early and without grading, as although all your suggestions are helpful, I've just found the term in another document from the same customer, and although I don't entirely agree with the translation used, I have no choice but to follow it!

Their 'official' terminology seems to be 'tools and methods' — well, at least it isn't cumbersome!
Tony M (asker) Nov 10, 2008:
Hi Emma! No sadly, I don't! They are all part and parcel of a behemoth of an HR management software suite, so I think it is definitely likely to be something specifically software -based.
Emma Paulay Nov 10, 2008:
Hi Tony. Do you have any examples of these methodologies? Is it a software package or tools such as assessment grids and job classification?

"Technology-aided methods" could be an alternative translation, if need be. Googling this expression, I retrieved the following address regarding e-recruitment which might be helpful: http://www.hrsmartafrica.com/applicant-tracking-system/appli...

Merci beaucoup, Dominique § En effet, cela me sera sans doute d'une très grande utilité.
