HR going rogue

I work for a behavioral health firm as a recruiter and we have an hr specialist who does all hr responsibilities. I am not sure what is going on with her but she is very forgetful, loses her train of thought, slow in doing her tasks. and has outbursts that come from nowhere. I have to work hand in hand with her because after I recruit someone and they sign the offer letter, it gets handed over to her to onboard the potential employee. It literally takes her 4 to 5 business days to initiate the onboarding through ADP which impacts the candidate experience and could impact the hire from occuring. The ceo told her that the onboarding should go out immediately after the candidate signs the offer letter. I sent her a very nice email reiterating what the ceo said the process should be and suggested to her via email that she might want to think about getting a tracking system to help her manage the process. She responded via email that she was not getting a tracking system and I should leave her alone. That is the rudest thing I have heard an hr person say. I was surprised by her reaction and still thinking of my next step if anything. I did not respond but I am very disappointed in her behavior.

    Maybe reach out and ask if she's okay. It seems possible that she's experiencing something outside of work that is affecting her performance. Is there any kind of company support, or is there a trusted partner at the job who can assist? I'm sorry this is happening, and I hope for the best possible outcome for the company and this person.

    Exactly! It's ironic that your company is focused on behavioral health, but an employee is showing signs of possible mental illness. It would be good to check in with her to understand her perspective, then take next steps as needed.

    You being disappointed is not really a concern. If the CEO has not engaged her directly on timing then the next time you reach out, reach out for a status only with the CEO in copy. Allow her to respond. You aren't her supervisor. Stay in your lane with your disappointment.

    I think it should be a concern for her. Hires being onboarded on a timely basis is critical, especially nowadays with the market being so competitive. You must not be in hr or recruiting or you would not be so ignorant.

    How easy it is to be negative when you get to post anonymously! FGB is meant to be a place for uplift and support. To me, this post is anything but.

    That can be hard on you that you think you are helpful while she thinks you are criticizing her. Just leave the topic for now. If you get a chance, you can let your CEO know that getting a tracking system might speed up the onboarding as part of the HR process.
