How an Online Recruiting System Will Save You Money
The recruitment industry wastes millions and millions on investment in unnecessary and expensive IT and will increasingly do so as companies continue to follow old fashioned approaches to IT.
The problem lies in the high levels of set up and maintenance costs of a traditional server-based software system, especially for organisations operating across multiple sites. Any company prepared to invest such death-or-glory sums must be confident considering the current economical climate.
Yet you could cut that initial outlay significantly by adopting a truly online recruitment system, as well as slashing on-going costs. Even if you've previously made a substantial investment in traditional server-based software the core benefits of moving to an online recruitment system are just too great to ignore for any organisation looking to the future.
And if those dramatic savings in capital and running costs aren't enough, an online recruitment system also gives a previously unavailable ability to access, collate and manage data that can produce a quantum leap in productivity without the need for heavy-duty investment in evermore powerful servers and a connecting infrastructure.
For instance, candidate records at one site can be seamlessly searched by a consultant at another, instantly increasing the talent pool with no additional infrastructure investment or effort required. This means an organisation with dispersed UK sites can really be a national operation rather than a collection of regional offices. As job markets become evermore fluid, it also opens up the prospect of tapping into the international talent market quickly and with minimal cost.
Put this together with eploy's ability to deliver up-to-the-minute management information from multiple sites detailed by site, team and consultant (or to whatever level you need) when you want it, and you realise a web-integrated system is not just a database but a powerful business tool. Especially as eploy®'s management reports can be securely accessed from your mobile phone so you can make sure that activity on key campaigns is to the level you would expect even when you are out of the office.
Tried and tested web technology underpins the product making it secure, reliable and increasingly the first choice software of recruitment consultancies like Arrk Technical and major companies such as TOTAL and AIM listed business Charteris Plc. Being truly browser based software, upgrades are automatically installed, system glitches resolved and additional modules 'switched on' instantly 'behind the scenes'… so no more wasted downtime and visits from engineers. There is also no need to install any software other than your standard web browser to access it from any internet connected devise e.g. PC's, laptops, mobile phones PDA's etc.
Such benefits differentiate eploy® from other ASP products that take elements of traditional server-based software and bolt on tools to access them remotely. They may improve accessibility to the system but still require the high-level investment in servers, infrastructure and support.
No wonder industry commentators are increasingly voicing the opinion that this is the year in which web based recruitment software will come of age in the recruitment industry.
So organisations with a view on the future would do well to take true online recruitment technology seriously.
