Do you share our belief that recruitment success lies at the intersection between people and technology? Technology alone won\u2019t solve your recruitment problems or achieve your recruitment goals. You need human expertise to secure the best recruitment strategies, which is why Services-enabled Software will help your organisation grow. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like many hiring managers and recruitment professionals we know, you don\u2019t have a lot of time to spend learning new software, getting your team up to speed and ensuring all your users are making full use of your software\u2019s capabilities. Not to mention, your recruitment needs may fluctuate; there may be times you need an extra set of hands on deck and other times when you need to reduce your expenditure.<\/p>\n

Services-enabled Software is the best way to solve these challenges.<\/p>\n

What is Services-enabled Software (SeS)?<\/h3>\n

Most HR and recruitment technology providers deliver your software, wish you luck and send you on your way. They give you a bit of training and tech support and leave you to fend for yourself.<\/p>\n

Think about a basic gym membership without the bells and whistles, where you\u2019re left to DIY. An example of this type of software is Microsoft Office Suite \u2013 you purchase the software, and don\u2019t receive any other service or support, aside from some troubleshooting, reporting and updates.<\/p>\n

Software providers that sell software only is what\u2019s defined as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), where a provider\u2019s core business is delivering software for you to run independently.<\/p>\n

(Read more about the difference between Services-enabled Software (SeS)<\/a><\/strong> and Software as a Service (SaaS)).<\/p>\n

On the other hand, with Services-enabled Software (SeS) providers, the services they offer underpins their software.<\/p>\n

In continuing with the gym membership analogy, think about having a gym membership where you receive support from an experienced personal trainer. They’ll teach you how to use the equipment effectively and get the results you\u2019re seeking sooner, based on your unique goals.<\/p>\n

If that piques your interest, here are three ways SeS will help your organisation grow.<\/p>\n

1. SeS helps you get the most out of your software<\/h3>\n

Like those personal trainers, SeS providers offer services to strengthen and support their software so you get the most out of your system.<\/p>\n

At Scout Talent, being an SeS provider allows us to deliver the best outcomes for our users. Instead of simply buying a tool, our users partner with us maximise the use of their system and fill in their recruitment gaps when their teams need additional expertise.<\/p>\n

At Scout Talent, our users receive access to services in a number of ways, through access to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • a dedicated Account Manager<\/strong> \u2013 an experienced user of the system to do the heavy lifting to get you up and running and make recommendations based on your organisation\u2019s unique needs<\/li>\n
  • Tech Support Specialists<\/strong> \u2013 to optimise, fix and repair your system and provide solutions when you need it<\/li>\n
  • Recruitment Specialists<\/strong> \u2013from recruitment advertising and shortlisting & selection to employer branding, we have a range of specialists on hand, so you can supplement your existing team whenever you\u2019re under the pump.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Recruitment is human: SeS puts people at the forefront<\/h3>\n

    No matter what technology advancements we experience in our lifetime, one thing\u2019s for sure: recruitment will always be human. Success lies at the intersection between people and technology.<\/p>\n

    On this note, the future of recruitment will see recruitment functions becoming more and more specialised. Is your organisation and team prepared to make the move from generalised to specialist recruitment roles?<\/p>\n

    The thing is, if you implement a recruitment tech product and need help, for example, attracting more candidates, or interviewing candidates, you can\u2019t usually phone your software company to ask for help.<\/p>\n

    But with Scout Talent, you can. SeS puts people at the forefront, which is what we always strive to achieve.<\/p>\n

    3. Use your software, don\u2019t let it use you: SeS is tailored to suit your needs<\/h3>\n

    There are lots of software products out there that force you to change your processes to use it. For example \u2013 you may have to complete a requisition before you can advertise a job, or you have to use pre-set candidate status lists. This makes onboarding and the change management associated with implementing new software a lot harder.<\/p>\n

    Our tech (and our support services) are flexible and malleable. Rather than having to change your process to suit your tech, when you implement a Scout Talent product, our team will configure the product to suit your<\/em> process.<\/p>\n

    We empower you to use our software and services to suit your needs, instead of forcing you to make compromises or squeeze into a box.<\/p>\n

    Why choose an SeS recruitment provider?<\/h3>\n

    There\u2019s no doubt SeS recruitment providers give you a competitive edge.<\/p>\n

    To demonstrate the best reasons to choose an SeS recruitment provider, here\u2019s how Scout Talent delivers value to our clients:<\/p>\n
