from
a hosted recruiting system to a true on-demand talent management
Most recruiting systems today are hosted or ASP solutions. This
delivery method has brought costs down and made such systems
available to most companies. But there is an inherent conflict
between the ASP model and meeting the individual needs of a
client. ASP systems are not easily tailored to meet the exact
needs of every client. Each company’s recruiting process
has its own nuances and it is not uncommon to find several different
recruiting processes within a single organization – each
that will be best served by a separate niche application. Without
some form of customization, recruiting systems don’t perform
as well – or they perform well for one job category at
the expense of another.
How can an organization gain some customization while reaping
the benefits of the hosted delivery model? The typical solution
is to acquire an ASP system and surround it with support services
tailored to user needs. Many companies paying for premium
systems have made significant investments in workarounds,
spot solutions, and “enhancements” designed to
improve the system’s performance.

A premium system alone does not ensure a return, and
often requires other investments to ensure a reasonable level
of performance. Using the concepts of a value chain TalentFirst delivers a robust
on-demand Talent Management system that uses a value chain
to integrate spot solutions and services at those points where
they provide the maximum value. The recruiting system’s
value is enhanced in direct proportion to the degree it can
coordinate or deliver other services. The value chain tells
where to invest in order to leverage the entire process.

Service Is THE Key
The value chain construct tells us there are points within
a process where investments increase productivity, and that
identifying and investing in those points leverages returns.
While spot technical solutions abound, there is considerable
difficulty integrating them with an ASP solution. This means
the significant opportunity lies in leaving the software intact,
and accentuating leverage points with services. The lesson
here is that on-demand systems with a service-oriented open
architecture offer significantly more value than their competitors
due to the ability to complement the system with services.
TalentFirst delivers a solution that accomplishes exactly
that – delivering the right solutions and services,
tightly integrated, exactly where they are needed.
