Point Solutions vs. Integrated Platform

Speed & Timeliness of Data 1

data updates are always delivered immediately and stay in sync. When a Candidate edits their resume, their profile is automatically updated in the CRM and Talent Community. Notes are entered by a Recruiter, and immediately available to the hiring team, so everyone is aware of next steps, and activity is logged.

With an integrated approach…

make data syncing and timeliness of the data updates a challenge. Even the best integrations experience time delays that cause confusion when a Recruiter can’t view the latest piece of feedback on a candidate or, if a Hiring Manager is behind in the workflow.

Disparate systems…

IT Resources 2

Require little or no IT involvement. Updates are pushed to the cloud and your application is updated automatically. With a complete solution, no major integrations with existing solutions are needed – everything is designed to work together from the start.

All-in-one cloud applications…

Require heavy involvement from your IT department to integrate, maintain and update new versions. With new versions releasing at separate times, there’s risk that subsequent integration and maintenance will be required to patch the latest versions together.

3 Levels of Reporting

generates its own reports, in its own format, which don’t talk to each other. So, you can’t get an accurate overall view of your recruiting efforts without a lot of manual consolidation.

Each point-solution… A single platform….

drives better hiring outcomes when analytics are weaved throughout. For example, connect employee performance data with their source of hire reports to predict where your best candidates will come from in the future.

only solve part of the mobile job search process. 30% of candidates begin their job search on a mobile device at the career website. But they’re forced to go to their desktop computer to create a resume, upload, and apply.

Most recruiting solutions… A fully responsive platform…

allows candidates to apply from their mobile devices with no apps to download. Plus… Employees actively refer their social connections from their tablets at home. Hiring managers can provide interview feedback while bouncing from meeting-to-meeting.

5 Opportunities for Collaboration

Communication can be lost between Hiring Managers & Recruiters… A forgotten email, or an unsaved Excel spreadsheet means miscommunication. Employee Referral Programs go underutilized if employees don’t have an easy way to refer jobs to their network.

With separate solutions… A single platform….

All activity, notes, emails, approvals, and endorsements are tracked within one database. So, Hiring Managers & Recruiters stay in sync, and Employees can check the status of their referrals.

require users to learn multiple sets of commands and menu structures for each application’s unique interface. What’s worse - lack of training results in lack of use.

6 Beautiful User Interfaces

Multiple point-solutions… The beauty of an integrated platform…

gives users just one system to learn. Once they learn commands in one functional area, they can apply them across the features of the entire platform. Modern enterprise software is mobile and intuitive, just like social applications that employees are familiar with.

Positive Candidate Experience 7

result in a negative experience for candidates, especially during the application process. Extra steps and redundant forms begin to tarnish your employer brand, and candidates start to question how modern the company really is.

Cobbling together solutions… The latest all-in-one solutions…

allow you to simplify the login and apply process by collecting candidate’s social information. Plus, Alumni and Silver Medalists are remembered in the community, making re-applying a breeze.
