We have started to upgrade our interface to MS OUTLOOK in our recruiting software. OUTLOOK is has a tremendous usage (might want to say “OUTLOOK has tremendous value and most executive search recruiters are already using it”) Most executive search recruiters evaluating recruiting software are already using OUTLOOKThey are heavy users of OUTLOOK but they have exhausted the limits of OUTLOOK as a recruiting tool. However, they want to continue using some of the OUTLOOK features. The challenge for recruiting software is to provide the recruiter with recruitment software that blends the use of OUTLOOK with their recruiting software. The real challenge for us vendors is some tasks performed by OUTLOOK are best done by a recruiting system whose primary focus is Applicants/Candidates and Clients.

So we have a customer who definitely needs more recruiting software power, but they are desperately hanging on to features in OUTLOOK. They want to continue using them because they are comfortable with them. Change is always traumatic and downtime can be expected. Downtime for a recruiter can be catastrophic. Good recruiting/staffing software needs to adapt into an OUTLOOK environment and the recruiter must be able to continue sometimes less effective steps than if they were to abandon OUTLOOK all together. Efficiency is not necessarily the final word for a recruiter to be successful.
