What are ASP, SaaS-Delivered or Cloud-Based Recruitment Systems?

Recruitment Systems

An ASP (Application Service Provider) is the old terminology for what is now known as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), "on-demand" software and lately "Cloud-based" software.

How Cloud-based software works:

The model incorporates the vendor (a third party), which manages and distributes software-based services and solutions to customers remotely over the Internet. The user of the service uses a browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, to access the resources through their Internet connection, in real-time, 24 hours a day.

TurboRecruit software is a good example of the SaaS delivery model, wherein the vendor takes care of all maintenance, upgrades and backups to ensure peak performance of the software.

Benefits:

  Extra stability and security: through the high performance global Tier-1 network; this is why the majority of corporate clients choose this solution.

  The convenience and affordability of payment based on a monthly investment: rather than a one-off lump sum.

  Faster and easier to implement than the traditional client/server model, where access is obtained by a program on the client's computer and the shared data is stored on the company's server.

What does a Cloud User Think?

“Now that our processes have been streamlined we are seeing some massive time savings. We now have a system that stores resumes which can be searched on, candidate details are relevant and up to date and we can quickly and easily access these details and the candidate resumes.

We can communicate with candidates in a more effective manner and provide candidates with feedback on the progress of their applications.

The productivity and time savings have translated into a significant return on investment.”
