One of the things that separates a great product from an adequate one is the manner in which the details improve the experience of the user. The data storage allowance available to all eBoss users is a perfect example of this. Users of the best recruitment software solution around may store crucial data on our servers, making their own businesses more efficient, versatile, and safe.
Uploading Data Protects It
Bad things happen to computers: criminals steal them, an unlucky lightning strike or an uncoordinated person spilling a liquid can fry them. When a computer disappears or is destroyed, the owner no longer has access to the data stored on it. While software can be re-purchased and reloaded onto new computers, the data – that contact information, job listings, and other essential and business-specific information – is often extremely difficult (if not impossible) to replace.
For a recruiter, this data is what enables him to do business. Losing the data is usually disastrous, and is always inconvenient. Additionally, imagine the blow a recruiter’s professional image takes if the firm is forced to contact clients requesting that all active job listings be re-sent and place ads urging candidates and existing employees to stop in and repeat the application process. All of this can be prevented simply by uploading important data to our remote server where it is protected from local disaster.
Uploading Data Makes Our Users’ Businesses more Efficient and Versatile
It is a simple truth that the more cluttered a computer is, the less efficient that machine is for the user. Wading through a tonne of excess files to find the one being searched for adds time to each task. Over the course of years, this added time may total a great deal of time indeed. By offering users a place to archive information, we allow them to use their own computer resources for the business at hand.
The remote storage also increases the versatility of our users. Imagine a recruiter having successfully convinced a new client to come on board, only to discover that he has run out of contracts. For an eBoss user who has stored the contract form on our server, any computer with Internet access and a supported browser can quickly print a copy in virtually any office. Since any data type can be stored, this versatility extends to reference materials, sales materials, pictures, forms, anything that can be stored on a computer and that having instant access to would be beneficial.
The eBoss team has not created an adequate product. With an eye to detail, every aspect of eBoss is designed to help a recruiter run a successful business. Our data storage allowance is just one small example of this fact.

Our statistics show that some people search for free recruitment software. Why pay for something when you can get it free. Well it appears to be a good enough reason. At first glance such an offer looks inviting. On closer examination the recruitment software that is generally offered free is only a small portion of what is provided when you purchase a recruitment software package. What does this mean? Well recruitment software is not something you buy in a box and that is it. The software is an evolving proposition backed up by constant service and upgrades. What would you do for example with your free recruitment software if you wanted to make a change to the system? Where would you put your request in? What happens if for example you wanted a new feature, lets say you wanted to tweet your jobs, who would you call to request this feature? What about hosting? To ensure firm foundations for your business one would assume you would want the system to have backup and disaster options in place.
Lets look at paid recruitment software, as an ongoing recurring payment you get an ongoing service. The vendor will want to keep your business and will have a team of support staff to ensure you get what you pay for. Failure to provide a robust support service could mean you can vote with your feet and move your business elsewhere. A good vendor will not tie you into a contract for this very reason. How would you feel in a 12month contract if after 1 month you realised your system was not supported appropriately. When you pay for your software you can hold the vendor accountable. The vendor by virtue of getting paid will invest the revenue in maintaining the system and upgrading it to ensure it remains a market leader and provides all the latest functionalities required by a recruitment consultancy.

It doesn’t suprise me that a lot of recruitment consultant do not avail of this technology, usually its because when it came out first, it was tried and because the results then were poor it was quickly abandoned as an unreliable technology, full of echos and dropped calls, like calling Australia in the 80′s.
These days things have improved enormously and VOIP now rivals fixed landlines as a worthy competitor. The best known VOIP providers have improved their technologies so that only half the bandwidth is required to provide twice the quality of previous versions. Our system is made up of VOIP hardware phones, just like a real phone, except it plugs directly into your modem, bypassing any issues that would cause your machine to slow it down. Our eBoss database system now comes with built in VOIP functionality, this means when you click on the phone number it automatically calls the number and records the event. Keeping it simple and quick, read more about it in software features.
