The companies are changing their hiring trend from the traditional manual recruitment procedure to an electronic format. This has been possible with the introduction of intelligent solutions that can help the companies to pick the best with minimum human intervention.

The next question faced by the recruiters is the induction of such solution into their system. At this junction most of companies find a deadlock as its not possible for them to choose the right path. The bottlenecks are created because of the gaps in the decision matrix.

The various parameters effecting the decision making process:

• Budget: Definitely cost is one of the parameter that drives the business decision. In SaaS the cost of ownership is low as the application is hoisted at the Vendor’s server. The client does not have to bear the maintenance expenses and by signing Service Level Agreement (SLA), the company can minimise the risks of failure and downtime.
• Time: The hosted solutions consume a recommendable time for installation and configuration. It depends on the time the company can devote for deployment. This parameter is critical for organizations who want to kick start the operations within specified time lines.


• Technical know-how: To run any application one needs a dedicated resource along with the expertise in handling that service. The companies use so many third party applications that it becomes difficult for them to reproduce the resource for installation and maintenance.


• Future Scenario: Every company wants to match their pace with the changing technology. If application is once installed it will transfer into a stalled solution after few years. But SaaS companies do provide upgrades and technical support on real time scenario as they are consistently working over their business logic to make it more adaptable and scalable.


• Scope of Customization: Most of the SaaS applications are available on as-is basis as there is no scope of customization. SaaS solutions are made for masses where the same application is serving the clients across the globe via worldwide internet.


• Type of Usage: The SaaS applications are web based on demand solutions that can be accessed via public connectivity. If the data is intrinsic to the organization and confidentiality is the concern, the company should go for the hosted solution. Moreover the hosted application can be accessed via offline mode using the intranet connectivity. Hence no data sharing with any third party.
  

The above mentioned architect has been provided on the basis of usability and availability of resources. The recruiters can choose any of the solution depending on the business model of their company.
