You Need Another Recruitment Tool?

The article argues that recruitment teams should scrutinize their existing “tech stack” before buying another tool, warning that overlapping subscriptions and unused seats can quietly inflate costs. It cites an example of 25 recruiters paying £15 per month for a scheduling tool—about £4,500 annually—and suggests checking whether Microsoft’s Business Standard package already includes appointment scheduling via the Bookings app. The piece also highlights how unused licenses can add up, noting eight spare seats at £25 per month. It recommends auditing what happens after calls: verifying whether telephony captures data into a CRM, and whether integration or AI transcription actually reduces manual entry.
