The Power of a Staffing Software Ecosystem
There really is no one-size-fits-all staffing software. Every company and its needs are unique. You cannot force that uniqueness to work on the same platform every time. How, then, can you find a staffing solution that works for your particular company? Consider implementing a powerful staffing software eco-system for your agency, and discover the art of staffing.

Why One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Work
The idea of one system to handle everything for every type of staffing agency is a dream. It isn’t a reality for staffing agency owners because it’s almost impossible to find off-the-shelf software that “does it all,” especially when you target a specific vertical (or set of verticals). Your company has its own unique value proposition (UVP), and your policies, procedures, and software needs reflect that. Invest in a software eco-system, and you’ll be able to reach your goals and meet employee and client needs in a way that truly fits with your company.

Making a Staffing Software Eco-System Work for You
What is a software eco-system anyway, and how can you make it work for you and your staffing agency? When you hear the words software eco-system, it refers to a collection of software and systems that work together in the same environment. (In this case, your agency is the environment.) The software and systems you choose should integrate with one another, working harmoniously to help you achieve your business goals and objectives. There is no shortage of software and technology coming into the market every month. Much of it is appealing. Automation, streamlining, and other potentially valuable roles can be filled by selecting the right technologies. However, you should not invest in technology that does not work with the rest of your ecosystem, no matter what it promises to do for you.

The Beauty of Open API
How can you make sure your eco-system is cooperative? Software and technology with an open API is the key to creating a powerful and robust eco-system. With an open API, two software technologies can communicate with one another regardless of language or database, promoting easy integration. Generally speaking, to ensure integration, a piece of data should not need to be keyed in more than once within the same workflow cycle. By integrating everything from invoicing software to payment software, all of your technology will interact and share data in a way that works for you—and your bottom line. Can you imagine a software system that not only works efficiently but also saves you and your staff from daily repetition? The answer lies in thinking not of components, but of a software eco-system to make your goals a reality.
