Technology Demo Notes

Call Notes 5.2.2019

  • How would you imagine an RPO utilizing this?

    • As an RPO, if this was introduced to a client, it would be an indiv. instance per client

    • Unique and customized to each client

    • Very hands on process: Appical goes onsite w/ key stakeholders @ client side and decide what the structure looks like. Call this the Onboarding Game. Map out timelines, content, etc.

  • Integration w/ most major ATS companies:

    • Oracle, Workday, if not integrated they should be and will make it happen

  • Global support?

    • Yes

    • Presence in the US, London, Asia office coming soon

    • GDPR compliant

    • Support multiple languages

  • What is the greatest differentiator in this over an onboarding piece within an ats?

    • Content

    • Most systems are set up for administration purposes, which does not give a true reflection of what the company is about

    • Better branding / personalization

  • Implementation?

    • Depends on how long it takes to collect content

    • 1 mo +

    • Onboarding Game

    • Mock-App

    • Review for changes

      • Always a work in progress

  • Contracts are 2-3 years long

  • What triggers the process? How does information get entered into Appical?

    • This would be mapped out in implementation, triggered from ATS
