About this episode

Nitin speaks with Kan Mallawathantri, founder of Managed Service Provider Avensys Tech, about how recruitment business owners can optimise their Office365 subscriptions to reduce costs. Kan explores the untapped potential within existing Office365 accounts that many recruiters overlook, including automation, security and efficiency features that duplicate paid tools.

The conversation covers practical comparisons between Microsoft Bookings and Calendly, how to maximise Office365 licensing, and the benefits of outsourcing IT management rather than handling it in-house. Kan shares cost-effective IT solutions tailored for recruitment firms, helping owners streamline technology without compromising functionality or needing dedicated staff.

Key takeaways

  • Many recruiters pay for tools they already have access to within their Office365 subscription.
  • Microsoft Bookings offers built-in calendar functionality that can replace paid alternatives like Calendly.
  • Outsourcing IT management to an MSP allows agency owners to focus on business growth instead of troubleshooting.
  • Office365 includes automation, security and efficiency features that can reduce overall software spending.
  • Strategic IT management helps recruitment firms cut costs while maintaining or improving operational functionality.
