About this listen

Most recruitment agencies are using just a fraction of the tech they’re already paying for—and many are being upsold by MSPs (Managed Service Providers) on tools they don’t need.

In this episode of Talent Matters, we’re joined by Kan Mallawathantri, Founder of Avensys Tech and former in-house IT leader for recruitment businesses like MSI and DRC. Kan breaks down what most MSPs don’t tell you, the hidden tools inside Microsoft 365 that recruiters overlook, and how to stay lean, secure, and efficient without bloating your tech stack.


We cover:

  • Why most recruitment agencies only use 30% of Microsoft 365

  • The tools already in your licence that can replace Calendly, Dropbox, Slack, and more

  • How to automate onboarding, offboarding and compliance

  • Shadow IT and how it puts your agency at risk

  • What to ask when choosing an MSP—and what to avoid

  • Why Microsoft Copilot could change the way recruiters work

If you're a recruitment agency owner, ops lead, or marketer trying to cut costs while scaling your business, this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen to Talent Matters for honest conversations with recruitment leaders, tech experts, and marketers helping agencies grow.
