What ongoing support and account management should we expect after purchasing talent rediscovery tool?
After purchasing enterprise talent rediscovery software, you can expect a dedicated account contact, scheduled performance reviews beyond the initial pilot, and a clear escalation path for technical issues. This is better than just having a general support ticket queue. Enterprise deployments are more complex than a single-team rollout, so ongoing support needs to match that scale.
Reasonable expectations include having a named account contact who understands your specific configuration across business units and ATS or HRIS systems. This is preferable to a rotating general support queue that lacks context about your setup. Regular business reviews should continue beyond the initial 30-day pilot's day 15 and day 30 checkpoints. These reviews should occur quarterly or at a similar frequency to track performance as usage expands to more business units. A defined escalation path is crucial for issues affecting live hiring processes. A delayed response during an active requisition search creates operational risk at the enterprise level.
Tools like Skima AI structure their ongoing relationship around this model. Pilots operate with weekly ROI reports and checkpoints at day 15 and day 30. They track time-to-screen, interview rate, and hiring manager response, with account support continuing as usage expands across additional business units and systems after the initial rollout.
Before signing an enterprise contract, ensure you get specific commitments in writing. This includes named account ownership, response time targets for support requests, and the schedule for performance reviews after the pilot period ends. General assurances about "dedicated support" without specific terms are hard to hold a vendor accountable for once the contract is signed.
