The SThree collaboration will leverage end-to-end integration with Microsoft’s platforms and technologies, including Dynamics 365, Azure AI, Azure Analytics, Azure SQL, Azure Compute, Azure Containers, Azure Security, Microsoft 365 and the Microsoft Power Platform. 

The programme represents a strategic rethink of SThree’s operations, blending its specialist STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) recruitment expertise with Microsoft’s advanced systems integration.

“At its core, this will empower SThree’s people by refining its recruiters’ daily tasks, allowing for greater personal interactions, and building the sector-specific knowledge that is core to the group’s expertise,” the company said.

“The integration of Microsoft’s solutions is designed to make SThree’s operations smarter. This technological upgrade simplifies many behind-the-scenes tasks, like finding and training consultants, making deals with clients and handling billing.”

The collaboration between the two companies focuses on four key areas:

• Accelerating digital integration: This collaboration is incorporating digital tools and automated practices into SThree’s daily operations
• Creating market solutions: using data-driven talent algorithms through Azure analytics, customised career platforms using the Microsoft Power Platform and flexible workforce tools driven by Dynamics 365 to transform talent management, SThree will be able to match individuals with the right opportunities even more efficiently
• Enhancing data analysis and visualisation: The integration of Azure Analytics and Microsoft 365 software, SThree will be transforming how it interprets and utilises data enabling more informed decision-making, while sophisticated visualisation will help uncover sector insights and trends, significantly impacting strategic planning
• Promoting responsible and ethical technology use: Ensuring that SThree’s workforce adopts digital technologies, including AI, through Azure AI, in a manner that is both ethical and responsible.

This initiative marks a “pivotal evolution for SThree”, the company said.
