IT Managed Services for HR and Recruitment • Blisstech Solutions

Technology has significantly impacted businesses involved with human resources, changing how HR and recruitment organisations and professionals operate.

Technology has automated many administrative tasks, has made it easier for HR and recruitment professionals to communicate with clients, and has made it easier to collect and analyse data to improve decision-making in recruitment, performance management, and compensation.

This means HR and recruitment consultancies rely heavily on technology, which needs to work.

There are many reasons why HR and recruitment organisations should work with an IT-managed service provider (MSP) like Blisstech Solutions.

Here are some of the most important:

  • To free up their time and resources to focus on their core competencies: HR and recruitment consultants are experts in their field and may not have the time or expertise to manage their IT infrastructure. By working with an MSP, they can offload these responsibilities to a team of experts, freeing them up to focus on what they do best.
  • To improve the security and reliability of their IT systems: MSPs have the expertise and resources to keep IT systems secure and reliable. This is important for HR and recruitment businesses, as they hold clients’ confidential and personal data that needs to be protected from cyber threats and data loss.
  • To reduce their IT costs: MSPs can often provide IT services at a lower price than if the HR and recruitment businesses were to manage their own IT infrastructure in-house.
  • To access the latest IT technologies and practices: MSPs are constantly learning and investing in the latest IT technologies, meaning that HR and recruitment businesses can access the latest tech and knowledge without investing in it themselves.
  • To get help with compliance issues: MSPs can help HR and recruitment businesses stay compliant with industry regulations, such as GDPR, which is essential, as non-compliance can lead to significant fines and reputational damage.

Here are some additional benefits of working with an IT MSP for HR and recruitment businesses in the UK:

  • Expert advice: Blisstech Solutions has a team of experts who can advise on various IT issues, such as security, compliance, and disaster recovery.
  • Responsive support: Blisstech Solutions offers a first-class support service, meaning accountants can get help when needed.
  • Scalability: Blisstech Solutions can scale its services to meet the needs of growing businesses. This means accountants can be confident that Blisstech Solutions will meet their technology needs as their business grows.

That long password isn’t keeping you better protected

Even passwords of 15 characters can be cracked by cyber criminals. Our latest tech update explains what to do instead

How to create secure passwords

How to create secure passwords

Weak passwords are one of the biggest security risks to your business.
Why?
Because cyber criminals are getting smarter than ever before. If they manage to crack just one password, they could gain access to your sensitive business data, financial information, or even gain control of your entire system.
Cyber criminals use automated tools to guess passwords, allowing them to try out millions of combinations in seconds. So, if you’re using something like “Password123” or “CompanyName2025”, you’re practically handing them the keys to your business.
A compromised password can lead to big issues, such as:
• Data breaches
• Financial losses
• Identity theft
• Reputation damage
But how do you create strong passwords without driving yourself (and your team) mad?
Think of your password like a secret recipe, where only you should know the ingredients. It should:
• Be at least 14 characters long (the longer, the better)
• Include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
• Contain a few numbers and symbols (like @, $, %, or &)
• Not contain any common words or easily guessable information (like birthdays, names, or the word “password”)
Instead of using a single word, you could try a passphrase – a short, random sentence that only you would understand. For example, instead of “Sailing2025”, try something like “Coffee&CloudsAreGreat9!”. This is much harder to crack, yet still easy to remember.
You should also steer clear of these common mistakes:
• Using personal info (your name, birthday, business name, etc.)
• Reusing the same passwords across multiple accounts
• Using simple sequences (“123456” or “abcdef”)
• Storing passwords in an easily accessible place (like a sticky note on your desk)
If remembering unique passwords for every account sounds impossible, there is another option: Password managers. These generate strong passwords, store them securely and autofill them for you.
With a password manager, you only need to remember one strong master password for the manager app itself. The rest are encrypted and stored safely, reducing the risk of data breaches.
Even the strongest password isn’t foolproof, which is why multi-factor authentication (MFA) is also important. MFA requires a second form of verification, like a one-time code sent to your phone or generated from an authentication app.
If you have employees accessing your business systems, it’s a good idea to have a password policy in place to explain your rules and why they’re important. This should include:
• Unique passwords for each system and account
• Regular security training on password best practices
• Business-wide use of MFA for critical systems
• Scanning for compromised passwords regularly
By making password security a priority, you can reduce the chances of a cyber attack creating a nightmare for your business.
