HR Capitalist Definitions: "Bespoke" (as Used in Corporate America)
February 19, 2020
I'll start you off with the regular definition, which is what you know:
--------------------------------------------------
be·spoke
/bəˈspōk/
--made for a particular customer or user.
"a bespoke suit"
--making or selling bespoke goods, especially clothing.
"bespoke tailors"
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Sounds awesome, right? You're going to customize it to fit me? Could not be better! Thank you!
But there's a slippery slope going on in the corporate world. Providers, especially of technology solutions, are increasingly referring to implementations that aren't supported or standardized as "bespoke".
Which is code for, "this could go horribly wrong and cost much, much more in both time and expense than you're ready for."
Here's how you'll see it referred to:
"Our solution has a standardized integration for iCIMS and Workday. For bespoke implementations, we offer webservices SOAP API to utilize the functionalities of integrated ATS systems".
Translation: This is going to hurt you more than it hurts us.
But we're using the word "Bespoke" to make it sound like you're getting a custom suit from a London tailor.
If someone uses the word "Bespoke" with you to describe an integration, they're talking down to you and downplaying the level of sh#t you're going to deal with.
Proceed with caution.

You're right about making or selling bespoke goods, especially clothing. I have ordered several dresses & satisfied with them all. The quality isn't exceptional but when you considered the cost of the dresses ( most under £20) then I feel they are a good deal.

Thus, the savings due to the growth in the volume of services provided, significant experience increase the company's competitiveness. Large companies in the market have competitive advantages - an increase in the volume of services provided leads to lower costs and the emergence of an opportunity to reduce prices. This, in turn, means the possibility of further increasing the volume of services provided, for more visit https://www.mindk.com/industries/fintech/
