We are a well established executive search consultancy based in Europe with 22 franchised offices each with their own solution for contact management of clients and candidates, some more sophisticated than others. Currently with limited pooling of resource from day to day recruitment activity.

As General Manager of the existing network and looking at our planned expansion, I am exploring the best of breed solutions for data mining, CRM, CV and job order parsing etc – complete solutions for bringing our technology inline with current offerings which will increase productivity, efficiency and subsequent improvement of consultant billings either directly or via inter office referrals (IORs). A package that we would endorse for new recruitment franchisees to take on board…..

I am open to look at solutions to be implemented in each individual office, for a centralised offering to be “shared” by all, and/or hosted application. The door really is open as long as we find the best the recruitment industry is currently offering.

I am looking for guidance. Who in the market currently provides a solution to our needs?
