Total Back Office Solutions can give you recruitment agency formation advice

Those trying to set up a recruitment agency may be interested to learn that a new system has just been released to simplify lead generation.

The technology - My Resourcer.com - monitors specified websites for updates in vacancies and collates them for the recruiter.

This could then cut down time recruiters spend on lead generation by reducing time spent on activities such as cold calling.

Those looking to reduce their admin time further may benefit from outsourcing back office needs, thereby allowing the focus to remain on client care.

Bradley Placks, managing director at MyResources.com, said: "[The technology is designed] to offer recruiters a viable solution that will not only save them time, but deliver the leads they are regularly striving to find."

Last week, figures from Centre for Economic and Business Research showed that unemployment is set to continue to increase over the next five years, particularly in the northern counties.
