We’ve all been there, that nagging feeling when you know that things are not all going well with your business systems. Yes they were great in the past and really revolutionised your business but now they are no longer cutting edge and you find yourself cringing when a new Consultant starts and you have to explain how the systems ‘work’.

On top of this, your competitors have moved ahead with new systems that offer greater functionality and genuine integration between front end Recruitment and the back office Payroll & Invoicing allowing them to be more efficient than your team could ever be with your current systems.

At RecruitOnline we see these situations all too often, with Owners and Managers of Recruitment Agencies typically using multiple different software systems, across multiple offices to run their businesses. Whilst most of these disparate systems do most of what they need, they don’t give a consolidated view of the business.

As they grow, their systems and processes aren’t robust enough to keep pace with the rate of expansion. They stall. 

A recent example of where RecruitOnline has been able to help a client transition from their legacy system is New Zealand based Onestaff. Onestaff operates 14 branches across NZ and is …

In commenting on the move to RecruitOnline Jon Ives (CEO Onestaff) said “With our previous system we were finding that everything was taking more and more time to do. There was no seamless integration and both clients and candidates had to use a number of different systems to interact with our business which gave them a poor user experience. On top of this, our legacy system was client-server based so in addition to our licence fees for the system we had significant expense in having to run our own network to support it. With our move to RecruitOnline, we now have a truly integrated solution where candidates can seamlessly register online, be placed into roles and everything flows all the way through to our back office system.”

In commenting on the Onestaff project, Declan Rowan (Co-Founder RecruitOnline) said “Though the Onestaff project was complex we were able to deliver go-live on time (8 weeks after contract sign off) and on budget. We’re delighted to have Onestaff onboard as a customer and provide them a proven platform to run their business efficiently, and scale.”

Getting systems right for your Agency is essential to its long term viability. Changing systems can seem daunting but if you currently find yourself in the same situation that Onestaff were in then it might just be worth your time exploring what other recruitment system options there are in the marketplace.
