The story of software business Recruitment Systems is one of Canberra’s great export successes. Spun out of recruitment agency Candle (now Clarius Group), the company was an export powerhouse within its first three years of operating. A winner of one of the 2008 Chief Minister’s Export Awards, Recruitment Systems markets software to 20 countries from its HQ in Canberra.
Recruitment Systems’ flagship product is the TRIS Recruitment CRM which is used by recruiters and human resource managers to manage documents, contacts and workflow. To develop and redevelop the system, the company works with the recruitment industry to identify all processes that do not need the direct input of a real person. Then Recruitment Systems’ software developers in Canberra and in the company’s Russian offices develop systems to eliminate or automate these processes.
“We are continuously working to automate as much of the recruitment process as pos¬sible to leave the real work for real people,” says founder and chief executive officer Neil Bolton.
With the global financial crisis now hitting recruiters in Australia and New Zealand, Recruitment Systems is expanding abroad into high growth markets.
Late last year the company sent three staff to Dubai for the annual GITEX Technology week. This major tradeshow generated prospects from countries such as Yemen, Kuwait, South Africa, Lebanon and Uganda.
“We were amazed at the incredible demand for the TRIS Recruitment CRM across the Middle East and Africa” says General Manager Brent Juratowitch who is an active member of the ACT Exporters Network. Recruitment Systems in the last two months signed partnership arrangements with distributors in Malaysia and China to keep up with demand.
