First choice software nets big fish

Rapid growth of start up recruitment agency for the marketing, design, advertising and PR industries - Big Fish Search & Selection - has led to the consultancy upgrading from RDB Start to a four user RDB Pro package. Supplied by leading recruitment software provider, First Choice Software (tel: 01256 314600), the four user set-up enables each consultant at this busy, forward thinking recruitment agency immediate access to all data, enabling more efficient use of the system for tracking, reporting, invoicing and mail shot purposes.

Recommended by a professional recruitment body, the decision to use First Choice Software was also influenced by the way the recruitment agency could use RDB Start to get up and running, and then move from the free software to the full RDB Pro when ready. Recognising the major benefits of using a bespoke recruitment package, founder of Big Fish Search & Selection, Nicola Kleinmann, explains: ìI wanted more than just a contact database and RDB Proís additional benefits, such as tracking all communications, allows accurate and efficient management of fast changing client and candidate records. We also make extensive use of the report and invoice function, and now regularly use RDB pro for mail shot purposes.î

Nicola continues: ìAs we now have a four user system, data is simultaneously stored in each consultantís notebook - proving especially useful when arranging interviews or meetings, as each consultant always has access to up to date candidate and client information. Additionally, as we recruit all over the country, one of the particularly useful features of RDB Pro is being able to search information by town and county.

ìRDB Pro is easy to use, and with First Choice Softwareís continuous training programme, we are constantly learning about RDB Proís different applications, making the running of the recruitment consultancy as efficient as possible.î
