Online recruitment software provider, Colleague set up emergency helpline for Recruiters

Colleague set up emergency helpline for Recruiters worried About Software Providers closing

Leading recruitment software provider, Colleague, have introduced an emergency helpline offering help and advice for any recruitment company whose software provider has ceased trading or been put into administration.

Conditions brought about by the credit crunch have already pushed many thousands of small businesses into administration and the recruitment software sector will almost certainly be affected. Colleague have put resources in place to be able to help recruitment companies who are left exposed by the closure of their existing software provider, and can step in at very short notice.

Will Minns, Managing Director of Colleague, explains: ìThere has already been one casualty in the recruitment software industry and I expect there will be others. Recruitment consultants rely on their software systems and if anything happens which jeopardises the continuity of their system it can be catastrophic for them. Weíre ready to help any company who find themselves in that situation and quickly get them moving again.î

Colleague recently undertook one installation with the whole process from the initial enquiry to having a fully operational system with trained users taking less than a week to complete.

As well as the ability to move fast, Colleague will also install their system and train the users without charging any installation or set-up fee. Something very few software providers are prepared to do.

Will Minns continued: ìIf youíve paid up-front for a system that is now unsupported because the provider has gone out of business the last thing you need is a big installation fee for your new software. Weíre very confident that once youíve tried Colleague youíll stay with us for a very long time so unlike some of our competitors weíll migrate your databases, configure your system and train your users without hitting you with a set-up charge.î

The Colleague Emergency Helpline number is 01603 735937.
