Recruitmax continues global expansion

Provider of Workforce Management Technology and Services will Service Growing Number of Regional and Multinational Clients from New Location

Recruitmax, today announced that it has opened its Asia Pacific headquarters in Sydney, Australia.

In addition to serving its growing roster of customers and partners in this region, Recruitmax’s Asia Pacific headquarters will play a major role in helping the company to win and support new multi-national accounts. The Asia Pacific headquarters is staffed by a local team that provides sales, technical support, training and consulting. The local staff will also foster relationships with technology and service providers throughout the region.

Like EMEA, we are committed to this growing market, said Derek Mercer, Recruitmax founder and CEO. Our international clients are already using our products throughout the world and, with the addition of our Asia Pacific headquarters in Australia, we continue to build on our reputation for high-touch service, worldwide.

Peter Earnshaw heads the new office. Earnshaw spent a number of years building clientele for major providers of recruiting software and services where he oversaw operations in Sydney and Asia. There are enormous opportunities here, said Earnshaw. Companies are growing rapidly and can’t afford to miss out on hiring and retaining top talent. Recruitmax has products to more efficiently recruit, onboard and manage performance while improving workforce quality. Local Recruitmax clients include consulting giant BearingPoint and software developer AutoDesk, among others. Recruitmax products also mesh easily with Seek.com.au and MyCareers.com.au, two of Australia’s largest job boards.

Recruitmax has been recognised by industry analysts as one of the leading suppliers of workforce management technology and services in North America. Fueled by impressive revenue growth over the past two years, Recruitmax has been aggressively expanding into new regions. In 2004, it opened its EMEA headquarters and international data center in London where it currently hosts local European customers. With more than 100 certified professional services consultants, Recruitmax now has resources on four continents with experience implementing HR software in more than 54 countries.

We continue to deliver results in our new markets, said Andrew Geisel, Recruitmax vice president of International Business Development. Geisel was the former director of International Business Development at PeopleSoft where he spent three years building the company’s Asia Pacific business. This market presents a tremendous opportunity as companies continue to recognise the need for integrated workforce management solutions that help companies differentiate themselves through their people.
