Vurv Technology formerly Recruitmax, Signs The Spirit Group

Demand For Best-of-Breed HR Technology Continues

Vurv, a global leader in technology and services for building great workforces, announced today that it had added the Spirit Group to its growing list of clients in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The Spirit Group will use Vurvís Corporate Edition (CE) recruiting and Beyond vendor management applications to improve these two key human resources processes.

CE will help the Spirit Group hire permanent, temporary and contract employees faster. This award-winning product ensures companies find and screen job candidates more efficiently and streamlines other parts of the recruiting pipeline.

Beyond will help coordinate the Spirit Groupís use of providers of recruiting services. Effective vendor management has been increasingly important for large companies. Vurvís best-of-breed system delivers rapid and significant ROI by helping companies achieve greater visibility, efficiency and control in managing services spending.

Spirit Group is the managed division of Punch Taverns, the UK’s leading pub company with over 9,600 pubs nationwide. There are 1,820 pubs, bars and restaurants within Spirit Group including market leading concepts Two For One, Chef & Brewer John Barras, Wacky Warehouse, Q’s, Bar Room Bar and several gastro pubs.

The Spirit Group are dedicated to making sure their customers leave their pubs wanting to return. In order to achieve this they are guided by their main principle which is their people; who they are committed to recruiting and retaining the very best.

ìWe are pleased to welcome The Spirit Group as a client,î said Darren Jaffrey, general manager EMEA for Vurv Technology. ìThey share the same philosophy as Vurv that long-term success comes only when organisations show determination about attracting and retaining talent and when they invest in the right tools to achieve this goal.î

The agreement highlights Vurvís surging business in EMEA. Since opening its London headquarters, the company has signed more than a dozen European enterprise clients and announced partnerships with leading consulting firms.

ìAround the world, Vurv is rapidly cementing its reputation as one of the worldís most innovative providers of HR technology,î Mr. Jaffrey said. ìWe expect our strong results to continue for the foreseeable future.î
