Westaff says bring I.T. on...!

Premier national recruiter, Westaff UK Ltd, is investing a considerable sum in the development and implementation of leading-edge technology - including bespoke front of house systems that will support its fast-growing business infrastructure for the futureÖ

According to managing director, David Mogford, the benefits will be apparent to the companyís clients and job seekers early in 2007 - as well as boost operational ease and effectiveness for the Westaff team:

ìWe are always looking for service enhancement that sets Westaff above its competitors,î he says ìand, want to focus our investment into technology that supports our team! This initiative is about giving our consultants the right tools to spend time on whatís important to our customers ñ whether employers or candidates and we want to ensure that, as the company embarks on its ambitious expansion phrase in 2007, our systems are 100% robust and able to accommodate the increased traffic and transactions that will accompany this growth.î

Partnering with RDB ProNet for this initiative, Westaff is also investing in significant training for its team to ensure that the capabilities of the new systems are understood and exploited to their full potential while also supporting a seamless ñ or glitch-free ñ transition between operating platforms.

ìWe realised extremely early on that we were investing in a way of working and to really deliver results to our front line services the system we chose needed to be compatible with our existing operation. By embracing technology ñ and the right one! ñ I believe weíve identified a strategic route to propel the company and its service quality abilities into an exciting new era,î Mogford adds.
