Konetic acquires privately held online recruitment software specialist RecruitActive. The two companies will combine to offer customers an extended product portfolio and increase their business reach as a single entity, operating under the Konetic brand. The agreement sees RecruitActive becoming a division of Konetic which strengthens the position of Konetic within the market. It benefits both companies’ installed base through joint investment in product development, combined industry knowledge and shared high calibre resources. Existing and future partners will gain additional products to satisfy their customer demands and technical support for all eventualities.
Speaking about the acquisition, Paul Finch, Managing Director of Konetic, comments, “This agreement extends our product portfolio and enables us to better serve our customers with a range of systems to suit every online recruitment requirement. Whether customers are looking for an out-of-the-box solution or a large scale bespoke implementation, we can deliver. Our two companies are quite similar in terms of business culture which is based on delivering excellent customer service. We look forward to combining our teams to benefit customers, forming a company that’s greater than the sum of its parts.”
Paul described the acquisition as “a very positive move for our clients and staff”. He continued, “This marks the start of an exciting growth phase for Konetic. This development is great news for clients who benefit from our growth in stature, product range, industry expertise and technical knowledge right from the off.”
“We will have the advantage of increased manpower and resources to bring more innovation and development of our products to our customers while still keeping the personal touch,” said Don McIntosh, now Divisional Director of Konetic (formerly Director of RecruitActive). “Not only will we benefit from economies of scale through this agreement, but our customers will receive improved value through greater investment in our product development. We are thrilled that we are now a part of something bigger and we are determined to be a leading light in the online recruitment market.”
