Dillistone Systems Incoming Orders Have More Than Doubled The Level Achieved Last Year

Dillistone Systems, the leading global supplier of executive recruitment software, announces that the firm has enjoyed an excellent start to the year, with incoming orders for FILEFINDER for the first four months to have more than doubled the level achieved during the same period last year.

(London & New York – June 7, 2010) Dillistone Systems, the leading global supplier of executive recruitment software, is proud to announce that the firm has enjoyed an excellent start to the year, with incoming orders for FILEFINDER for the first four months to have more than doubled the level achieved during the same period last year.

At the Annual General Meeting of Dillistone recently held, Mike Love, Chairman of Dillistone, made the following trading statement: "The directors of Dillistone ("Directors" or "Board") are pleased to report that the Company has enjoyed an excellent start to the year, with incoming orders in the first four months being more than double the level achieved in the equivalent period of last year.  While the market remains somewhat patchy, and prudently we should anticipate that some periods will be stronger than others, this positive start nevertheless gives the Board reason to believe that non-recurring revenues are likely to be higher in 2010 than in 2009.  As stated in our 2009 results, recurring revenue was the highest it had ever been in 2009 and we currently expect 2010 to exceed this level.”

"Dillistone remains debt free. Our ongoing investment in product development expenditure on FILEFINDER underlines Dillistone's commitment to maintaining a market leading position and makes the Board confident about the long term performance of the business. Given the Company's strong balance sheet, and subject to continued satisfactory trading, it is the Directors intention to maintain dividend payments in 2010 at 2009 levels," he stated.

After Implementing FILEFINDER 9, Stanton Chase Chile Delighted with its Executive Search Management System

Dillistone Systems, the leading global supplier of executive recruitment software, announces that Stanton Chase Chile, is delighted with its Executive Search Management System after having recently implemented the Spanish version of FILEFINDER 9.

(London & New York – June 7, 2010) Dillistone Systems, the leading global supplier of executive recruitment software, is proud to announce that Stanton Chase, a premier retained executive search firm in Chile, a  member of Stanton Chase International and a member of the AESC (Association of Executive Search Consultants), has recently implemented the Spanish version of FILEFINDER 9 as its Executive Search Management System.  

After reviewing several systems within the executive search market, “we selected FILEFINDER 9,” explains Ana Claudia Amar, Partner of Stanton Chase International in Chile, “because we believed that this was the system that best met our expectations and requirements.”
Now, after its implementation, FILEFINDER has proven to be an “integral tool in our firm’s future growth,” reports Ana Claudia. “The system is very intuitive and easy to learn. However, it is FILEFINDER 9’s first-rate support service that is the reason behind its success. The training sessions, despite being provided online, were excellent and the support given to the consultants on a daily basis has been extremely efficient. Whenever we needed Dillistone’s support, they would respond within 24 hours. This is very valuable since a lot of user questions tend to arise after the training sessions have finished.” 

Jason Starr, Managing Director of Dillistone Systems, expressed how content he was with Stanton Chase’s project implementation. He said: “We are delighted to have Stanton Chase Chile as a satisfied customer and we are proud to support FILEFINDER in a language which is native to them and many other firms in the Spanish-speaking executive search market. At Dillistone Systems, we strive to anticipate our client’s needs and exceed their expectations, but much of the success of “FILEFINDER 9 en Español” is owed to a community which was ready to use our globally established executive search system for their very established executive search practices.”

UK Job Site CVSearch.co.uk Extends Free Job Listings For All Recruiters

This month, www.cvsearch.co.uk has announced that they are extending their free job listing trail throughout May & June 2010!

CVSearch.co.uk was built with the aim to make the recruitment process as simple and easy as possible for recruiters, in partnership with its jobseeker portal www.cvdatabase.co.uk.
Since its launch, the site has attracted over 300 recruitment companies, listing over 1000 jobs. Managing Director Sam Rawson said “We’ve had a great response to the launch, with so many recruiters signing up and listing their vacancies, it’s given us a great base to attract jobseekers onto the site.”

From the middle of May www.cvdatabase.co.uk - the job seeking side of the site will be continuing a large marketing campaign. Rawson continued “We’ve got a great base of jobs on so far, so we’re going to give those jobs the maximum exposure we can. We’re putting all our resources into getting eligible candidates onto the site – this should really begin to show this month.”

CVSearch.co.uk has yet to unveil its secret weapon. “To give our site a unique selling point we have been developing a system for candidates to verify elements of their CV’s with an established background screening firm. We believe this will really give our site an edge on the competition as it benefits both job seekers, and employers.” Rawson explains “The cost is fronted by the candidate, as it will help give worth to their CV. For example they can verify the university degree they achieved - this is then reflected on their CV, and will help them stand out from other applicants. The benefit to recruiters are that they can rely on information the candidate has verified, and do not have to incur costs doing it themselves. We think this is a win – win situation in a candidate rich market.” This service is due to be available as of the beginning of June.

For more information, or to sign up for your free job listings, please visit www.cvsearch.co.uk
