Recruitment in 2010

The Global Financial Crisis has had far-reaching consequences for most businesses, particularly those in the Recruitment Industry. Since the events of 2008 and the flow on effect through 2009, self-preservation has been the focus for many organizations, so that most recruitment companies are now leaner and meaner.

In the past, in tough times, management has been prepared to reduce staff numbers drastically, but the GFC has come hot on the heels of a major talent shortage. This has caused many to make a supreme effort to retain staff members and preserve their key talent pool. Other areas of the business have had to bear the brunt of cost cutting.

Assuming that the very worst is now over, the business community appears to be gearing up for a happier future, but with a very wary eye on the costs of managing growth.

At WorkDESK, our task is to partner with recruitment organizations, providing them with a complete recruitment software package. With everything needed to run the recruitment business in one neat product, costs can be trimmed. Consultants, payroll staff, administrators and management have all the information they need to make the best use of their working day and do better business using the resources they already have.

For large or small Recruiters, WorkDESK is the complete recruitment software package to keep costs down and power growth.

Improving Back Office procedures

WorkDESK has been developed by a team whose members include professionals with recruitment industry and professional accounting experience. The WorkDESK team understands that recruitment organizations need software to run their entire back office operations - from payroll and invoicing to creditor management and meaningful reports to ensure business profitability is being sustained. Superannuation, GST and Fair Work legislation are examples of Government initiatives that employers have to keep on top of. Recruitment organizations paying their own staff members, as well as large numbers of temporary and contract workers each week, need to know their software provider will provide them with the solutions they have to have.
