DILLISTONE GROUP PLC
("Dillistone" or the "Company")
Implementation of Existing Contract
Dillistone, the AIM quoted supplier of recruitment software, has successfully implemented a contract for a global FILEFINDER software system with DHR International Inc ("DHR"), an international executive search firm.
DHR is considered to be one of the leading executive search firms in the World. Estimates in respect of 2008 published by Kennedy Information in the April 2009 edition of Executive Recruiter News positioned the Chicago based firm as the 5th largest retained search firm in the US and the 12th largest in the World, by revenue.
The FILEFINDER 9 implementation spans each of DHR's 48 integrated offices around the World. It allows each member of DHR's global team to have full access to information on searches, candidates and clients, in real-time.
Marissa Martin, Vice President of Global Research for DHR commented "The implementation of FILEFINDER across our organization was a significant initiative for our business. We are growing rapidly on a global scale, opening 9 new offices in the last year, and our commitment to quality is such that we require a recruiting technology infrastructure capable of underpinning this expansion. After an extensive review of the market, we decided that Dillistone's FILEFINDER application would offer us a global combination of stability, functionality and flexibility. We have been live for a number of weeks and are delighted with the results of a global knowledge management and CRM system."
Jason Starr, Managing Director of Dillistone commented:
"In the economic climate of the last couple of years, very few retained executive search firms have been prepared to make the kind of investment in infrastructure which DHR has done. Since commencing the project at the turn of the year, we have been tremendously impressed by DHR's commitment to getting the project right, to investing in its users and to delivering a global technology platform which would maximise benefits to its own clients. Our partnership with DHR has seen us work together to deliver a globally integrated database across 48 offices and 3 continents in less than 8 months, and we are delighted and proud of the success this partnership has achieved."
