Aurec

In the early days of Aurec’s journey to success, challenges arose around finding the right software platform for the company’s ever-changing needs. Over the years, Aurec have worked with some of the leading suppliers in the recruitment sector but became frustrated with the lack of development, features, and customer support offered. Aurec decided that in order to be agile it needed to be cloud-based in every system—infrastructure, accounts, and most importantly, its recruitment system.

This recruitment system would need to provide its recruitment consultants with the best available technology. It would also need to be locally supported, usable in international markets, capable of global expansion, and comprised of cutting-edge technology. One simple solution presented itself: move operations to the cloud. “We wanted to move to the cloud because we understood that’s where the future of software would be,” said Craig Bowater, Executive Director. “Doing so would lower our overheads on internal servers and other hardware, and we knew a cloud-based system would be able to grow with us.”

Aurec leveraged great value from the Bullhorn Marketplace, as it allowed the team to invest in best-of-breed software that answered specific business issues. Taking full advantage of LinkedIn integration for social media, Daxtra for CV searching, Ebsta for collaboration, and InsightSquared for reporting and analytics, Aurec now have a complete powerhouse solution that enables the company’s growth rather than holding it back.

Since implementation, Aurec’s time spent on data management has been reduced by a total of 40%, resulting in an annual saving of $342,500. Leads transferred to sales have become more efficient and resulted in a quantifiable improvement in closure rates of 5%, ultimately increasing yearly revenue by over $1.2M. Reporting has also never been faster with time savings of 25%, resulting in an estimated annual return of $93,000.

“We like the fact that Bullhorn and its integrated solutions are constantly updated and improved upon,” commented Bowater. “Since implementation, we’ve seen real and quantifiable improvements to our business. The bottom line is Bullhorn has allowed us to make more placements and, in our opinion, is the best system available on the market.”
