"We are using Jobpartners' online recruitment tool, ActiveRecruiter, to streamline our recruitment process through bootsjobs.com. Our new recruitment site is helping us to build a stronger employer brand and attract the best talent to our business," commented Susie Maskell, Talent Manager at Boots. "By using the online tool, we have already seen a number of benefits including increased efficiency and consistency in our hiring process. Even at this early stage we are benefiting from reduced administration and hiring costs."

"Attracting, developing and retaining people are instrumental to any organisation's growth and success," commented Patrice Barbedette, founder of Jobpartners.

This holistic approach, which has been termed the 'third wave of e-recruiting' by IDC, is vital for competitive advantage. Our impressive growth over the past 12 months supports IDC's recognition of our leadership in this area."
