Used Outdated Tools to Make Innovative IT Placements

Compu-Vision, a dynamic IT consulting enterprise headquartered in Kendall Park, NJ, serves Fortune 1000 companies across the United States. Driving innovation and technology expertise, Compu-Vision focuses on delivering advanced technology consulting solutions that enable their clients and trading partners to operate, interoperate, and compete more effectively.

Ironically, Compu-Vision was using rudimentary recruitment tools to place their highly skilled consultants. "We were pretty typical, using Outlook and Excel to manage most of our business," observes Dmitry Tsitselyuk, vice president of business development.

The system did not have the ability to share candidate, client and job order opportunities across the company. Additionally, it was difficult for their sales and recruiting staff to find information quickly and they could not enter and store candidate and client information where everyone could access it. Put simply - not having one, integrated system was preventing them from working efficiently as a team.

Recognizing the Need for Change

It became clear that Compu-Vision needed a system that allowed everyone to access client, candidate and job information in real-time and to be able to track that information with ease.

"After conducting in depth evaluations of the leading staffing software available," says Tsitselyuk, "it became clear none of them were able to compete with the capabilities and cost efficiencies of Akken. It's a great service."

Since it began using Akken Staffing, Compu-Vision is able to share information between the sales, recruiting, and consulting teams with ease. All emails are tracked to candidate and client records automatically; candidate records are created from parsing resumes; and all candidate, client and job order information is stored and accessible in one system.

The Akken Staffing Solution

"Akken allows us be more efficient," says Tsitselyuk. "Because we can access and enter information quicker and easier, we can place our consultants in jobs faster than our competitors."

The all-in-one integrated software also allowed Compu-Vision to build and sustain a robust information system that provides real-time information on leads and customers. To Compu-Vision, this is one of its biggest assets. Having a powerful and secure information database not only gives Compu-Vision short-term success, it provides a solid foundation for the long-term.

"Any company that's looking to grow needs a system that is flexible enough to grow with them - something that Akken Staffing allows us to do with ease," notes Tsitselyuk. "Overall, the Akken team provides great service. And it's all at an unbeatable price. I would highly recommend Akken to any company looking for a new software solution for their staffing company."
