Nashua, NH – October 9, 2008
Akken, (www.akken.com), the first All-in-One, on demand staffing and recruiting software provider was named one of two Rookie finalists by the Software Association of New Hampshire (SwANH) at its annual InfoXchange event held at SERESC in Bedford, NH, attended by NH Governor Lynch who handed out the awards.
Each year, the solutions provided by New Hampshire software producers are evaluated by a team of independent judges in three categories: Rookie, MVP, and International. After congratulating Akken on its achievement, Dave Todaro, chairman and treasurer of SwANH, said the event is held to "give visibility to star software companies in NH, while forwarding its mission of promoting the software industry and high-tech education in the state, and connecting software professionals through educational events held throughout the year."
Akken, a company launched in March 2005, began selling its flagship product, Akken Staffing™ in June 2007. Since then, the company has experienced dramatic growth from 4 to more than 270 clients.
More than just an applicant tracking system, Akken Staffing enables staffing and recruiting companies to operate their entire business with one software system, allowing them to be more efficient and effective in their sales and recruiting process while streamlining their human resources, billing, accounting and reporting functions.
"We are honored to have been chosen as a finalist and to compete head to head with such an established, award winning company as Bradford Networks" says Tim Quirk, Akken's VP of marketing. "We look forward to competing again next year."
