ARQA International growing up fast with the direct help of Access Recruitment CRM
Marrying process with an effective CRM recruitment tech solution
Located on separate continents with its resulting differing timezones will present any business with some challenges. Established in 2020, start-up recruiter, AQRA International, wanted to start out on the best possible footing as it made headway in delivering staff to US civil infrastructure market.
With offices in Houston, Texas and London, the business needed a forward-thinking, proven and robust tech solution to enable consultants to build relationships, whilst in the background the tech was replacing any manual processes.
The team delivered its Access Recruitment CRM product that brought AQRA International assuredness and resilience, whilst offering dynamic working and so many possibilities for the future.
What our customers say
As a start-up permanent recruiter located in UK but placing candidates mainly in US infrastructure in Texas, Florida and the North East regions of the USA, we had lots of decisions to make. Some choices would be defining factors to help us grow. One of them is the implementation of recruitment technology to ease operational efficiency and make us effective in attracting clients and attracting passive candidates.
Having been recommended the portfolio of solutions by a mutual colleague within the recruitment industry, we met the team at Access Recruitment and we knew their Recruitment CRM was for us.
Process is really important to me and having worked in fast-moving temp recruitment, I realised the value of good tech over manual processes. The Access Recruitment CRM helped us with the gaping tech gap we had and our software is now the totem around which the business is built.
Keeping ahead in a busy market - globally
In the field in which AQRA International work, it’s a candidate sparse market. Building relationships and having a CRM that kept the team in touch has proven to have aided the business as it has grown. The quality of the data in the CRM was hugely important. Now, consultants can instantly access candidates in their CRM and are able to identify their employment situation without fuss. Such passive candidates are now driving AQRA International – enabling the business enhanced opportunities to introduce clients with our registered job seekers.
What our customers say
Our feedback from clients is excellent in terms of understanding candidates that will make a difference to their business and our tech has played an influential hand in that.
Our CRM is central to everything we do day-to-day. Labour intensive processes are a thing of the past. Our consultants are busy building relationships, so when we need to find a candidate with some niche skills, we can find them in our Access Recruitment CRM, and connect in minutes.
Looking ahead to the future
AQRA International is on an upward trajectory. Efficienices are up and there’s increased day-to-day effectiveness. The team has grown by over 300% since 2020 meaning the consultants can focus on nurturing relationships rather than manual tasks.
What our customers say
It’s fair to say, we’re maximising our recruitment tech. To stay ahead, we have to use the best tech available.
We are pleased that we have partnered with Access Recruitment. There’s some really good people in their business always looking out for agencies like us. We are growing quickly and we are now looking at other markets, partly because of the speed we can place them. You can’t do that without an adequate tech solution from a forward-facing tech partner. When we started in 2020, there was just three of us and now we're employing 14 full time consultants. In the next couple of years, we’ll double in size and move into new geographic markets, too. One area we are looking at is contracting, so we’ll be leaning on Access’ portfolio to build our presence in this arena too.
