New contracts with Adecco and PERSOLKELLY
Two of the largest recruitment agencies in the world selected Applyflow’s technology to power their recruitment websites and job boards in multiple regions under SaaS framework agreements.
Adecco, a Fortune Global 500 company agreed a new 12-month contract as announced to ASX on 13 October 2020.
PERSOLKELLY, one of the largest workforce solutions providers in the Asia Pacific region agreed a new 3-year contract as announced to ASX on 10 November 2020.
These agreements are a testament to the technology’s demand and ability to serve enterprise clients with robust needs across multiple geographies.
Both Adecco and PERSOLKELLY are internationally renowned as recruitment industry leaders, promoting a high level of trust in the Applyflow brand and increased buyer confidence with new and existing customers.
New product launch
The new product launched in the quarter develops on the success of the original ‘JXT’ offering, providing an improved recruitment website and job board solution targeted to recruitment agencies.
Significant enterprise recruitment agencies and SMB customers have successfully onboarded to the new Applyflow platform, with the first segment being strategic in the reduction of infrastructure costs in a major migration project. Reduction of infrastructure costs commenced ahead of schedule with 20% savings in December 2020 and continued forecasted savings in FYQ3, resulting in substantial savings annually. Reliance on third-party licensing for major services has also significantly reduced, contributing to a further cost-saving of over $100,000 per year.
Customer feedback is positive with recognition of improved product performance, additional features and added value to their business. Improved customer service, product features and planned rollout for the new product has improved customer confidence since the Company’s acquisition of JXT in June 2020.
As at 31 December 2020, Applyflow has recorded 4.4m jobs posted across 177 cities globally with 12.7m applications processed within its network of recruitment websites and job boards. With a
