A very Happy New Year to everyone and know that 2012 is going to be an exciting year. With the Olympics to look forward to this summer we know that there are many organisations out there who are looking to put in place an award winning and gold medal standard applicant tracking system.
The year is off to a great start for Changeworknow as its reputation for providing online recruitment solutions to retail organisations is rapidly growing with the news that two more high street names have selected us to provide their recruitment technology.
Rymans, the UK's largest stationary retailer and Boux Avenue, the lingerie chain have chosen the Changeworknow system to help them recruit for both retail and head office staff across the businesses. Both chains are owned by entrepreneur Theo Paphitis, best known for his appearances and investments in the business programme Dragons Den. I think I would be right in saying that his decision to invest in Changeworknow's online recruitment solution could be one of his best decisions to date!
We are also delighted to welcome a new member to our team. Linda Royce has joined as Client Account Manager and will be working with our client services team to deliver projects. Linda has fourteen years experience of client relationship management and project management within the field of people development solutions. She has a wealth of HR experience and she will be a great asset to our team.
So all in all a good start to 2012!

New season and new clients
The summer has been a busy time at Changeworknow. The majority of the HR community may well have been taking a well earned sunshine break but the team here have been hard at work delivering solutions for new clients.
In July we launched a solution for the UK arm of the global pharmaceutical company Daiichi-Sankyo. Our highly agile project process meant that the system was delivered in just eight days from start to finish! This was the record for delivering a new system, the previous being held by PizzaExpress at 4 weeks.
In August we launched an online recruitment solution for the luxury online fashion retailer, NET-A-PORTER. With a strapline "fashion at your fingertips" the NET-A-PORTER recruitment team now have "recruitment at their fingertips". And the exciting aspect of this project is the global element with our award winning technology now being used in USA.
And more exciting news. We have added yet another high street brand to our ever expanding client portfolio. Changeworknow are partnering with Wagamamas to support them with their extensive growth plans and we will be launching the new system in the Autumn. Particularly exciting as this is a favourite brand of one or two or our people so you can rest assured that we will be visiting our local Wagamama's to celebrate the launch in due course!
