Dillistone Systems, the UK-based supplier of recruitment software to the executive search industry has announced that it has secured an order for its FileFinder Anywhere product from French executive search firm Alexander Hughes International.

Dillistone’s FileFinder Anywhere software which combines the power of browser based technology with the flexibility to access data on a multitude of devices will be implemented across the firm’s global network which features offices in around 30 countries.

This contract award comes on the back of the recently announced record month of over 800 FileFinder Anywhere upgrade and new licence implementations in May and the first five months of the year which saw incoming new business orders up more than 100% on the equivalent period in 2015.

“We are delighted to be announcing this prestigious contract and are very pleased with the overall take up of FileFinder Anywhere post the substantial investment in its development,” Jason Starr, Dillistone Group’s Chief Executive, said. “This latest win once again demonstrates that FileFinder Anywhere is the software of choice for buyers of executive recruitment software.”

“The management of Alexander Hughes and I are excited about deploying FileFinder in all our 55 offices throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia/Pacific, as well as the Middle East and Africa,” Alexandru Demian, Global Corporate Secretary at Alexander Hughes, said.

“We opted to migrate away from our current database last November and carefully mapped the executive search software market, before putting together a shortlist of the best solutions out there,” Demian said. “This included of course FileFinder, with whom we have been in close contact for more than ten years now. In the end, it was the sheer flexibility and user-friendliness of FileFinder that won the day.”

“I am personally looking forward to seeing the firm migrate towards the end of the year and am persuaded that we have found the right long term partner to accompany our firm’s global ambitions,” Demian said.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
