Australia-based AD1 Holdings Limited (ASX: AD1), announced that existing ApplyDirect customer, the Victorian Government has renewed a Managed Service Agreement (MSA) for the Careers.Vic website for an additional three-year term.

The total three-year term is structured as a two-year renewal plus a one-year extension option and marks the migration of the current Careers.Vic website onto the ApplyDirect Gen3 platform, delivering significant efficiencies for both parties.

The agreement renewal enhances the Victorian Governments employer brand, while improving the candidate management experience across government departments due to improved functionality, the company stated.

AD1 CEO, Brendan Kavenagh, said, “We have been engaged with the Victorian Government since 2017 and are delighted to continue our partnership. We continue to invest time and resources in improving our platform offerings, tailoring solutions to better support our customers into the future.”

“The renewal further supports our position as a trusted partner,” Kavenagh added. “Our talent attraction products, ApplyDirect and Jobtale are strengthening our position within the Human Resources market, and we are pleased with the interest shown by both existing and new customers including the Victorian Government.”

Under the agreement Careers.Vic will migrate onto ApplyDirect’s new feature rich Gen3 platform by March 2024. The new Gen3 platform increases the speed with which innovation can be enabled by the customer, Apply Direct stated.

“The new Gen3 platform shows significant progress in our ApplyDirect business, delivering efficiencies for our customers and meaningful operational efficiencies for the group by reducing resources and costs by no longer managing different bespoke legacy platforms,” the company stated “Recent contract extensions by multiple state governments plus other customer wins over the last 12 months illustrates the belief our customers have in the ApplyDirect platform. We will continue to drive further investments into major projects delivering improved functionality and features to encourage further customer uptake and retention.
