Connected Software!

Until now you've had to choose between between flat, uninspiring web applications that you have to open in a browser, and on-premises desktop software solutions that have a complicated IT setup.

Wouldn't it be great if you could get a rich responsive application installed on your PC, but still have access to your data from anywhere? Darwin delivers the best of both worlds!

You can install as many instances of Darwin as you need (eg. work, home, laptop) safe in the knowledge that your information is always accessible on the Darwin server.

Ultimate Productivity!

The average recruitment consultant will spend at least half of his day in front of his company's recruitment software, usually communicating at the same time. It's obvious really, the easier the software is to use then the more productive its user will be. Less IS more.

So we stripped out unnecessary clicks from Darwin in order that users could maintain momentum. In fact we found that common tasks were performed up to 40% fewer clicks than in other recruitment packages.

You've already got great people... so imagine if they could increase their performance by 40%? Now that WOULD be something worth finding out about!

100% Configurable!

No CRM package in the world gives you control of over your data and layout like Darwin can. How many other packages give you a Visual drag & drop designer that enables the average business user to design a typical record screen in around 15 mins?

Other providers require you to tell them what fields you need (for them to plumb in at your expense) or at best provide you with some kind of limited tweaking facility. But no-one provides you with a set of visual tools that enable you to easily create databases, drag & drop fields onto forms, with realtime previews. Taking control over your system customisation not only gives you EXACTLY what you need now, but also puts you firmly in the driving seat should your requirements ever change.

Microsoft Look & Feel!

Over 200 million people rely on Microsoft Office, the world's most successful & popular business software. So we decided to build Darwin to look and feel the same way.

Research shows that the average consultant already has a high level of familiarity with Office; which translates into reduced training times, reduced stress levels, and greater momentum & productivity. As a typical consultant will spend half their working life in front of a screen, this 'feel good' factor will be noticed by everyone the consultant interacts with.

Darwin is built to integrate seamlessly with Office - but also works just fine without it.

Feature Rich!

Whether its searching emails, documents, and CV's in a single consolidated search... emailing shortlists with pre-written messages at the click of a button... previewing live data without opening records... or accessing Outlook... or sharing diaries with other users... Darwin hasn't missed much! And there's also workflow, advanced reports, custom dashboards, company branding, website integration... the list goes on and on.

And here's a scary thought... this is only version 1.0 of Darwin! We've already lined up another 3 great features for release in the autumn (which users get free). Not to mention the back office and business development tools which are on their way!

Great Experience!

At Darwin we understand that you don't want support... you just want to get back to what you were doing before you needed assistance! But how many software providers provide you with comprehensive help files & knowledge base built right into their product... a test system populated with data... and an entire library of HowTo movies? We even automated the installation process to make it easier for you.

We want our customers to have the best experience possible while using our software. So if you find anything that you feel isn't up to scratch, or could be improved in any way, email our CEO directly on: feedback{at}darwin.com

Progressive UK Company!

Many of the ideas for Darwin come from building bespoke recruitment applications for some of the top 100 UK recruitment firms, and input from seasoned professionals with over 20 years experience in the recruitment industry.

Darwin may be leading the world in the implementation of some of the newest internet & software technologies, but we are proud to be a privately owned British company. While we shall expand internationally, our head office will always be based in Shrewsbury (birthplace of Charles Darwin). And you've seen how much we've packed into Darwin 1.0 , and have some really great product announcements to make in the Autumn, so watch this space!

No IT Required!

CRM systems are usually installed by an IT Manager with an advanced knowledge of databases to get it all working.

Darwin is different - we put you, the Business User in complete control. Whether a one man band or a global operation, Darwin can be installed & distributed to users with the minimum of fuss. We can assist naturally, but you can download Darwin via 'ClickOnce' (Microsoft's automated install process) which automatically installs Darwin onto your PC.

Once installed, Darwin automatically keeps itself up to date with the latest product enhancements, including any new features - so no need to worry about upgrades.

Microsoft Pedigree!

Some other recruitment software providers may have Microsoft Partner status, but how many have up to 23 leading engineers from the most successful software company in the world actually working with them on their product? How many can say they have had their technology tested in Microsoft's labs... or that they get access to the latest technology before other Microsoft partners... or that Microsoft give them commercial licenses to virtually all of their products & enroll them in Microsoft fast track programs? And how many can say they receive 24hr, 7 days a week, 365 days a year priority support from Microsoft?

And how many recruitment software vendors are published on Microsoft.com? Exactly. read about us on Microsoft.com

Fanatical about Support!

Darwin understands that you don't want support... you just want to get back to what you were doing before you had a problem!

But how many other recruitment software providers provide you with comprehensive help files & knowledge base built right into their product? And how many of those companies provide you with an entire library of HowTo movies, so you don't even have to read a help file?
We've gone to every effort to make sure that you shouldn't need to contact us, but should you need to we're UK based and available in normal office hours (with extra out of hours support in emergencies). You've got ticketed support, telephone support, and we can even remote control Darwin on your own screen.
