Free HR Software

Free HR Software - is there such a thing? Everything has a cost to develop, and the features of a decent recruitment software application can be extensive.

So why would anyone spend half a million dollars on developing free HR software to then give it away? It just doesn't make commercial sense.

Darwin's own HR software development cost nearly £1million British Pounds. This is because Microsoft CRM engineers help develop the software.

HR Software that isn't actually free

- an extended HR trial or HR shareware

- developed by a student or group of people in their spare time
in which case would you REALLY want to run your business on it???

- does not include implementation, integration or support.

"Free software" is often not worth the risk or your reputation.

One Genuine Free HR Application

• Darwin has developed a genuinly free HR application, see below for details.

Darwin provides this to small and growing

Using Outlook as an HR Application

• Microsoft Outlook is used by many small agencies to manage and communicate with candidates and clients. But Outlook does not natively store CV's, meaning the recruiter still has to manually search CV by skill and job history.

• Outlook HR plugin from Darwin fills in the missing pieces and turns Outlook into a fully featured recruitment application. Using the Outlook CV plugin a recruiter can skill match CV and search CV by keyword inside Outlook, without needed any other software.
