Transforming IT and communications for a leading recruitment agency

The Client:
CMD Recruitment

CMD Recruitment is a well-established staffing partner based in the South West, with over a decade of experience connecting businesses with top talent. Their team relies heavily on fast, reliable technology and communications to deliver an exceptional service to clients and candidates alike.

The Challenge

CMD Recruitment's existing technology was holding back their operations and growth:

  • Inconsistent IT Support with slow resolution times
  • Lack of telephony reporting and visibility over call activity
  • Poor reliability of communications tools impacting productivity
  • Technology not scaled to support the business's growth
  • Lack of strategic IT guidance and proactive planning

Elevate Cloud have had a huge impact on the way we operate. Our IT and communications are now reliable, responsive, and built around how a recruitment business actually works. Support is fast, issues are resolved properly, and the visibility we now have over our phone system has been a real game changer. On top of that, the Elevate Cloud team are genuinely friendly and approachable, which makes working with them easy and enjoyable. It feels like a real partnership.
