Please describe your company and your position there.
Well established multi-office UK recruitment agency / business delivering temporary worker and permanent employee introductions across most sectors. My position requires me to give operational support to the branch network.
For what projects/services did your company hire Bluelinemedia Ltd?
I wanted to explore a bespoke CRM option for our Consultants to store Client and Applicant Data, and be able to communicate to both / swap data in a controlled and recorded environment.
To replace an "off the shelf" software provider. I had a commensurate project to improve the functionality of the Company website, making it more interactive and giving applicants direct access to our branch staff.
What were your goals for this project?
To streamline CRM software to those areas used regularly and effectively, rather than having functionality that was never used. To create a website that was easily used by the public on multiple devices, and that was intuitive and made direct representation straightforward.
How did you select this vendor?
Went to several possibles to discuss our aims, and Blueline Media understood our objectives well and were imaginative and offered a variety of solution.

They shared their ideas early on (before contract signed) and their transparency in this respect made me comfortable to partner with them. they were able to be flexible on levels of service provision which in some instances led to a reduction in costs for us.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
Project Manager was easily accessible at all times and able to offer immediate advice by phone or research and return with advice within 24 hours. Bi-monthly meetings face to face to see "live" development content and discuss issues and additional functionality as opportunities arose.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Direct access to decision makers at all times. They proactively offer multiple solutions to satisfy our needs within promised timescales and budgets.
