I’m looking for a simple and effective mid-range recruitment package that meets the following criteria:

a) simple/intuitive to use (my staff are not very technical at all... )

b) quick/accurate CV loading/duplicate checking, skills coding, CV/code searching, post mailshot functionality etc

c) we can make minor changes to it (without being charged a fortune… )

d) protects our CVs/data from being easily copied

e) has EXCELLENT customer support

Because of bad experience’s we’ve had the past, we’re currently considering Adapt or Microdec on the hope that we'll get decent customer service - although both systems are far too big/complicated for what we really need.

Can anyone recommend a good mid-range product/company that give excellent customer support?

All feedback gratefully received....
