• Clients in over 50 countries worldwide.

Commenting on the results, Jason Starr, Managing Director, said:

“We are very pleased with the continued global growth of Dillistone in 2007. Particularly significant is that 7 out of our 25 largest implementations within the period were into the world’s ‘emerging markets’ and that many major contracts were won where clients moved over to Dillistone from direct competitors. This is an endorsement of our position as the market leader in the global Recruitment Software industry.”

He stated that “revenue growth has been complemented by an enhanced operating margin and strong profits, demonstrating a robust performance across the business. The Group has been very cash generative and gives us a strong platform to continue to develop in 2008 despite the economic uncertainty seen recently in world markets.”
