The global health crisis and the ensuing nationwide lockdowns naturally impacted businesses. But the UK jobs market and the recruiting sector worked diligently to power through in 2021. Not an easy feat in these times. As many recruitment start-ups appeared in the market, Voyager recruitment software was delighted to play an integral part in their progress and success.
Rise of the entrepreneurial spirit and recruitment start-ups
Entrepreneurs are the driving force of any economy. In 2021, they provided an indispensable stimulus for the UK economy – driving growth and pushing boundaries.
When the coronavirus outbreak hit the recruitment industry hard in 2020, many recruiters were furloughed or made redundant. But as the economy attempted a return to the status quo ante and businesses started hiring again, skilled recruiters were back in demand from recruitment firms.
But many recruiters had other ideas. Those with an entrepreneurial spirit decided to strike out on their own.
And, in order to thrive, they utilised the best recruiting software systems available.
As the economy slowly embarked on a positive revival, recruitment start-ups capitalised on businesses’ needs for talent and growth to make a success out of their ventures. There was a surge in job vacancies and a growing demand for skilled candidates. Experienced recruiters understood that investment in smart recruitment tools and systems was not only pragmatic but critical to their start-up’s success. Having the right infrastructure in place to support their business growth must be a high priority.
Engaging the right tools to optimise hiring
Nothing beats a smart recruitment CRM software when it comes to helping recruiters excel in their work. It might give the impression of a cog in the machine of a well-oiled recruitment agency. In fact, when recruiters meet a suitable recruitment software platform, it enables them to easily practice key hiring strategies.

Mark Lowrie on the decisions behind investing in Voyager Infinity
Old hiring practices have given way to new recruiting challenges – remote recruitment, candidate shortages, talent demands, etc.
Running a business comes complete with challenges. But with the best recruitment software to do all the heavy lifting work, the one-person recruitment start-up or a small team of recruiters can focus on what truly matters. Finding the perfect candidate for the job.
Recruitment has invariably been about talent. Efficient and effective hiring means bringing the right kind of talent to the opportunity at the right time.
It takes smart recruiters to understand that leveraging recruitment agency software brings a respite from the drudgery of admin work. Automation makes the hiring process simpler, transforming the way recruiters work. Whether it is candidate sourcing, applicant screening or enhancing communication, a recruitment CRM’s automation features get the best results in the shortest amount of time.
Investing in the right tools presents recruiters with the opportunity to focus on more high-value activities instead of tedious, time-consuming tasks.
