I’m a little curious about this for the reasons below... and for those with exposure to both sides of the coin, how in your opinion does recruiting into the US Market vary from the UK Market?The reason I ask is, because I’m facing a little quandary... after spending a few months out in the US, I’m now back in the UK and based here recruiting... in simple terms, what I do is all Silicon Valley type stuff for which there’s also a market in the UK and EuropeI’m currently receiving some outstanding…See More

Hi all,Still pretty new here but figured this might be the most appropriate forum to put this question on as there seems to be more than a few clued up individuals!I’m looking for an ATS or a CRM that has the ability to map candidates and clients to an actual geographical location on a map, by using their zip / postal code. I’ve been searching high and low and haven’t managed to find one that has what appears to be a relatively easy to function to integrate, at least from a developer’s point of…See More
