Reading, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/11/2011 -- Red Top Resources "Red Top", a recognised leader in IT security recruitment, has selected GRIP recruitment software from 2LS to underpin all its placement activities. Red Top chose the GRIP Hosted solution which not only gives them access to the easiest to use recruitment solution in the market but also enables them to access GRIP from anywhere.

Red Top was formed in 2002 to service the highly specialised information security and business risk consultancy areas, providing permanent, contract and ‘ad hoc’ candidates, including those that are SC and DV cleared, into a variety of security roles for the public and private sectors. The ability to quickly source and place these highly skilled and sought after individuals is essential to Red Top's business.

With the growth in the importance and activity of the security sector Red Top recognised that its existing recruitment software solution was no longer capable of meeting the demands of the business and so has migrated across to the more powerful GRIP from 2LS.

By selecting the GRIP Hosted solution Red Top consultants are able to get all the advantages of the GRIP software from anywhere, whether this be in the office, at home or when visiting a client. Having this access significantly increases productivity of the consultants and enables Red Top to provide a better service to their client base.

According to director Mike Case, “Red Top recognised that our existing recruitment software solution wasn't keeping pace with the growth and demands of the business. Therefore, we evaluated a number of potential solutions before selecting GRIP. We liked the features such as the extensive use of drag and drop and the ability of have multiple contacts open and visible at once. Having 2LS host GRIP for us also means that we can concentrate on our business without any of the associated IT worries."

GRIP was developed by recruitment specialist 2LS to meet the exacting demands of a recruitment consultancy. It manages and underpins all aspects of the placement process covering clients, candidates and vacancies. GRIP Hosted provides a cloud based solution for consultancies wanting all the advantages of GRIP but with access anywhere. GRIP is currently in successful use by recruiters in the UK and overseas.
