Process

Overview

Since 1994, Recruiting Pro Software has been focused on providing comprehensive data management tools. We design and develop complex “mission-critical” systems with a premium on the security and storage of proprietary information. These systems have the ability to seamlessly integrate with other enterprise level external data sources.

The underlying technology in our systems is the FileMaker Inc. framework, which provides a cost-effective mechanism for integration and deployment across multiple platforms. Their continued research and development powered by the current $824 Billion market capitalization of the parent company (Apple Inc.) allows us to focus on implementing new features and advances in technology in our systems.

Whether creating a completely custom system or customizing a current system to fit your needs, our goal is to help clients utilize the system to its maximum efficiency. We understand that project management is a critical component of every project. Our goal is to partner with our client to utilize the nine step development process we have incorporated. These nine steps are supported by our Client Portal, a central location for project communication and budget status.
