Hireserve: A thriving UK recruitment technology company

Hireserve ATS is an Applicant Tracking System designed specifically to help in-house recruitment teams automate, streamline and manage their recruitment processes online.

Organisations trust Hireserve because of our highly knowledgeable and dedicated implementation, technical and support specialists. We’ve also been told that we are a pleasure to work with, which is always a nice thing to hear!

 

“The biggest strength of Hireserve is the staff who work there… Support are fantastic.

Hireserve was founded in 1997 by Jeremy and Karen Ovenden.

In 1997, online recruitment software didn’t really exist. Terms like ‘employer branding’ and ‘candidate engagement’ weren’t the buzzwords they are today. And Jeremy and Karen Ovenden were two happily settled thirty-somethings with a young family.

But then Jeremy had an idea. He was eager to start developing his own technology that could make a real impact on in-house recruitment teams. They made the leap, set up a business, and grew Hireserve from the kitchen table to a highly-respected ATS supplier, trusted by an international client base.

The next chapter begins…

In mid-2021, Hireserve entered its next chapter as the business was acquired by leading HR & Payroll provider xcd.

Our values continue to be based on the same good business sense, hard work and fairness with which Jeremy and Karen launched Hireserve. And now, with the additional support and leadership that comes from being part of the xcd group, we look forward to even more opportunities to support in-house recruitment teams across the globe.

There is a lot on our website about the benefits of applying Hireserve ATS to your recruitment processes, so we won’t go into it here.

Instead, we wanted this page to help you understand a little more about where we’ve come from, where we’re headed, and why we care so much about exceptional recruitment technology and customer support.
