Mark Stephens, CEO & Founder of Smart Recruit Online commented: “We are delighted to be working with ADS and its members. The senior members of our team have collectively been involved in recruitment within the Defence and Aerospace sector for more than 50 years and we already know many ADS members. We understand the staffing challenges within the sector and know that Smart Recruit Online will be able to make a significant impact, especially around improving efficiencies and reducing costs.”

The Smart Recruit Online system has some impressive trading statistics, with a fulfilment rate of around 80% over the last 12 months, an average time to offer of just 19 days and an average cost per hire of under £250. Stephens knows that there are many skills shortages within the sector and says, “although it is unlikely that we can solve all the problems associated with severe skills shortages, what we can do is bring the Defence and Aerospace sector up to speed with regards to the latest technology that is available to assist them and ensure that companies using the system always give themselves the very best chance of recruiting from direct applications at the lowest possible cost.
