It seems cheaper going direct to Microsoft?

Going direct to Microsoft means you buy an annual subscription, which can be paid monthly but has a minimum term of 12 months.

As an accredited CSP, Colleague is able to offer a monthly subscription to give businesses greater flexibility.

I have found Colleague to be a very reliable and flexible product; the options for customising it are aplenty and these are increasing with each build release. I've found it to be simple to administer, simple to use, and yet very powerful; as an IT Manager one of its strongest points is the openness of its back-end database and I'm yet to find a product that we can't integrate it with.
Daniel Cater
ICT Manager, Square One Resources
If there was a better Recruitment CRM in existence, then we would be using it. Colleague is at the heart of everything we do right through to the all-important Back Office. They understand the difference between Temp and Contract – very rare in my experience – and cater for ALL recruitment types with individual precision workflows and functionality that work. Our move to the cloud version in 2020 was one of the best decisions we ever made. They really do run continuous 2 weekly sprints and upgrades with improved user lead functionality in every release. In my opinion you would be hard pressed to find another vendor delivering these kinds of enhancements on such a consistent basis. As a heavy consumer of Recruitment technology tools – if I had to choose only one, it would be Colleague every time.

Managing Director, Bowers Partnership
Colleague have worked with InterQuest to streamline and improve the quality and performance of our CRM system. They play an integral part in the development of our unique value proposition, both to candidate and client, and have worked hard to help us innovate our level of service and efficiency. The job is not yet complete, unsure if it ever will be, as we seek to continuously improve, however simply put; Colleague are a 'partner' in the growth and performance of our business.
Mark Braund
Former CEO, InterQuest Group Plc
In terms of the support I can make this real easy - I call them, my team calls them, it gets done. Nothing is ever a hassle or a huge problem. We've had a long relationship with you guys, you know us, we know you, we get onto the tech team - and the tech team sort it out for us.
Andy Hillery
Co-owner, Rize Worldwide
Everything I do in my business, whether it is headhunting a candidate, opening a new client, managing the recruitment process – is done through Colleague. It is a fantastic piece of kit that is not only easy to use and navigate around but is exceptionally effective at increasing my sales and increasing the quality of the work I do.

The skill coding and searching facility of Colleague recruitment software is very good and helps us really target and get to the right people a lot faster.
Walid Souki
Founding Director, Accountancy Divisions
Colleague is fantastic for us as a new start up. It was really important that our database was simple, easy to use and quick to install. Wherever we are we can login and we can work... I had used Colleague at my previous agency and to be honest it was a no brainer. For us, especially as a new start-up, we wanted to use a system that we knew and trusted.
Ruth Harding
Partner, R13 Recruitment
I really recommend Colleague because it is such an easy tool to use - it’s self-explanatory.
Richard Langshaw
Founder, Maxegan Recruitment
I was just thinking this morning that after all these years (20!) of using Colleague, just how little consideration I give to the dependability of your product. Whilst I certainly do not take this for granted this reliability is probably the greatest testament to all the crew at Colleague Software, that and of course unmatched functionality. Well done all!
Paul Redman
Co-founder, Techfellow
Having worked in recruitment for 16 years, I would have no hesitation in recommending Colleague Software to my associates or to any prospective clients. Colleague Software has been instrumental in the success of my business and I believe that no other recruitment software in the market today, is as flexible and dynamic as Colleague. In order for me to continue to be successful, I require a system that can adapt to my current and future requirements - Colleague fulfils those needs.
Dom Martinez
Managing Partner, Lucas Kennedy
I first used Colleague over 8 years ago, since than I have been using another recruitment software package but recently I migrated to Colleague Software and I am very pleased to be back. I believe Colleague is an advanced time management and user friendly system, which provides an excellent platform to build one's recruitment business. The system has changed considerably since I first used it and that is credit to the constant development of the team. I would highly recommend.
Warren Berkley
Director, Prospects4Corporate Travel
Colleague is the most useful tool in my working day! It is endlessly helpful and supports me with every aspect of Recruitment as a solution. Every step of the way it is there supporting me and making my life easier, as a result I can focus on the more important parts of placing a candidate and as such am a more efficient consultant. The guys at Colleague are really helpful with any issues or questions too.
Stuart Egerton
Divisional Manager, Skillfinder Group
I’ve used a few recruitment CRM’s throughout my recruitment career and I can honestly say Colleague is head and shoulders above the competition. It’s easy to use, mobile and logical with the recruitment stages process. If you want the best, you don’t need look any further than Colleague.
Ross White
Managing Consultant, Focus Select Ltd
For twenty years now (?), our partnership with Colleague has been nothing short of essential; it's impossible to disentangle Seismic’s ongoing success from the integral role that Colleague has played. Colleague is absolutely central to our recruitment process and consequently our business. The beauty of Colleague lies not only in its functionality but also in its adaptability. Over the years, as our business evolved, Colleague evolved with us, especially in the move to Colleague7. Its extensive functionality consistently met our changing needs, but most importantly what truly sets Colleague apart is the support we've received from their team, which has always been prompt and reliable.
Rob Alsop
Operations Director, Seismic Recruitment
I used Colleague in my previous role so when I set up my own recruitment agency I knew I wanted to use Colleague again. It’s one of the best CRM tools to help me stay organised and efficient. Plus the people behind the scenes are extremely helpful too and the support has been outstanding. Particular thanks to David, Sadie and Cameron for always being super helpful!
Justine Sellman
Director, Logic Recruiting
We decided to switch from a server-based CRM to a cloud-based one several years ago and chose Colleague. It is a very comprehensive system that offers everything we need. The support provided (especially by Sadie) is both friendly and tip top! They are very pro-active with continuous development and so I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone.
Marcus Brasier
Managing Director, b3 jobs ltd
I have used many software systems having been in the Recruitment sector for over 16 years and Colleague7 is the BEST system I have used. I have found it easy to learn, very efficient and really helps make my day easier knowing I am using such a great database.
