The new Cambridge recruitment start-up IBEX Resources Limited is presenting IBEX Logic, which it claims reduces the cost of the recruitment process. The company deals with vacancies predominantly from Technology companies throughout the United Kingdom

"Have you ever stopped to wonder how much recruitment fees are costing your organisation?" asks IBEX's founder David Wood and continues: "For larger corporates this can be hundreds of thousands of pounds; and for the SME marketplace several thousands of pounds per year!"  Whichever way you look at it, recruitment fees are generally a lot of money and impact heavily on the bottom line!


IBEX Resources Limited believe they have the solution!  The idea of a true “value for money” proposition first came to IBEX’s founder, David Wood, a few months back.  “We looked at different ways of providing the ultimate solution for companies who recruit.  After looking at various methodologies, we have settled on what we have called IBEX Logic.”

IBEX Logic is an innovative recruitment process.  The client’s vacancy is discussed at length with an IBEX Consultant, so that he or she has a thorough understanding of the requirements.  That vacancy is then worked on by IBEX for 2 weeks (14 days).  During that 2 week period, a short-list of candidates is provided to the client for them to make direct contact with the candidates.  David Wood added: "In general, candidates prefer to speak directly to the potential employer, and not go through the recruitment agent. And we believe that the client also prefers this direct approach!"

The cost for this is £450 (plus VAT); and if IBEX does not provide any suitable candidates, the client gets their money back!  Simple!

The goal of IBEX Logic is to provide quality candidates at a reasonable cost.  “Repeat business and word of mouth recommendations are key to our success, and it is this that ensures we continue to provide high quality candidates to our clients!” says David Wood.  More information is available online at http://www.ibexresources.co.uk.

Now the company announced the start of its French service.

The FotoInsight photo print service is backed by 19 production sites, strategically located throughout Europe.

Our market analysis shows that FotoInsight’s high quality standards and superior CEWE photo books should stand a great chance in France. We think that French consumers and business users will appreciate our ability to supply photo prints across 32 European countries.”

Apart from processing digital images onto real photographic paper and a range of photo gifts and printing products like calendars, jigsaw puzzles and photo pairs, FotoInsight is offering a range of high value, photo gift ideas like a crystal photo heart, photo key ring and other items, where the image is engraved in the crystal through patented laser technology.

In addition, FotoInsight caters for all mayor operating systems, including Macintosh as well as Firefox and Netscape browser users with special upload facilities with no need for additional software.

Inkjet printing still far from matching online photo printing, despite 30% drop in price

The cost of photo printing on computer printers has dropped up to 30 percent in the last few months thanks to a savage price war, reports the New York Times. The cost is still close to £0.30 / 50cents per print according to product reviewers at Consumer Reports. In the meantime, the price of printing a 4 by 6 inch snapshot at an online photo lab, like FotoInsight is as low as 12pence (FotoInsight.ie 18cents). “At those prices, why bother printing at home?” asks the online publication Slashdot.org in a recent article and continues: “Consumers seem to be saying just that.” For the 12 months ended in July, home printing accounted for just 48 percent of the 7.7 billion digital prints made, down sharply from 64 percent in the previous 12 months, according to the Photo Marketing Association International, a trade group for retailers and camera makers. The overall growth of digital photo printing is up about 68 percent from the year-earlier period - and online digital photo processors clearly have the advantage, which some photo processing services like FotoInsight.co.uk of Cambridge, UK intend to expand their advantage, extending the product range to photo albums, four different styles of photo calendars, a photo book, photo shirts, five different photo mugs, jigsaw puzzles in two sizes and many more photo gift ideas for businesses and families.
