Recruitment Systems was started in 1999 within IT recruitment firm Candle Australia (now Clarius Group). One of the branch managers, Neil Bolton needed a database to help him track the thousands of candidates and resumes which the business was based on. After careful research of all the relevant databases on the market, Neil realised that no product really fulfilled his needs. Like a true entrepreneur, Neil saw this gap in the market as a major opportunity and teamed up with expert software developer Slava Barouline to produce the Candle Recruitment Information System (CRIS).
As this system developed, it was clear that the product suited recruiters in other agencies and industries. So Recruitment Systems was formed to develop and market the product worldwide. Gradually the database was superseded with the launch of the TRIS Recruitment CRM in 2008.
