How much should you spend on IT per person in recruitment?



We recently carried out a survey of recruiters to find out how much the average recruitment company pays for its IT, the results were diverse is the only way to put it ranging from less than £100 per head per month to over £500 per head per month and a whole lot of people who didnt know?

Then a couple of weeks ago at the APSCo Technology Leadership Forum we were looking at Futurology one of the contributors (me) suggested that one day we will give the RecCons a monthly allowance for their sales systems to cover their pre sales systems, their cv databases, their job posting software, their upgraded LI accounts and their favourite search tools.

How much should this be?

My starter for ten is £315 with £60 for Pre Sales, £115 CV database, £25 for job posting, £20 for LI and £95 per month for search tools.

This debate I want to get peoples opinion on! So please can I have comments?
