Hi Rec,
We have been using IDIBU for the past 6 months and I have found the system very user friendly. If you're a smaller agency looking for a cheaper option I would definitely recommend IDIBU.
I am sure they would arrange an initial trial for you.
We previously used Conkers!! That is all...

I'm Marketing Director at Broadbean.
Have a look here at our clients who feel they get great value for money with Broadbean:

Any Recruitment Agency looking at Advert Distribution Software would be very foolish to not give Broadbean a look in regardless of the cost. We have 1200 clients who don't seem to have a problem with the price, we have won many awards for technical innovation and customer service and our client retention rate is fantastic.
I think the so-called "Recruitment Agencies" here that choose to remain annoymous are dubious at best but if you really are a Recruitment Business that believes Idibu is a better product I invite you to have lunch on me so we can discuss this.

Hi Ricky,
Recruiter asked for a cheaper alternative to your product. I gave him a cheaper valid option which we currently use and are happy with.
I would be interested to hear recruiters opinions on other alternative products to Broadbean/Conkers.

It is interesting to note that Broadbean's customer base has declined so considerably over the past 6 months... I wonder why that could be?
It is also interesting to note that their website seems strangely out of date, with nothing having been updated in months... usually a sign of things to come...
Oh, and has anyone seen Dan recently? |

Hi.
Having recently joined idibu from a large recruitment company and seeing how they operate and how the technology works, its not only safe and secure but also cost effective.
By all means email me or contact the team on 0800 311 2750.
Regards
Rob |

Broadbean? talk about trying to create a monopoly and then being arrogant enough (thinking you've done so) to hype your price severely.
You may have won numerous awards for technology and customer service, probably before you became so arrogant and increased your price.
Look at your market, we are in the middle of a recession, with more and more talented developers joining the market everyday and significant developments in technology meaning that it's not that difficult to create multi posting software solutions.
Well at the end of the day the price of any commodity is usually governed by supply and demand, there are plenty of alternative suppliers out there, and from what I can see, demand for your service as currently priced is falling fast.
My opinion, good luck to Idibu, Webcruit, Posting Pal and anyone else entering the market.
Broadbean, isn't time you woke up and smealt the coffee beans??
