Hello there.
I am the founder of a not-for-profit organisation called JobStart - where we assist school leavers into their first job, mentor and support them over their first year of employment and put together a relevant study plan that will assist them in moving forward.
I am looking for an inexpensive software package to track jobs/ placements as well as a crm for tracking all my marketing calls etc. There is a lot of software out there, but most seems to do well more than what I need.
I have tried to design something myself in Access - but I am no expert and finding that I am getting stuck with some of the advanced type of things I want it to do.
Any ideas that anyone has would be gratefully received.
Firstly, I must say that I have heard some good response to Jobstart.
Secondly and in respect of CRM we use microsoft CRM pacakage and it's potential is great. I found access extremely difficult to use but then again I am novice where Access is concerned.
However, If you are ever looking for a good General Insurance package which will cover you for your website please call us.

Hi Tanya, have a look at www.zoho.com. They have a crm and an HR application (but I haven't looked into that one). I think you could work the crm to exactly what you need though. One thing I like about zoho is that if I have an issue, they are willing to talk to me... which is fantastic. Support is really important. This package is free for a start but once you need more features you need to pay. We pay for our service and pay it happily, its a great application and its very affordable.
Regards
Debra
