1-Page Limited (ASX:1PG) CEO Joanna Riley Discusses the Company’s Growth Strategy and Outlook at the ASX Spotlight Series 2016 in New York
 
1-Page Limited (ASX:1PG) is the largest platform for talent acquisition for enterprises that isn’t actually software. So unlike a network, which is linked in, which companies can go to to find talent, what we do is we provide talent to companies based on our database. Which we have hundreds of millions of qualified talent that are able to be delivered, and matched to the company’s needs.
 
So a company will put out a job opportunity and what we do is we’re going to match them across our database, and provide them a very curated pool of talent. And then give them the direct access to that candidate, or allow for a high conversion by leveraging one of their own. Somebody that’s working inside the company that might have an association, or an overlap of background with the individual, to introduce that individual, or act as a referral for that individual to drive them inside the company.
 
Right now, we launched a platform in July and we’ve had a very great success delivering for large enterprises, which is where we started. Our average client size is 40,000 employees. So we have everyone from Hersheys Co (NYSE:HSY) to Under Armour Inc. (NYSE:UA) to Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) to Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) and we have an amazing client diversity. But really for us, we have the leader in every vertical and that was kind of the start of what we wanted to do. We wanted to own the leader in banking; we wanted to own the leader in healthcare and in insurance, and consumer goods and retail. And by doing that, what it does it allows the rest of them to come in.
 
So we are going to continue to fuel the strength of delivering for large enterprises, and being able to scale and help them fill their jobs that they’re looking for. But on the same point, we’re also now able to also offer an offering to small businesses, which would be companies of anything above from 1000 to 5000 employees, that we’re able to deliver for.
 
We looked at the town acquisitions space, which is huge. I mean recruitment across the world is a $456 billion industry, it’s massive. But typically what that is, is if you’re relying on a job board that’s putting out a job onto Monster, Indeed orSimply Hired and you’re really targeting at that point, active candidates, those that are actively applying to jobs. Where we focus specifically on passive candidates, and being able to find and provide people that might be in a job, but are looking for an opportunity somewhere else. Or would be looking for an opportunity, if it were right.So we’re able to find and attack a demographic that’s much larger than that, that is of a job board.
 
We were really successful, we delivered about $4.2 million in sales over the last quarter. And so we’re excited about going into 2016 and have a very strong tail wind from our demand. We had on top of that, about a 500 per cent increase in the demand request for us to deliver candidate pools. For jobs that our own clients had said, we need to scale even further and now infrastructure; the investment we’ve made, and infrastructure that allows us to scale those faster as well. So we’ve got a good tail wind going into 2016, which is great.
 
For us, I think as we launch into the small business market, it is very exciting for me to be able to offer, not only just the very large companies of the world, but also the smaller companies, an opportunity to own source candidates on our platform. And I think for us, it’s continuing to be the predominant leader in providing talent for our clients. But as we go into the verticals as I talked about earlier, as we go into those verticals and being able to take on more ownership, and market share of those verticals, that’s really where we see an opportunity.
