History

Established in 1995.

Lending credence to the phrase, ‘developed by recruiters, for recruiters’, Colleague recruitment software was first created by recruitment consultancy, Arena Resources Limited in 1994 and launched to the market in 1995.

When Arena Resources Ltd was acquired by Lorien PLC in 1996 Lorien’s management were so impressed with the recruitment software system that they persuaded Arena Resources’ Managing Director, Will Minns, to stay with Lorien and help them implement it across the group.

In 2002 Will Minns acquired the recruitment software technology and set up Colleague Software Limited to provide integrated recruitment solutions to the industry. Since then Colleague has grown from strength to strength with recruitment software that has constantly evolved to meet the needs of the modern recruiter.
