Recruitment technology provider Kaonix Solutions has signed a new three-year agreement with hospitality giant Tragus Group.

The deal, an extension of an existing relationship, sees Tragus Group, operator of high-street restaurants brands such as Bella Italia, Café Rouge and Strada, use the firm’s web-cruit system.

Claire Clarke, head of recruitment and policy at Tragus, says: “Consistently over the past three years we have reduced our average cost per placement by almost 70%.

“In the same period the proportion of hires being made through recruitment agencies has been reduced from 15% to 5%, representing a further significant saving. Coupled with the excellent relationship we enjoy with Kaonix, the decision to renew was a simple one.”
