Our Vision

Ikiru – /i:kɪruː/ (ee-ki-roo)

The vision for Ikiru People is based on this Japanese concept, meaning “to live”. At its core are the ideas of growth and improving oneself and feeling connected to the world and the people in it. These lie at the heart of the Ikiru People group and the solutions we provide businesses, from ISV, which provides firms with testing and training tools to measure skills and profile personalities to ensure they place employees in the roles best suited to their strengths, to FileFinder, an executive search database, CRM, research tool and project management solution all rolled into one.

Ikiru also represents living in the moment. Our agile and responsive applications are designed to help our customers as they react to the everyday challenges faced by businesses. With automation and simplicity at its centre, our vision is that businesses embrace the now, with Ikiru People improving efficiency and offering support every step of the way.

Who We Are

Our beliefs drive our approach to all of our brands. Unified under Ikiru People, we deliver a result that’s greater by virtue of our knowledgeable team coming together to support our customers.

Balance

We believe that people shouldn’t have to compromise when it comes to their work life, which should be as fulfilling as their personal one. Our solutions enable candidates to achieve a balance and improve their overall quality of life by securing the better job they’ve been looking for, while consultants, recruiters and decision-makers seeking great new talent benefit from efficient, time-saving software that eliminates tiresome and mundane admin and makes their work easier and more enjoyable. This isn’t just something we aspire to achieve for our customers but for our employees at Ikiru People too.

Connectivity

Connection is the reason Ikiru People exists; each of our brands is connected, as is our approach. Our solutions are built around the concept of joining people together — whether that’s the connection of candidates with corporates, SMEs and not-for-profit organisations or the connection of Ikiru People with our thousands of customers as we deliver a world-class service day after day. Our software options are also linked to one another, helping our clients increase efficiency by keeping everything together in one place.

Trust

From the day when our FileFinder software was initially developed in 1983 by David Dillistone, who would later give his name to the Dillistone Group, our goal has always been to build trust with our customers. We know that they rely on us to deliver systems that work, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. More than 30 years later, we continue to prove to businesses that we are best-placed to improve their processes by delivering gold-standard service and sharing our expertise and knowledge.

Meet Some of Our People

Our talented team has decades of combined experience and knowledge. Working across FileFinder, ISV.Online, Talentis, GatedTalent and Voyager, and now united under the Ikiru People group, we’re dedicated to providing an even better and faster service than our customers have experienced before.
