• How long has Addition Software been around?

Addition Software was established in 2008 by a team of developers.

• Where does Employer Search get contacts?

Employer Search works off a variety of job posting sites and online resources:



Free Boards - Employer Search carefully searches dozens of free boards such as Craig's List and Indeed.

Pay Boards - Employer Search hits pay for boards as job clients without the need to have any recruitment account with these pay boards.

Suggestions from Users - Employer Search is updated automatically with a subscription service. Submissions for search sites are taken via the sales organization and prioritized into future release and update packs.

• Can Employer Search work on Pay Sits like Hot Jobs or Monster?

Employer Search works like a candidate searching for a job. There is no need to get a subscription or login account for any pay for recruitment sites.

• How many contacts can I find with Employer Search?

There is no limit to the number of contacts available via the search. Some job boards may only provide a limited number of results but this is easily overcome by creating smaller search areas (for example Texas instead of all the US). Multiple searches and campaigns can be organized together for easily reissuing frequently issued searches.

• Will Employer Search find customers I wouldn't normally find?

Of course it will! The search engine will go into web site and job search sites you may of not even heard about and locate contacts that are not visible with out hours of tedious clicking on web sites and job placement sites.

• How much does Employer Search cost?

Employer Search is licensed on a subscription basis because it is continually updated to preserve searching effectiveness and compatibility with job search sites. In addition, you receive updates to the search product and new features as they become available. Furthermore, suggestions for new sites and new features are prioritized ahead of non-subscription customers. For pricing see the product purchase page.

• Does Employer Search find Candidates for Jobs?

No, Employer search is for job board or recruitment managers. Employer Search locates new clients for them by searching jobs in their respective specialties. It does this by searching for posting which match their potential candidates.

• Is Employer Search a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System?

Employer Search can serve as a foundation for customer relationship systems in small to medium sized businesses. There are fields for tracking contact dates, notes, and company information.

• What happens if someone takes down the original website or job posting?

Employer search has an "Offline" feature that allows you to cache a copy of every search result to your local drive. The pages are there for ever and available for additional information or reference regardless if the site and page is available on the internet.

• Can I use my own email and internet clients?

Yes! Employer search is integrated with your default web browser and default email clients. Clicking on contact emails will launch your email client. Clicking on any referenced link will launch in your browser, including cached pages.

Technical Questions

• Will my data be stored on your servers or on my own computer?

Your data and search results are stored privately on your own computer.

• How much room does it take on my hard drive?

Employer Search takes about 3MB of hard disc for the base installation. Searches generally take about 100KB for every 2000 contacts. Using the caching feature for offline results will result in pages without graphics being stored to the hard drive under the cache folder.

• Can I Export the Contacts?

Yes, Employer Search results can be exported to a file with comma separated values. This file can be opened with a spread-sheet program or imported into virtually any other database that can accept a comma separated record.

• Can I Import Contacts?

Yes, the same comma separated files can be imported back into campaigns or shared with colleagues for import into their systems. If you can generate a comma separated file such as from a spread-sheet program you can import this into Employer Search.
