Black Dragon Recruitment
Markets

Built for markets where talent is scarce.

Black Dragon works best where experienced people are hard to find and generic job boards fall short. It understands each market's platforms, job titles and what genuine experience looks like.

Enterprise Performance Management.

EPM is the finance software large organisations use for budgeting, forecasting, consolidation and the month-end close. The specialists who implement and run it are in short supply, and their experience is tied to specific platforms.

Black Dragon reads each candidate's full work history, so it can tell someone who has used a platform from someone who has delivered on it.
