Introduction

The new year brings fresh opportunities to fill your pipeline and strengthen client relationships.

Here are 10 itris features to supercharge your business development efforts this January.

CV Marketing Hub & Report

Don’t wait for job orders to come to you.

The Marketed CVs Report shows you who to follow up with and which sectors are generating the most interest, so you can focus your efforts where they’ll deliver results.

Appointments Report

Get complete visibility of your pipeline in one place.

Track all your meetings, calls, and appointments so you can prioritise conversations and plan follow-ups effectively.

Bulk Emailing

Reach the right people with personalised messages at scale using templates and merge fields.

Hit the sweet spot between efficiency and personalisation.

Smart Searching

Search Contacts by last contacted date to find warm leads, or filter by last CV marketed, interview, or placement.

Save your searches to run again as new results come in.

Dashboard Widgets

Your command centre for 2026.

Get a real-time view of live jobs, placements ending, upcoming calls, meetings, and contact birthdays all in one place.

References as BD Opportunities

Taking references builds relationships with hiring managers naturally—and if it’s for someone’s current role, you might pick up a backfill opportunity too.

Statistics Tab

Track submissions, interviews, offers, conversion rates, and placement values to understand which relationships are delivering results and where to focus your efforts.

Integrations

Extend your reach with SourceWhale for LinkedIn campaigns, Force24 for email and SMS marketing, and Zapier for workflow automation across thousands of apps.

Organisation Chart

Understand your client’s structure and identify decision-makers.

Spot opportunities across different teams and target the right people.

Company & Contact Record Hubs

Lapsed contacts are warm leads ready for re-engagement, whilst Trending shows you accounts with multiple new jobs in the last 30 days.
