PROVEN
Free
The hiring process can be time-consuming . It ’ s tempting to hire a recruitment agency to sift through the mountains of CVs for you . But when you need an extra set of hands , there ’ s Proven , an app that makes the impossible , possible : Post your job listing to several job boards all at once ; sort through applications in minutes ; group applications into yes , no , and maybe piles ; and update your account when you ’ ve made contact with a candidate .
Proven is particularly popular among businesses with infrequent employment needs , such as a sales team , restaurant or retail firm . It ’ s free to download on iOS and Android , but the cost to use it will depend on how many jobs you ’ re posting and where . For example , premium job boards are a little pricier , but the more listings you publish , the cheaper it becomes .
FUZE

Modern-day workplaces aren ’ t always office-based . As we move toward a more flexible approach to work , many of us find ourselves doing the 9 to 5 from home or in a co-working space — and that may be especially true if you ’ re just starting out in the world of business and can ’ t commit to an office space just yet .
Fuze helps you keep in touch with your team or clients via a videoconferencing facility , which is particularly handy if some of the people you work with are overseas . The app hosts online meetings for all devices and operating systems in HD-quality video with crisp audio .
Fuze is simple to set up and compatible with a whole host of other business applications you might find useful , including Salesforce , Gmail , and Zendesk . The app is free to download , but SME owners can contact the company for custom pricing .
