End-to-End Operations Management Platform

Leading Directions provides an end-to-end Operations Management platform for Organisations servicing people with disabilities and barriers to Employment.  We can provide the tools you need to service a huge range of participants; from school leavers accessing work for the first time, right through to mature aged long-term unemployed job seekers.

But it’s not only about the Job Seekers

It’s also about the supporting Organisation.  Using the most current and cyber-secure technologies, our data analytics help our customers understand the business impact of their own performance to help them to grow and deliver their own efficiencies.
