I am looking for work at the moment and visited my local recruitment agency. I was really impressed with their applicant tracking software. I guess that sounds a bit boring, but as a software programmer myself, I always am interested in different software. What I particularly liked about it was the resume parser. It is interesting that the software really fits the purpose that it is designed for and the users really like it too. That may sound like a silly thing to say, but I am often asked to write software where the end users have not been asked what they would like from it and they just get to use it at the end. If it is replacing something else, they are not asked if they want improvements to be made, features to be added or things to be left out. This is ridiculous to me and I am always keen to promote my ideas of customer orientated design and this staffing CRM software illustrated exactly why this was such a good idea. It has certainly made me feel that keeping this approach to programming is something which will hopefully make me more successful at my job than others who do not have this approach.
