Most recently, we’ve deployed Adapt to clients in Canada allowing users to toggle between French and English. This option is really a must for clients with offices in Quebec.

Our staff was really happy to get the chance to meet new people and make new friends as well as reconnect with the old ones. ASA continues to impress us with their annual tradeshow and convention and we are already planning for our participation next year.

The new integration between Vendor Management Systems and Adapt will speed up the process of getting the active orders to recruiters, eliminate costly administrative overhead and avoid the pain of missing out on orders entirely.

“Automating this process could save hundreds or potentially thousands of hours of time and allow recruiters to focus on the best and most qualified candidates to fulfill the needs of their clients,” said David Read, CEO of Bond US. “Bond is committed to the continued creation of integrations like these that promote productivity and drive revenue growth for our clients.”

Read continued, “when we analyzed our clients time, we found that they spent a tremendous amount of effort re-keying job orders from VMS’s and Job Boards. In addition, they were simply unable to keep up with the volume and would completely miss out on some job orders. By automating the process, our clients can focus on recruiting and not on data entry.”

The system works by automatically logging in to the VMS, using the staffing company’s login information for each job board. Then it will download the active job orders into Adapt and present them to the user in an easy-to-use format. The whole process is automated and seamless to the recruiters – they just get the current active job orders in a dashboard to work through. It is designed to download from multiple job boards simultaneously with updates every few minutes. This ensures the data is always current and the recruiters always have the most up-to-date information.

Bond Adapt will be deployed by Remploy to manage the Government’s Department for Work and Pensions ‘Flexible New Deal’ programme in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire Region

Bond International Software, (’Bond’) the world’s leading provider of staffing software solutions, is delighted to announce that its flagship software, Adapt, will be used by Remploy to start deployment of the Government’s Department for Work and Pensions ‘Flexible New Deal’ (’fND’) programme - stage four of its new employment programme.

This is the first phase in a contract for Bond that is worth at least £750,000 in the first year and is potentially valued at over £5 million over the 6½ year agreement.

The Bond Adapt Recruitment software will be used as a case management system to help JSA customers in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire to find employment. Specifically, the software will manage the customer journey from referral to Remploy - by Jobcentre Plus staff - through to employment and the provision of in-job support by Remploy and subcontractors.

Recruitment and Human Capital Management specialist, Bond, will deploy its Adapt Recruitment System as a fully-hosted case management system that will take customers referred from the national network of Jobcentre Plus offices, matching them with the most appropriate local employment advisor who is a ‘barrier specialist’. The advisor will then use the Bond Adapt system to take the applicant through the process of job application, interview, placement and in-job support in a suitable position with an employer or Partner within the fND programme.

The hosted solution allows Remploy complete flexibility over the number of its staff and its subcontractors who are able to operate the system at any time from within their offices. In addition, the system will also provide an internet-based, secure, online web portal for use by barrier specialists, customers, employers and Ofsted and Jobcentre Plus staff, to access customer information and action plans, to perform job searching, to upload vacancies and to access and review management information for quality assurance.

As a SaaS deployed model, pricing is based upon the number of users of the system on a month by month basis and Remploy have the complete flexibility to adjust this on an as needed basis, consequently the contract has been awarded for a potential of 6½ years and the value will vary depending upon the number of users and the duration.

Tim Richards, Bond International Software, Managing Director, commented,

‘Cloud-computing is a safe, secure and highly cost-effective way for Government to deploy projects of this scale and complexity. Bond Adapt is ideally suited to delivering a project of this scale, it is functionally-rich and highly adaptable to enable the Public Sector to take advantage of over 10 years of private sector development. We believe we are well ahead of the rest of our market in being able to deliver the same functionality on premise or in the Cloud.’

Craig Lewis, Remploy’s Employment Services Director of Operations, commented,

‘Bond International Software has a significant reputation in the recruitment market, but we needed to be sure that Adapt Recruitment could provide the complex case management system that was needed for fND. Bond has clearly demonstrated that the solution has the flexibility we need, both in functionality and the underlying technology for it to be deployed in the Cloud.’
