"As a global business operating across 33 countries, communication between our 8,000 consultants, candidates and clients via the Internet is a key business issue. The latest Adapt system, brings us multi-lingual capabilities, sophisticated integration options, social media enablement coupled with scalability through a web-based delivery model, thereby providing a platform that enables business options that historically could never be imagined let alone realised. So the decision made  to upgrade to the v11 platform in 2008 has proven to be a critical strategic decision that has  put the Hays digital estate at the forefront of the market in the fast moving Internet enabled world that today's recruitment business  has become.'

"As we emerge from the economic downturn, the recruitment industry is once again becoming an increasingly competitive marketplace. Coupled with this, recruitment technology has rapidly advanced in the past five years. It is for these reasons that we felt that we had to equip ourselves with the best possible tools to enhance our recruitment consultants' productivity and make our processes more efficient. We have been using Bond Adapt for the past 20 years and, given their efforts in constantly updating the software and pre-empting market needs, we have seen no reason to change supplier....Bond's service and support has been second to none...'

 'Initially, six years ago, we began using the online portal version of Bond Adapt and have since upgraded the system. As I had used it previously at Hays Recruitment, and had been so impressed by its ease of use and the detailed, comprehensive functionality of the software, there was absolutely no reason to even consider using an alternative. After all, Bond Adapt has everything we needed in a well-supported, highly functional package and their account and development teams were able to tailor the product to our initial needs and then have been able to easily accommodate further changes to the business as we grew and evolved. The attention to detail, both in the design of the product and the subsequent account management, has made the development of our organisation far easier to manage as we never had any fears over our infrastructure failing to be able to flex with our business decisions. After six years, we see no reason to change supplier..."

'...we are not IT experts and we wanted to make sure that not only were we equipping ourselves with the very best tools, but also that we were relying on suppliers that were stable enough to not pose a risk to our own business.
After a period of consultancy and evaluation, there were a number of key differentiators that made the final decision for us. Most important was the approach taken to customisation. Most software packages claimed to be adaptable, but where Bond Adapt Version 11 was superior was in the ability to configure any area of the software or workflow immediately and according to our precise business needs. 
Bond's competitors on the other hand were able to configure in some respects immediately, but for other aspects of what we required, we would have had to wait until the core software was developed and the next version was put on general release - it felt more restrictive from a timing perspective  but more importantly the ideas and innovations that we will want to implement would then be available to everyone - without Bond Adapt it seemed to us that there would be no competitive edge....'

'...with 2,500 candidates and an ever increasing number of candidates currently on our database, we appreciate that we are not a big company. This however, has never affected the level of service we receive from Bond. The software itself is ideally suited for a business such as ours - in fact it provides the backbone of our infrastructure - and the way in which our service and support queries have been handled has been admirable."'

'...the service we receive from Bond International Software has been excellent. Given our reasons for using the software, we have requested very specific configurations, which have always been provided by Bond. Our account manager is very understanding of our needs as a business, and always ensures face-to-face contact whenever possible, which we really appreciate...'

"I really couldn't speak highly enough of the services Bond International Software provide us with, or of the functionality afforded by Bond Adapt V11. The back-up support we receive from the team is second to none, and so I can see Bond playing a major role in our future growth."

"I had used Bond's software solutions at a previous company, and was therefore well aware of the potential it could have at Uxbridge Employment. The functionality of Bond Adapt's services is far better than that offered by its competitors, and it was therefore an easy decision to make when choosing a platformto improve the efficiency of our business. Deployment of Adapt's software has definitely improved our day-to-day activity and the profitability of the business as a whole."

In 2007, Call Centre Managers implemented Bond Adapt V11, as with 8000 candidate details and 3500 clients, CCM needed a more streamlined service, more suited to their particular business requirements and specifically tailored to recruitment services:

 "When I took over the business in October 2006, the software package currently in use was simply not effective enough - its functionality and usability were poor such that crucial parts of the recruitment process, such as sending terms of business or CVs, were being missed. Implementing Adapt means a far more thorough system is in place - with everything stored in one simple location, access to data is far more efficient than before. The package can be used effectively to call clients and also to keep records of conversations between clients and candidates...Our main ambition is to grow as a business, and we are certain that Adapt will play a vital role in this."

'Talisman Retail have worked successfully with Bond Adapt V11 for just over two years. We changed our previous incumbent system as we required a more stable system and one that offered more features.  We needed a system that was quick and would assist the Consultants, as well as reduce the amount of time required for searches and obtaining information. We selected Bond due to its reputation in the market place, and as a large international company, we appreciated that we would have access to greater support should there be any technical hitches. As a result, we have seen improved efficiency for our office staff and Consultants, which contributes to improving the business.'
