WORTHING, England, June 27, 2011 -
- Executive Search Process
Software Bond Vantage to Make International Executive Search
Consultancy Faster, More Efficient and More Productive Through a
Central Sharing of Global Data -
Award-winning international financial search and consultancy
firm Execuzen has, following an extensive assessment of the
marketplace, selected to deploy Bond Vantage
the recently-launched executive search software for
executive search companies, encompassing both global firms and
boutique talent sourcing teams. Bond Vantage, designed exclusively
for executive search companies, is the latest software innovation
by Bond International Software, the global provider of recruitment
and human capital management software and services.
Execuzen - the winner of the Here is the City ‘Best
Search Firm’ award for five years running - specialises in senior
level search within the financial sector and has offices in London,
New York, Hong Kong, Mumbai and most recently Istanbul, currently
employing over 60 people internationally.
Before making the switch to Bond Vantage, the company was using
basic custom-made software, which lacked the necessary
functionality to allow the business to complete its projects as
efficiently as possible and therefore to expand the business
further. This lacking but vital functionality included providing
access to all client records and notes across its various
international offices and therefore avoiding duplicated effort or
conflicting records. Furthermore, Bond Vantage, is able to map onto
Execuzen’s existing processes, rather than require the development
of new ones to suit the technology, and as such, is able to support
any workflow, process or nuance of Execuzen’s business.
Dan Hudson, Execuzen COO comments, “Our clients expect us to
maintain a thorough and detailed knowledge of our market and to
have the most up-to-date and detailed information on our candidates
and contacts available at our fingertips. By using Bond Vantage, we
will have access to all of our records from one central database,
accessible from all of our international locations, thus improving
our
executive search process overall. This ensures that the
consultancy arm of the business, which offers clients market
mapping, benchmarking and management consultancy, maintains its
competitive edge amongst other executive search companies through
easy access to accurate data and a more productive approach to the
service.”
Hudson continues, “The value of any
international executive search consultancy is defined by its
information, contacts and relationships. This therefore requires a
readily-accessible database and supportive and reliable
infrastructure that allows us to demonstrate the extent of our
international executive search industry knowledge against other
executive search companies, our ability to work efficiently and
rapidly and therefore why we occupy the dominant place in our
market.”
Prior to being selected by Execuzen, executive search process
software Bond Vantage was benchmarked against three competitors to
ensure that it met specific criteria set out by an internal IT
steering committee. The committee included individuals from the
highest management level through to the most junior, so as to
ensure that that the software was of equal value and utility
company-wide.
Hudson continues, “Having benchmarked Bond Vantage thoroughly we
felt confident that it clearly met all of our specified criteria,
ranging from IT-based requirements to ease of use, and was the best
software solution to enable us to improve both our daily processes
and our access to management information. It would have been
pointless and eventually expensive to deploy an international
executive search software solution that we could not guarantee
would be just as useful for board level company-wide analysis as it
was for the day-to-day running of our search projects. With
executive search process software Bond Vantage’s functionality and
design however, we could foresee clear company-wide benefits and
felt certain that we were making the correct choice.”
Tim Richards, Managing Director of Bond International Software
concludes, “We are delighted that Execuzen selected Bond Vantage as
their executive search process software of choice. The fact that
Bond Vantage met the rigid selection criteria that international
executive search firm Execuzen set highlights Bond’s thoroughness
in the design of comprehensive executive search process software
that supports every facet of executive search companies in the most
unobtrusive manner possible. Execuzen is the perfect example of an
ambitious and successful international executive search
organisation that stands to benefit enormously at every level from
scalable, flexible executive search process software such as Bond
Vantage.”
