iPhones and iPads to be Fully Supported by Bond Adapt, Combining Revolutionary Mobile Devices With Market-leading Recruitment Software to Enable iDesking
WORTHING, England, July 19, 2010 - Bond International Software www.bondinternationalsoftware.com the
global provider of recruitment & human capital management software &
services, is from today showcasing to new and current customers its dedicated
iPhone recruitment app (www.bondadapt.com/index.asp?showussite=0) and
iPad recruitment software (www.bondadapt.com/index.asp?showussite=0)
for Bond Adapt, its market-leading specialist portfolio of recruitment
software applications, thereby providing a full mobile and iDesking
(www.bondadapt.com/index.asp?showussite=0) ability.
Mobile access to recruitment platforms via smartphones is typically via
web browsers rather than dedicated apps and is presented on shrunken screens
and with limited functionality. However, through the Bond Adapt iPhone app,
recruiters can access their Bond Adapt systems on the move and use the
intuitive interface inherent within iPhones to, amongst other functions,
perform candidate searches, update vacancies and access profiles.
Daniel Richardson, Chief Technology Officer at Bond International
Software (UK), comments, "Bond Adapt's greatest advantage is that it can be
tailored according to a recruiter's specific needs, which intrinsically makes
it a software platform suitable for any organisation. This configurability
would ordinarily mean that no standard Bond Adapt app could be created as
each of our Bond Adapt deployments is different. However, through dedicating
a large amount of our research and development energies to the design of this
app and the iDesking trend, the advantages seen from the usability of iPhones
can be readily applied to a recruiter's day-to-day activity through the use
of our iPhone app, and our new iPad integration for full iDesking ability."
iDesking is a principle whereby a high level of customer service can be
provided in face to face scenarios through an iPad, as both a recruiter and
client-side app is made available from the same device. Therefore, through
iDesking a recruiter can run a search for a particular candidate type via the
recruiter app on the iPad and then, having simply switched to a client-facing
app, show the output to the client in a meeting. The client can then browse
the available candidate profiles and offer refinements, following which, the
recruiter may immediately re-run the search and then re-present a honed list
of candidates, with the ability to also show CVs and profile information for
each individual one, and even send the suitable candidates emails to ask if
they are interested. iDesking through the iPhone recruitment app and the iPad
recruitment software therefore allows less time to be spent on each client
without compromising on results.
Tim Richards, MD of Bond International Software (UK), comments on the
iDesking potential, "The functionality of iPad and iPhone technology is
taking the consumer and corporate world by storm. From a corporate
perspective, the intuitive technology not only has advantages for an
individual's working environment, but is particularly useful when in a client
meeting. iDesking through the iPhone recruitment app and the iPad recruitment
software provides the ability to cut out swathes of time by addressing a
client's needs immediately in a meeting and will not only showcase the
recruiter directly in front of the client, but also has tangible effects on
the recruiter's speed of delivery."
Richards continues, "We have literally thousands of recruiters using our
standard mobile functionality, and anticipate a similar degree of uptake of
our iPhone recruitment app and iPad recruitment software, eager to pursue an
iDesking strategy. Bond Adapt leads the market due to its configurability and
its reliability, but in order to maintain this position, we must ensure that
our technology is accessible to all our customers, irrespective of their
preferred method of use. With iPhones and iPads only likely to increase in
popularity, we have developed a strong iPhone and iDesking proposition which
we are sure will also lead the market in its own right."
