Michael Page International Selects Bond Adapt Recruitment for Global Rollout
Bond International Software will provide a configured, multi-lingual recruitment solution across 149 offices in 25 countries
London, United Kingdom (January 28, 2008) – Michael Page International, one of the world’s largest professional recruitment companies, has selected the Adapt Recruitment system from Bond International Software in a multi-million pound contract. The Adapt Recruitment solution will be implemented globally across Michael Page’s business and will form the basis of its front end recruitment systems which over 4,000 recruitment consultants use to do business on a daily basis.
Bond International Software is the world's leading supplier of specialist recruitment software solutions and Adapt Recruitment is used by nine out of ten of the leading recruitment organizations around the world. The flexibility of Adapt Recruitment means that it is unique in its field, whilst it has an industry standard specification, it can be adapted to the specific needs of a particular organization. Adapt Recruitment is fully platform and database independent, scalable and configurable, with comprehensive self-service features.
Adapt Recruitment also has multi-lingual capabilities, allowing any number of languages to be embedded within one database. All text can be presented in the native language and character set of the specific user, wherever they may be. This was a key selection criteria for Michael Page when considering the solution for its global business.
Andrew Wayland, CIO, Michael Page International, comments, “Bond International Software has a significant reputation in the recruitment market but we needed to be sure that Adapt Recruitment was the right solution for our business and our individual requirements. Bond has clearly demonstrated that the solution has flexibility and scalability and that it can be configured to match our ambition for growth. Furthermore, its range of functionalities and services is impressive.”
Wayland continues, “It was also imperative that the system could support our operations across Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas, therefore we needed a solution that could support a very broad array of languages and countries. Bond has clearly demonstrated that its geographic spread and extensive experience in international roll-outs will enable it to deliver across all of our offices.”
In addition to the implementation of the system, Bond International will provide global support and training services. Headquartered in the UK, Bond also has offices in the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada and South Africa.
Wayland continues, “The ability to provide localized support across multiple regions was another defining factor in Michael Page’s decision to select the Adapt Recruitment system.”
Tim Richards, Bond International Software, Managing Director, concludes, “Bond is ideally suited to deliver a project of this magnitude. We have immense experience and an impeccable track record. I am confident that through Adapt Recruitment we can deliver significant business benefits to Michael Page’s global business.”
