eEmpACT Opens New West Coast Office in California!

As the staffing industry continues to grow, eEmpACT recently opened a brand new office to further leverage new market opportunities and continue to lead the staffing industry in offering an integrated staffing software solution.

Located near San Francisco, in Walnut Creek, CA, the new office will provide a more central location to the West Coast’s estimated 3,500 staffing companies currently in operation. “By providing local resources to a region that is saturated with staffing companies is a win-win for both eEmpACT and our customers,” said eEmpACT President & CEO Tim Giehll. “When 30% of all staffing companies in the United States are located on the West Coast, it’s our responsibility [as part of the industry] to establish a physical presence and build awareness in an area that can greatly benefit from our solutions. The office also provides further growth for the company as it expands into additional human capital management software areas.”

Stationed at the new location will be long-time staffing industry veteran Sean Gogan. As the new West Coast Sales Territory Manager for eEmpACT, Gogan brings more than nine years of experience in the staffing industry, as well as a thorough understanding of the software. He formerly worked at Renoir Staffing and KEY Resources, both eEmpACT customers and also is a California Accredited Consultant. In addition, he is a past President of the Golden Gate Chapter of the California Staffing Professionals (CSP) and was on the state board of CSP in 2005-2006.

eEmpACT’s West Coast office is just one of three new office openings worldwide this summer for Bond International Software. Recently the Bond Adapt division, based in Richmond, VA, opened a location in San Diego and the Bond headquarters in the UK launched a new office in Hong Kong.

eEmpACT's headquarters, Bond International Software, maker of various recruitment software, announced it was opening a new division office in Hong Kong. The company recently reported its software's ability to handle Asian languages and character sets. The new office will provide full local technical support and expand its sales opportunities throughout the region. The Hong Kong location joins the already global Bond International Software (over 200 employees) with offices in the US, Australia, South Africa and its UK headquarters.

With 14 branches around the United States, Horn Murdock Cole (also known as Accretive Solutions- Northern California, Inc. dba Horn Murdock Cole and Dickson Allan) provides a complete spectrum of consulting services throughout the accounting and finance discipline. Dickson Allan heads the recruiting side of the company, sourcing candidates for positions within their client base.

Having head offices in Santa Clara and San Francisco, HMC has been in business since 1989 until Accretive Solutions acquired it in 1999. Four years ago Accretive implemented eEmpACT and HMC then began using the customized features for consulting firms. Using eEmpACT, HMC payrolls 1,200 checks nationally to its many employees each week.

With eEmpACT, HMC has found help on a daily basis. According to Janet Tate, HMC's Account and Scheduling Manager, "Improved visibility to recruiter and sales activity, such as calls, meetings and other core business metrics, has increased productivity and efficiency. [There's] no redundant or duplicate entry of consultants and clients with the back office link to Great Plains Dynamics," she adds.

The possibilities seem endless with eEmpACT and Janet feels eEmpACT pays attention to her comments. "eEmpACT is like working with a small company; they care and they listen."

It’s hard to believe how fast summer goes. We hope you’ve been able to enjoy this fun time of year; perhaps you still have vacation plans in the next few months as the season wraps up and we approach fall. From a business perspective, we also hope the summer has treated you well.

At eEmpACT, the summer has brought even more changes to the Bond family. As you’ve discovered in this issue, Bond continues to expand its global presence, with the newest offices opening in Hong Kong and California. So what does this mean to you, as an eEmpACT user? Maybe there’s not an immediate or direct correlation to you and your staffing business, but it should give you piece of mind and reinforce your confidence in partnering with a company that is financially healthy and continuing to dominate the global marketplace for staffing and recruiting software.

Additionally, knowing that eEmpACT is part of a publicly traded company should further strengthen your assurance of the wise investment you made in selecting staffing software. I encourage all of you to see for yourself how the company is performing- Bond is conveniently listed on the London Stock Exchange as “BDI.” So, even as Bond continues to seek new ground in the future, every established division within Bond, like eEmpACT, is just as vital as the latest opportunity.
