Education Specialists at The University of Wales Institute Cardiff (UWIC) Reduces Recruitment System Administration Process by 75% via use of Staffing Agency Software, Bond Adapt

WORTHING, England, Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The education recruitment agency, 'Education Specialists @ UWIC' expects to see a 75% time saving in their recruitment system administration processes following the full implementation of staffing agency software Bond Adapt http://www.bondadapt.com, a specialist portfolio of applications from Bond International Software, the global provider of recruitment and capital management systems.

UWIC's Cardiff School of Education is one of the largest providers of teachers in Wales. The education recruitment agency has been established as part of the university's core business and through its unique position in the industry; 'Education Specialists @ UWIC's' recruitment team has a clear insight into the education sector and is able to closely monitor appropriate education trends. The Cardiff School of Education at UWIC sees approximately 90% of its graduates finding employment or undertaking further study within the first six months after completing their course. This figure is in no small part helped by having the education recruitment centre on-site as UWIC's teaching students are able to begin their recruitment search while completing their course.

Christine Ames, Education Recruitment Manager, comments, "Recruitment agency software Bond Adapt will give 'Education Specialists @ UWIC' a 75% time saving in administration processes. The software has moved us away from a heavy reliance on more traditional paper-based methods and spreadsheets, and has  immediately and dramatically shortened administration processes such as letter and email writing, data input and retrieving information from either physical filing cabinets or on the outdated electronic recruitment system. By using Bond Adapt staffing agency software, we now have instant access to all our necessary information, far simpler data management processes and the ability to automatically draft letters and emails. Administrative tasks such as candidate and employer correspondence and database maintenance now take only a quarter of the time that they used to, meaning we are now able to make our recruitment system more efficient, dedicating more time to rapidly finding our students their first jobs."

Bond International Software is the world's leading supplier of specialist recruitment agency software solutions. Bond Adapt is used by nine out of ten of the leading recruitment organisations around the world. The flexibility of Bond Adapt recruitment system software 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 organisation.

Ames adds, "We looked at a number of products on the market before choosing staffing agency software Adapt. One of the elements that attracted us to the recruitment agency software was the multitude of practical improvements it would bring to our day to day processes, which in turn lead to a clear return on investment through time savings and efficiencies. The ability to be able to manage several assignments at once and spend less time on administrative tasks allows our staff to be more productive and timely with assignments, improving the recruitment system overall and therefore spending more time on the rapid and precision placement of our students."

Tim Richards, Managing Director of Bond International Software UK, concludes, "We are delighted to be working with such a unique organisation as 'Education Specialists @ UWIC', and are flattered that they chose Bond Adapt recruitment agency software as their product of choice. UWIC is clearly visionary and ambitious and we look forward to working with them in the future to support them in further enhancement of their recruitment system."
