IBP Recruitment, independent general recruitment consultancy service covering the whole of the UK, have selected Bond International Software, the global provider of staffing and recruitment software, to provide AdaptUX OnDemand recruitment-specific CRM via high-speed cloud service.

Calne, Wiltshire-based IBP Recruitment was founded in 2015 by Director Craig Roberts with the clear vision to provide businesses of all sizes with the right people for permanent, temporary and contract positions.  Covering a wide range of sectors (including Telecommunications, Administration, Sales, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Automotive, Civils, Construction and Call Centre Staffing), their experienced team prioritise great communications and customer service and have built successful, long-term relationships with clients and candidates alike.  Proud members of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), IBP Recruitment consistently go the extra mile to ensure every placement they make is a solid and dependable one.

Bolstered by their success since 2015, IBP Recruitment have continued to invest, upgrading their website, telephone system and CRM software to enter a new phase of expansion and growth empowered by the best supporting technology.  Previously using a market-leading CRM, they widely reviewed recruitment-specific CRM software with a keen eye for full recruitment-cycle efficiency, business development, KPI tracking, management reporting and third-party software and email integration capabilities (especially Broadbean and Outlook 365).  As their review concluded, IPB Recruitment selected AdaptUX for the intuitive functionality it provided throughout these important areas, alongside its overall simplicity and ease of use.  Their implementation includes-

• Cloud/SaaS (Software as a Service) – Bond OnDemand enables users to log-in and use AdaptUX wherever they have internet access
• Adapt Studio – enabling users to choose from built-in recruitment dashboards or design their own based upon their preferred working methods
• Lead Generation – real-time business development dashboards within Adapt Studio enable users to effectively track leads and opportunities and grade their priority
• Active Reporting – meaningful business intelligence and management reporting tools delivered via graphical displays help inform business strategies
• Broadbean integration – seamless integration between AdaptUX and Broadbean delivers advanced job distribution and candidate sourcing technology
• Adapt Outlook Add-in – enabling users to access client and candidate records and run recruitment workflows in AdaptUX direct from emails received in Microsoft Outlook
• Adapt InTouch mobile app – allowing consultants to access AdaptUX via their smartphones and effectively recruit on the move

Craig Roberts, Director, IBP Recruitment, comments, “Simultaneously upgrading our business technology infrastructure, from our website to phone system and recruitment CRM, feels like a pretty big undertaking; so when it came to the CRM, we knew simplicity and ease of use were two of the most important factors.  AdaptUX stood out because the system has been designed to streamline all recruitment processes and have users up to speed and making the most of it as soon as possible.  When we considered the possibilities of Bond’s open API, enabling us to use Broadbean direct from AdaptUX and integrate further software as required, not to mention Bond’s ongoing updates and exciting future development, the benefits were clear and AdaptUX became the obvious choice.”

Toby Conibear, Global Sales Director, Bond International Software, comments, “IBP Recruitment have earned a great reputation in a relatively short period of time and we’re delighted to be a part of the next phase in their expansion and growth.  Craig and the team are dedicated to understanding their client’s business goals and candidate’s career aspirations in an honest and personable way which, alongside their ability to successfully recruit across several industry sectors, really sets them apart from their competitors.  ‘Inspired by people’ is IBP’s motto; and we have been inspired by them to redouble our efforts to provide the best technology and services to enable the continued success of recruiters striving to make a difference – for their clients, candidates, and the industry as a whole.”

Atlanta, GA: Bond International Software, a global provider of staffing software, announces its partnership with MAXIMUS, a leading provider of government services worldwide. The electronic I-9 solution provided by MAXIMUS is now available to Bond customers on eEmpACT, StaffSuite and seamlessly integrates with AdaptSuite Compass Onboarding.

“MAXIMUS is delighted to partner with Bond to make our electronic I-9 solution available to even more employers across the nation,” shared MAXIMUS President Bruce Caswell. “This is a strategic move for both companies, and I am confident it will enable us to reach more customers who are looking for streamlined, risk-reducing, and compliant approaches to onboarding.”

The partnership between MAXIMUS and Bond allows customers to reduce the risk of receiving hefty fines from government audits by ensuring I-9 forms are filled out correctly the first time. Validation checks within the system remove the possibility of human error. The system MAXIMUS offers is fully compliant with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s guidelines and is integrated with the USCIS E-Verify program.

This electronic I-9 system is a paperless solution that automatically submits employee data to the E-Verify program. It also uses automated notifications to alert an employer’s staff of documents that are close to their expiration dates and will need revalidation. MAXIMUS can also assist with unusual documentation situations, particularly those relating to I-9 and immigration issues.

Betsy Wilson, Director of Product Management, comments, “We are excited to provide this paperless technology for our customers to stay compliant on complex I-9 forms and minimize risk of expensive government fines. Our strategic alliance with MAXIMUS will further simplify onboarding and make it a fast and easy process for employees and staff members.”

Looking to upgrade from their existing recruitment software to help boost company growth and more easily add new consultants/users, Directors Ben Howat, Brian Spolander and the Consult RPM team prepared a list of key requirements ahead of reviewing AdaptUX.  Top of their list was software ease-of-use, closely followed by functionality for streamlining admin, maximising KPI’s/targets, accurate CV parsing, geographic searching and mailshot campaigns.  Quickly impressed by the ease-of-use delivered by the AdaptUX user interface, Ben and the team proceeded to evaluate how the system managed their further requirements – via both an online demonstration with a Bond Sales Executive and their own trial of a ‘sandbox’ system.  As their review concluded, the following features solidified their decision to implement AdaptUX.

• Cloud/SaaS (Software as a Service) – Bond OnDemand enables users to log-in and use AdaptUX wherever they have internet access
• Adapt Studio – enabling users to choose from built-in recruitment dashboards or design their own based upon their preferred working methods

Ben Howat, Director & Partner, Consult RPM, comments, “We are developing and building every facet of our business this year, so we required a new CRM capable of streamlining our processes, whilst delivering valuable KPI reporting to help boost our productivity and email marketing to help promote our services.  We also decided to move to a provider with straightforward monthly SaaS fees and the ability to add or remove users from the system hassle-free.  In Bond, we’re excited to have found a provider with the software and services to genuinely exceed our expectations.  AdaptUX is easily the most engaging recruitment software we have seen.  Believe the hype, AdaptUX means business.”

Toby Conibear, Global Sales Director, Bond International Software, comments, “We are delighted Consult RPM have selected AdaptUX to help realise their plans for business development and growth.  Consult RPM’s 200% money-back guarantee is a rarity within the Executive Search market, and one which only those most confident in their abilities would even consider offering.  Consult RPM’s confidence is clearly built upon their decade-long success.  The fact that their services are also underpinned by a carefully considered and practiced list of business ethics and values is all the more impressive.  We look forward to providing the software Ben and the team responded to – and we wouldn’t be surprised if we were adding many more new users to their OnDemand service soon.”
