Having previously used different recruitment software, Ben and Indi undertook a wide review of the market with a view to finding the right system to help launch their business and enable it to rapidly grow. Key criteria included tools for effective searching, KPI tracking, reporting and email marketing. As their review progressed, the Adapt lead generation and business development tools designed to maximise opportunities, coupled with the KPI tracking and management reporting tools to help inform new strategies, secured Bond’s position as a frontrunner. The following features led to their decision to select Adapt.

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

  • Adapt InTouch mobile app – allowing Oakwell Hampton’s users to access Adapt via their smartphones and effectively recruit on the move

Ben Higgs, Director, Oakwell Hampton, comments, “As a new start-up looking to succeed and grow, it was very important to select the right supporting software from the word ‘go’. The searching tools provided by Bond Adapt will help us find more candidates with the right technical experience and the KPI and management reporting tools will work hand in hand with our positive environment for employee happiness, training and motivation. From driving individual consultant success to delivering meaningful management information, Bond Adapt is an ideal solution for recruitment business growth.”
