Staffing Agency Software Supplier, Bond Adapt Partners With Drag&Tag

WORTHING, England, Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bond International Software, the global provider of recruitment agency software & human capital management software, has integrated its portfolio of recruitment system applications and staffing agency software – Bond Adapt http://www.bondadapt.com and EZAccess – with Drag&Tag http://www.dragandtag.com , a browser based collaborative research tool.

The partnership means customers of recruitment system provider Bond can easily -

• Create and update records in Adapt without leaving their browser
• Integrate LinkedIn with their existing workflow
• Categorise and make notes on useful web pages
• Compare user's online activity
• Search team members Outlook folders and useful (tagged) web pages

Recruiters typically use the internet to search for information about their clients, prospects and candidates, then manually create or update records on their recruitment system. If a consultant is busy, the record may not be completed accurately or even not added to the database at all. Instead, key information often gets stored in personal folders; excel spreadsheets, or notepads, which leads to missed opportunities and duplication of effort by other team members.

The integration of Drag &Tag with Adapt, has provided an effective solution to this problem - Drag&Tag Adapt is seamlessly integrated with LinkedIn, users' existing Outlook folders, and the internet so that content from any of these sources can be easily imported into the Adapt recruitment system and retained.

Guy Rubin, Managing Director at Drag&Tag, explains, "Our clients' intellectual property is one of their biggest assets. Drag&Tag makes the useful information found online searchable across the business and speeds up the process of getting it into their existing recruitment system. Drag&Tag has become a 'must have' toolbar for recruiters that use the internet and Outlook to research clients and job seekers."

Rubin continues, "The feedback from the initial group of customers who already have Drag&Tag integrated with the staffing agency software, Adapt, has been incredible. Owners and managers like how Drag&Tag drives best practice and the IP retention, while their recruiters love the way Drag&Tag links information they find online and tools they already use (e.g. LinkedIn and Outlook folders) with their existing recruitment system. We are delighted to formally announce that Drag&Tag is now available to all Bond customers integrated with all versions of recruitment agency software, Adapt, and EZAccess."

Rubin added, "The investment both companies have put into this collaboration has lead to a seamless user experience we can both be proud of. Bond customers, who use recruitment agency software, Bond Adapt, will be pleasantly surprised by the easy 'Plug&Play' installation and rollout and we are particularly excited about the coming months."

Tim Richards, Managing Director of Bond International Software, concludes, "Bond Adapt is arguably the most versatile and effective staffing agency software available to recruiters for the management of candidate and vacancy data. However, a recruiter's success relies upon how quickly data can be inputted into the recruitment system and acted upon. Drag&Tag will allow our customers to import vital information from a variety of online and offline sources into our recruitment agency software, enabling them to log jobs and place suitable candidates into vacancies at a far faster pace. This collaboration will enhance our customer's recruitment system, therefore having a direct, quantifiable impact on their bottom line."
